Abstract: | A first-stage verified model of carbon/energy flux through the North Inlet (South Carolina) marsh—estuarine ecosystem is presented. The time series output for model compartments and overall septem carbon flow are compared with observed data collected over the past five to ten years. Results indicate that the model is stable and can broadly reproduce some of the major trends of a salt marsh—estuarine system. Further avenues of research are suggested. |
