Liable detritus = Liable litter biomass (Duever et al., 1986) + Labile non living POC + Labile DOC - Living sediment
Division between Refractory and Liable detritus standing stock according to compartment definition and Dierberg and Ewel, (1986) and convert gramms of biomass in gramms of carbon using a 1: 0.45 ratio (Jorgensen, S.E., et al., 1991) ,
| Liable litter biomass | Liable non living POC | Liable DOC | Living sediment | Total Liable detritus | |
| gC/m2 | gC/m2 | gC/m2 | gC/m2 | gC/m2 | |
| Wet season | 559.69 | 0.344 | 1.847 | 2.650 | 559.23 |
| Dry season | 419.77 | 0.115 | 0.618 | 1.987 | 418.51 |
Refractory detritus = Refractory litter biomass (Duever et al., 1986) + Refractory non living POC + Refractory DOC

Vertebrate detritus = total input to this compartment / turnover time (The turnover time is one week, because this compartment include vertebtate bodies just after death.
To Refractory detritus = Refractory DOC inflow + Refractory non Living POC inflow
To Liable detritus = Liable DOC inflow + Liable non living POC inflow
From Refractory detritus = Refractory DOC outflow + Refractory non Living POC outflow + Peat formation (Duever, 1986)
From Liable detritus = Liable DOC outflow + Liable non living POC outflow
