Dynamic modelling of multiple phytoplankton groups in rivers with an application to the Thames river system in the UK

A process-based phytoplankton model developed to simulate the movement and growth of phytoplankton in river systems is presented in this paper. The model is based on mass-balance, and takes into account water temperature, light, self-shading, dissolved phosphorus and silicon concentrations. It was i...
