Assuming that bacteria can only utilize small, at least partially oxygenated molecules,<br />

model simulations nonetheless show that in some cases more reduced NOM gives faster<br />

uptake rates (Figure 3) and that high MW NOM may be taken up more quickly than low<br />

MW material (data not shown). This demonstrates the presence of emergent properties<br />

arising from the complex humic mixture- overall behavior which appears <strong>to</strong> contradict the<br />

individual model <strong>ru</strong>les.<br />

4. CONCLUSIONS<br />

The ABM approach <strong>to</strong> the evolution of humic substances over time provides a<br />

comprehensive way of linking individual st<strong>ru</strong>cture and reactivity with macroscopic<br />

measurements and behaviors.<br />
