Intertidal Oyster Reef Ecosystem Model
This model is already at steady-state. You can perturb the initial
conditions, or use the stochastic method to see the inherent
variations in each compartment value.
# Intertidal Oyster Reef Ecosystem Model, by Dame and Patten.
# Model flows are in kcal m^-2 day^-1; storage data is
# kcal m^-2.
# This model is based on the Matlab model written by Fath
# and Borrett (2004).
