Popis:	A model of soil carbon dynamics is described which takes account of decomposition of soil organic matter, losses through erosion, and input from crop residues and manure. Results are presented on the equilibrium soil carbon content for various management practices, yield levels, and soil characteristics. Estimates are given for the increase in grain yield and nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency for different levels of soil organic matter.
