For residues maintained on the soil surface, microbial colonization of substrate is slower initially due to population's adaptation phase substrate. Subsequently, decomposition becomes more intense easily mineralizable matter, and as process progresses, there a predominance resistant materials that can reduce attack. Thus, maximum rate CO2 release occurs in early days decomposition, this described by Gompertz model, which nonlinear sigmoidal regression model. The theory for models valid...
