Total Balance  of Properties in the Estuary

 

Global Values[1]

Phytoplankton [tonC/year]

Ammonia [tonC/year]

Nitrate [tonC/year]

+8300 +170 -410

[1]-Total annual balance of phytoplankton, ammonia and nitrate, in the reference situation. The total balance represents the difference between input and output fluxes computed by the model.
