Arguments

z

a numeric, elevation of the marsh

datumHigh

a numeric, highest water level of the tidal period

datumLow

a numeric, lowest water level of the tidal period

tidalCycleLength

a numeric, the length of time of the tidal cycle. This is set to 1 so that it estimates fractional flood time
