Marmots typically consume about 1-2 pounds of food each day, depending on their size and the availability of food sources. Their diet primarily consists of grasses, herbs, flowers, and other vegetation. During the summer months, they eat more to build fat reserves for hibernation. Their foraging habits are crucial for their survival and reproduction.
marmots eat lots of things like grasses
Marmots eat until they become full. This can take longer after hibernating for the Winter. They eat grass, flowers, and insects.
Marmots eat mostly vegetation and sniff it out with their noses. And sometimes they will whistle about it. Flowers, mosses, grasses, and berries are the preferred diet of marmots.
Marmots mainly eat greens and many types of grasses, berries, lichens, mosses, roots, and flowers.

If you are talking about the paper that is Chapter 2 ecology the best I can tell you is that the marmots habitat is pretty weak and can't be that hard for the bear to get to. It's role in the food chain is to eat the grass to supply energy for the bear, or if it lives a happy life and dies of old age or something the decomposer comes in and breaks it down.
According to Wikipedia, marmots -- large squirrels -- eat greens: "...types of grasses, berries, lichens, mosses, roots and flowers." So foraging for food on Vancouver Island shouldn't be hard, since it is a lush, green woodland area, except for settled cities and towns.Read more, below.
