E. Pipp et E. Rott, A PHYTOPLANKTON COMPARTMENT MODEL FOR A SMALL MEROMICTIC LAKE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SPECIES-SPECIFIC NICHES AND LONG-TERM CHANGES, Ecological modelling, 78(1-2), 1995, pp. 129-148
As a first step towards a larger ecosystem model mainly the photosynth
esis-light-temperature responses of phytoplankton were evaluated. The
iterative procedure to optimize the prognostic value of the modelling
equations is based on multiple regression analysis and residual statis
tics. Within the evaluations vertical, seasonal and long-term variabil
ity of phytoplankton were considered in order to identify the specific
situation in the lake.
