| Brief text description | Modelling of phytoplankton concentration in rivers |
| Long text description | "Phytoplankton chlorophyll a can be modelled by different dynamic models. The models model the time series of various water chemisty determinants in rivers. They all include factors representing the residence time, the light limitations and N and P limitations when calculating the chlorophyll a concentrations. Models: SWAT2000 (Neitsch et al. 2002), AQUATOX (Park et al. 2004), RIVERSTRAHLER (Billen et al. 1994)" |
