Bayesian calibration of a soil organic carbon model using Δ<sup>14</sup>C measurements of soil organic carbon and heterotrophic respiration as joint constraints

Soils of temperate forests store significant amounts of organic matter and are considered to be net sinks of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub>. Soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover has been studied using the Δ<sup>14</sup>C values of bulk SOC or different SOC fractions as observationa...
