Modeling
To model the Continuous Greening Cycle, we applied the biochemical engineering principle of mass balance. We defined a set of variables representing the various mass quantities involved in the system (biomass, nutrients etc), then constructed differential equations to describe their changes over time. We planned to use MatLab or R to run a simulation of the model.

Results
Unfortunately, due to lack of information on the parameters involved, a satisfactory simulation could not be achieved. It might have been possible to use mathematical methods to find the optimum parameters, but such parameters would not accurately reflect real-world situations. Until further experimental data can be obtained, the simulation will have to be put on hold.
