Phytoplankton (Algae) Mass Balance (equation from the model proposed by Chen and Orlob (1972)) where: V = segment volume (m3) C1 = phytoplankton concentration (g/m3) Q = flow volume (m3/t) E = diffusion coefficient (m2/t) A = segment surface/bottom area (m2) µ1 = phytoplankton growth rate (t-1) R1 = phytoplankton respiration rate (t-1) s1 = phytoplankton settling rate (t-1) M1 = phytoplankton mortality rate (t-1) µ2 = zooplankton growth rate (t-1) C2 = zooplankton concentration (g/m3) F2,1 = fractional feeding preference
Parameter Selection Example: Phytoplankton Settling For phytoplankton settling, another common approach is to treat phytoplankton settling as a velocity term with an areal loss: (Chapra and Reckhow 1983, Chapter 14) phytoplankton settling (mass/time) = v1AC1
