Description

This dataset provides input data and model code to run the Marsh Accretion Rates (NUMAR) process model used to predict soil accretion rates and chemical properties for marsh sites in the Mississippi River Delta. NUMAR is a modification of the NUMAN model by Chen and Twilley (1999) that was developed for mangrove environments. This dataset provides Python code, input data in comma separated values (CSV) format, and documentation for installing and running the model in Portable Document Format (PDF).
