“…As another example Luff et al (2001) present a MATLAB library to calculate pH distributions in marine systems. Kumblad et al (2003) construct an ecosystem model of the environmental transport and fate of carbon-14 in a bay of the Baltic Sea, just to give another example. A complex MATLAB® surface fluid flow model for rivers, streams and estuaries is presented by Martin and Gorelick (2005).…”

“…This step will serve as the starting point for the planning of field surveys necessary for collecting the site-specific data in the next step (see 2.2 below). Another example of conceptual model is the work done by SKB at the SAFE site [5,6]. The conceptual model could later, when site data are collected, be adjusted to a site specific conceptual model.…”

“…The budgets of organic matter in lake and sea ecosystems are described by means of biomass, primary production, secondary production, decomposition and water chemistry [6]. The conceptual model should also identify and include those abiotic factors that are of importance for vertical or horizontal transport of matter, such as precipitation and ground water movement.…”

Abstract. Preceding the construction of a future repository of spent nuclear fuel, a descriptive ecosystem model has to be developed in order to meet the demands set by a safety assessment. The descriptive ecosystem model should be able to describe stocks and flows of matter, and processes that may affect these on a broad landscape scale. Here we describe the planned strategy to develop such a model in three steps; the conceptual model, introduction of site-specific data and, transfer and accumulation of matter in the landscape. The suggested method is based on an ecosystem approach using site-specific data. A mass balanced ecosystem model with food webs provide a way of analysing how matter are linked to different ecosystem components through fluxes. It is suggested that estimated inflow and outflow of matter in mass balanced ecosystem units will reduce the potential variation of transport and accumulation of matter by setting the physical and biological limits to the system. In this paper we present a strategy to build a descriptive ecosystem model and shows examples from the ongoing descriptions at Forsmark and Simpevarp in the Swedish site investigation programme to illustrate the ideas.

“…An ecological model, which can be defined as a simplified representation of a specific ecological system, may be the only option for assessing chemical effects under circumstances where field experiments cannot be conducted [5]. Some reviews concerning the use of ecological models in ecological risk assessment have been published [6][7][8][9][10]. Among these models, AQUATOX, developed by Park et al [11], is one of the relatively few comprehensive models that have been designed specifically for environmental behaviors and the ecological impact assessment of pollutants.…”

-Hydrological and chemical data of water bodies are very scarce and the available ones are sparse in Nigeria compared to other developed countries. AQUATOX model was used in this study to simulate physicochemical interactions of water quality parameters in Vimtim stream, Mubi, Adamawa State, Nigeria. Three months data were input into AQUATOX model for its calibration after which the model was applied for an extended period of one year. The model was used to predict the behavior and interactions of some biotic and abiotic variables. The model output result agreed with observed result, which stated that the water quality parameters monitored were within the acceptable standard. However the one year model prediction recorded a reduction in catfish production
