| The question is reviewed whether a balance exists between production and consumption of biological particles in temperate tidal estuaries and what the relationships are between the magnitude of production and consumption processes and system carbon metabolism. The production terms considered are primary production by phytoplankton, microphytobenthos, macroalgae and vascular plants and the chemoautotrophic production, mainly by nitrifying bacteria. The consumption terms are generalized by considering pelagic and benthic mineralization, but major consumer compartments, heterotrophic bacteria, zooplankton, meiobenthos, and macrobenthos are considered in detail. The proposition that estuaries are heterotrophic systems, and become more so when nutrient inputs... |

| Net phytoplankton productivity in the Westerschelde, a relatively deep. highly turbid and eutrophic estuary in the Southwest Netherlands, was examined by means of a 13-compartment dynamic simulation model. The description of the light-Iimited primary production was based on the model of Eilers and Peeters (1988. <i>Ecol. Model.</i>, 42, 185-198). This light limitation was parameterized to the different model compartments by integrating the Eilers-Peeters model over a day and over depth taking into account the morphology of the Westerschelde compartments, the daily fluctuating light regime and characteristics of the photosynthesis-Iight curves of the phytoplankton community. The availability of light to the phytoplankters limited primary... |
