The model calculated total
phosphorus concentration with sediment release to range from 6.2 to 12.7 with
a best estimate of 8.7 ppb.
The mean total phosphorus
concentration for epicore samples collected by CEAT at site 1 was 7.6
ppb.This value falls within the
range predicted by the model and is close to the best estimate, reinforcing
the legitimacy of our model.
