Abstract

Soil organic matter (SOM) is recognised as being of critical importance as a source and sink of carbon in the biosphere. As a result, research into predicting the effects of global environmental change on soil organic matter has been identified as a high priority within the Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems (GCTE) programme of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP). The objectives of GCTE Task 3.3.1., “Soil Organic Matter” require that a global network of SOM modellers and experimenters be established. This global soil organic matter network (SOMNET) will comprise a number of regional networks, one of which will be the European GCTE SOMNET.
