Reactions are either reversible «=» or irreversible (—»). decay of redox potential via a distributed metabolism that forms the cornerstone of our approach. We focus on micro- bial systems because these systems exhibit the greatest degree of metabolic capacity, are responsible for the major- ity of biogeochemistry on earth, display fast dynamics that allows for practical experiments, and are less susceptible to loss of diversity. Thermodynamically Constrained Metabolic Biogeochemical Model A traditional reductionist biogeochemical model would include differential equations for growth of each microbial functional group, equations for Monod-type growth kinet- ics, and numerous conditional statements to direct the use of.
