Table 2. Regression models of carbon and nitrogen lost from wheat straw.

Treatments Carbon lost / Ct = C0(1−e-kCt) Nitrogen lost / Nt = N0(1−e-kNt)
C0 kC R2 N0 kN R2
Aerobic condition 2.15 0.0152 0.99 26.4 0.02 0.995
Anaerobic condition 2.31 0.0085 0.95 27.7 0.012 0.993

Note: Ct is organic carbon lost from wheat straw at time t (g); C0 is the initial potentially mineralizable carbon (g); kc is the carbon decomposition rate constant (d-1); R2 is the correlation coefficient; Nt is nitrogen lost at time t (mg); N0 is the initial potentially mineralizable nitrogen (mg); kN is the nitrogen decomposition rate constant calculated (d-1); R2 is the correlation coefficient.
