Abstract
Agriculture manipulates energy fluxes, nutrient dynamics and hydrologic cycles. Descriptions of nutrient cycling and decomposition in agro-ecosystems are site-specific and thus generalizations are of limited validity unless processes and regulatory mechanisms are considered. Consequently, this chapter discusses organic matter status of agricultural soils, some of the mechanisms regulating processes and recently developed ideas on nutrient dynamics in manipulated soil-plant systems.
