An Annotated Bibliography of Marine Biological Models

  • Conference paper
Towards a Model of Ocean Biogeochemical Processes

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((volume 10))

Abstract

Many papers have been written about models of pelagic ecosystems. Over 100 of these papers, written over a period of more than. 40 years, are included in a bibliography at the end of this appendix. Most introduce a model, normally of several trophic levels, discussing its aims and structure, plus the results obtained. Some papers consider only a particular subsystem of an ecosystem model, such as the uptake of nutrients or the relationship between the rate of photosynthesis and light intensity, or a certain aspect of the interaction of the physics of the ocean and the biota. A few papers are reviews of other models, or are conceptual models.
