Similarly, the research would continue through the entire energetics diagram, 

 translating each storage into its appropriate mathematical analog. Each term 

 in the differential equation represents a specific energy flow in the model . 

 The initial value of the energy flows and storages are used to calculate the 

 pathway coefficients in the equation. For example, the flow of energy on 

 pathway k.N is 7 x 10^2 cal /yr (from Figure 7) thus: 



7 x 10^^ = k^N 

 .*. k = 5.83 x 10^
