Blue Carbon Depth-Profile Diffusion (2D)

Interactive 2D reaction-diffusion simulation of a tidal wetland sediment column: dissolved sulfate and methane profiles solved on a depth grid, with a live competitive-inhibition phase diagram showing where sulfate reduction crowds out methanogenesis.

A 2D-native counterpart to the 3D sediment-column simulator: instead of animating a microbe population against one bulk sulfate number, this version solves the sulfate/methane reaction-diffusion equations directly on a depth grid, then plots every depth cell's competitive-inhibition state on a live phase diagram — revealing the vertical gradient the 3D box model can't represent, while converging on the same kinetics and the same CO₂-equivalent bookkeeping in the well-mixed limit.
