Abstract
A model based on transport reaction equations has been developed, introducing a new bacterial kinetic term for the oxidation of organic matter by oxygen. This formulation is known as the Monod rate law. As it depends on both the oxygen and the organic carbon concentrations, it allows in a single model the representation of sediments undergoing totally oxic or oxic plus suboxic diagenesis. It results, however, in a system of coupled nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations. -from Authors
