Abstract
The goal of the elaboration of the RedOx Layer Model (ROLM) was to create an instrument for a complex analysis of the structures of the pelagic redox-interfaces in the seas with anoxic conditions. The processes of formation and decay of organic matter (OM), reduction and oxidation of species of nitrogen, sulfur, manganese and iron, and transformation of phosphorus forms were parameterized. This chapter is devoted to the detailed description of the assumptions and parameterizations of the processes considered. Examples of the ROLM application are given in other chapters of this volume.
