- Significant improvements to the model include
- Accretion Feedback Component: Feedbacks to vertical accretion of wetlands based on elevation, distance to channel, and salinity may be specified.
- Salinity Model: Multiple time-variable freshwater flows may be specified. Salinity is estimated and mapped at mean lower low water, mean higher high water, and mean tide level. Habitat switching may be specified as a function of salinity.
- Integrated Elevation Analysis: SLAMM will summarize site-specific elevation ranges for wetlands as derived from lidar data or other high-resolution data sets.
- Flexible Elevation Ranges for Land Categories: If site-specific data indicate that wetlands range beyond the SLAMM defaults, a different range may be specified within the interface.
- Improved Memory Management: SLAMM no longer requires contiguous memory, which improves memory management considerably.
- SLAMM 6 allows a user to import a spatial map of uplift and subsidence.
- Additional and significant graphical user interface upgrades were completed.
- Please refer to the technical documentation for more information on the changes from SLAMM version 5.0 to 6.0.
All model results are subject to uncertainty because of limitations in input data, incomplete knowledge about factors that control the behavior of the system being modeled, and simplifications of the system.
