The Regulated Ecosystem Model (REcoM) is a marine biogeochemistry model that simulates the coupled cycles of carbon, nitrogen, silicic acid, iron and oxygen in the ocean. It represents the plankton ecosystem with medium complexity, including variable stoichiometry and multiple plankton groups. The user can choose between configurations with varying complexities. REcoM uses mocsy to solve the carbonate chemistry and compute air-sea CO2 and O2 fluxes. It is used for studies of plankton ecosystems, primary production, the global carbon budget, and carbon-climate feedbacks spanning time-scales from recent decades, future centuries and paleo timescales. It is currently used in its version coupled to FESOM and AWI-ESM.
