MODELING STREAM ECOSYSTEMS – THE WAY IT WAS

Models can be general, realistic, or precise, and ecological models having these characteristics have different uses. They can be used to explain ecological dynamics, to synthesize knowledge of ecological processes, to serve as standards, and to generate hypotheses and make predictions. Stream ecosystem models are models that deal with the flow of energy or nutrients. One of the earliest stream ecosystem models was the Streeter-Phelps model, published in 1925. Computer modeling of stream ecosystems began in the 1970’s and remains an active area of research today. A review of some of these models shows that they have various emphasis on generality, realism, or precision and fulfill many different uses. Most importantly, they are part of the normal scientific process: providing synthesis of existing knowledge and making predictions that can be tested by laboratory and field research.
