Aiming at an improved understanding of the conditional nature of soil organic matter stability, we present an overview of (1) biotic strategies and (2) ecological processes by which decomposer organisms gain access to, or are prevented from metabolising soil organic resources. The biotic strategies discussed comprise well-known activities, such as the release of exo-enzymes, the mechanical crushing of organic residues, the bioturbation of soil mass, and the fixation of carbon in the living biomass. The ecological processes described have received less attention regarding their importance in prolonging the persistence of soil organic matter. Model calculations illustrate that cell energy demand forces micro-organisms...
