The role of climate change in the occurrence of algal blooms: Lake Burragorang, Australia
TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional hydrodynamic Estuary, Lake and Coastal Ocean Model (ELCOM) was coupled to the ecological Computational Aquatic Ecosystem Dynamics Model (CAEDYM) and to an underflow model to simulate the fate of the constituents from three flood underflow events in Lake Burragorang, Australia, in order to verify the changes in the hydrodynamical behavior that could lead to an algal bloom when the lake water level is low as a consequence of climate change.

Phytoplankton patchiness and their role in the modelled productivity of a large, seasonally stratified lake
TL;DR: In this article, a 1D approach to represent the dynamic of a spatially heterogeneous system, where there are non-linear dependencies between variables, was used to understand the role of spatial variability, expressed as phytoplankton patchiness, in the modelling of primary production.

Influence of advection on scales of ecological studies in a coastal equilibrium flow
TL;DR: In this paper, a 1D reactiondiffusion-advection equation is used to investigate the formation of patterns and relevant time and spatial scales and thus define an approach for the determination of a critical domain size that allows differentiation of the role of local and internal cycling from advective fluxes across the open boundaries in a shallow coastal ecosystem.

Estimating in situ phytoplankton growth rates with a Lagrangian sampling strategy
TL;DR: In this paper, a Lagrangian experimental design was employed to estimate biogeochemical rate coefficients in situ, and a set of four drogues and a cross-transect sampling design was used to capture the patchy distribution of phytoplankton and nutrient species, and high transport and mixing rates.
