Improving Soil Carbon Models Using Energy Transformations and Optimality

Introduction Soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling is a fundamental process in the Earth system, influencing climate regulation, ecosystem productivity, and soil health (Lal, 2004). Current soil carbon models primarily rely on mass balance equations, which focus on carbon fluxes but overlook the critical role of energy transformations that occur simultaneously (Manzoni & Porporato, 2009). These
