'''Box models''' are simplified versions of complex systems, reducing them to boxes (or [[reservoir]]s) linked by fluxes. The boxes are assumed to be mixed homogeneously. Within a given box, the concentration of a ''species'' (e.g. a solute) is therefore uniform. However, the abundance of a species within a given box may vary as a function of time due to the input to (or loss from) the box or due to the production, consumption or decay of this species within the box.
