FESDIA-package {FESDIA}R Documentation

The FESDIA early diagenetic model.

Description

FESDIA is a 1-D model of Carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and oxygen diagenesis in a marine sediment. It is based on the OMEXDIA model, extended with P, Fe, S and CH4 dynamics.

The model describes fourteen state variables, in 100 layers:

Concentrations of liquids and solids are expressed in [nmol/cm3 liquid] and [nmol/cm3 solid] respectively. See Soetaert et al., 1996 for further details of the original OMEXDIA model.

The model is implemented in fortran and linked to R.
