Short summary
The Microbial Community Model (MCoM) is a flexible biogeochemical modeling framework which resolves a rich set of interactions between photosynthetic and heterotrophic microbes, including cross-feeding, metabolite exchange, and nutrient recycling. As such, it allows to assess community-level effects on elemental turnover emerging from microbial interactions. Its scalability allows to represent both simple pairwise interactions and large, diverse communities.
