Summary edit

Description
English: A diagram showing the open ocean plankton ecosystem model developed by Michael Fasham and coauthors in:

Fasham, M. J. R.; Ducklow, H. W.; McKelvie, S. M. (1990). "A nitrogen-based model of plankton dynamics in the oceanic mixed layer". Journal of Marine Research 48: 591–639.

The diagram shows 7 ecosystem components: P, phytoplankton; Z, zooplankton; B, bacteria; D, detritus; Nn, nitrate; Nr, ammonium; Nd, dissolved organic nitrogen. The connecting arrows indicate flows of material between these components driven by processes such as primary production, grazing and remineralisation. Closed-headed arrows indicate flows of material that remain within the model ecosystem; open-headed arrows indicate flows of material out of the modelled domain, for instance below the ocean's upper mixed layer.
