Introduction To Eutrophication Module

The document provides an overview of the variables and processes implemented in the WASP7 eutrophication module. It discusses state variables like ammonia, nitrate, phytoplankton, and dissolved oxygen. It also outlines the levels of complexity for implementing the WASP7 eutrophication model and lists processes considered like phytoplankton kinetics, nitrogen cycling, and sediment diagenesis.
