DESCRIPTION:Mechanistic simulation models are essential tools for predictin
 g soil functions such as nutrient cycling\, water filtering and storage\, 
 productivity\, and carbon storage as well as the complex interactions betw
 een these functions. Most soil functions are driven or affected by soil mi
 croorganisms. Yet\, biological processes are often neglected in soil funct
 ion models or only implicitly considered in form of unspecific\, effective
  rate parameters. This can be explained by the high complexity of the soil
  ecosystem with its spatial and temporal dynamic and heterogeneous environ
 ment.\nWe integrated different microbial processes and feedbacks into our 
 systemic soil model BODIUM (K&ouml\;nig et al.\, 2023) and tested the sens
 itivity of soil functions to these microbial aspects at the scale of soil 
 profiles. This includes flexible C:N ratios\, carbon use efficiency\, nitr
 ogen fixation\, feedback with root exudation\, and the dynamics of differe
 nt functional groups such as fungi and bacteria. In this talk\, I will pre
 sent some of the results and discuss the high relevance of microbial proce
 sses for soil functions at the field scale\, but also what further model i
 mprovements regarding process description are needed. Additionally\, I wil
 l give some insights how our model can be used as a decision support tool 
 for farmers.
