  abstract = {{A}n individual-based model, called {MIOR}, was designed to assess hypotheses on the effect of the spatial distribution of organic matter and microbial decomposers on soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics. {T}wo main types of object were defined to represent the decomposers and the soil organic substrates. {A}ll these objects were positioned in a 3{D} space. {T}he exchange of carbon and nitrogen between these various entities was simulated. {T}wo scenarios were tested according to the degrees of clustering of organic matter and of microorganisms. {T}he results of simulations highlighted the effect of the ratio of accessible organic carbon to microbial carbon on the dynamics of microbial biomass and {CO}2 release. {T}his ratio was determined by the number of contacts between one object representing the microbial decomposers and the surrounding objects representing the organic substrates.},
