Describe processes represented by the model	Sedimentation, compaction, root growth and death, carbon deposition, carbon decay
Describe key physical parameters and equations	Many, see Mudd et al. (2009) ECSS v 82(3) 377-389
Describe length scale and resolution constraints	Point on marsh surface, depth of modeled column can extend to 10s of meters. Sub cm vertical resolution.
Describe time scale and resolution constraints	Daily timestep.
Describe any numerical limitations and issues	Model slows down as layers are added making long runs (>2000 years) impractical.
