Change of mass = (speed of entrance – speed of its consumption
by producer organisms) dt.

If we know the constants Y c , K c , K′ c , b c , Y p , K p , K′ p , b p , the initial concentrations X c0 , X p0 , C 0 and the function L(t), we can arithmetically solve the system
of differential equations step by step (e.g. for temporal step Δt = 24 hours)
and find the values of state variables X c , X p , and C for successive times t.
