Dynamics of coupled populations in an open, three-trophic-level system | Case |
| The investigated stream system, which consists of three-coupled populations (benthic algae, grazers, and predators), is modeled as a fixed region of space(e.g., stream reach) and over a limited period of time. The time scale allows for growth of primary producers (algae), but not for reproduction of grazers and predators. The system is open, allowing immigrations and emmigrations. Immigration at all trophic levels is assumed to be governed by external factors and to be... | 09 Oct 2016 |
