20 Conclusions and Scientific Advancement Rigorous simulation and quantification of critical soil functions and ecosystem services: C, N and P storage in soils, a fundamental soil function which is simulated dynamically, including relationships between soil structure and organic matter protection; Biomass production including effects of mycorrhizae and exudates on nutrient acquisition; Quantification of C in microorganisms, fungi and consumers, as an index of soil biodiversity; and Water transformations and filtration and simulation of the weathering of base cations / nutrient elements.
