Abstract

In order to evaluate the water quality (N, P and C) and the biological mass balance of semi-enclosed brackish Lake Obuchi, Japan, an ecosystem model was developed and applied to the lake, using the flow field calculated by a hydrodynamic model. The time series data of the observed tide level, river discharge and meteorological parameters from January 2001 to December 2002 were incorporated as the parameters of the hydrodynamic model. Water quality and biomass balance were estimated by the ecosystem model, and simulated fluctuations In water quality agreed with our observations. The carbon contents of POC, phytoplankton and zooplankton in the lake were calculated by the model at an average 7200, 1500 and 22 kg, respectively, which somewhat agreed with our observations of POC (5900 kg), phytoplankton (3800kg), and zooplankton (150kg).

반폐쇄성 기수호인 Obuchi호에서 수질과 생물학적 mass balance를 평가하기 위해 생태계 모델을 개발하고 적용하였다. 2001년 1월부터 2002년 12월까지 관찰된 조석의 차이, 강으로부터의 유입수 및 기상 변수들에 대한 시계열 자료들을 hydrodynamic 모델의 변수들로 접목시켰다. 수질과 생물생체량 balance는 생태계 모델에 의해 평가되었으며, 모의된 수질 값은 관찰 값과 일치하였다. 호수에서 모델에 의해 계산된 POC와 식물플랑크톤, 동물플랑크톤의 carbon 함량은 각각 7,200 kg, 1,500 kg, 22 kg으로 나타났으며, 이는 관찰 값 POC (5,900 kg), 식물플랑크톤 (3,800 kg)밍, 동물플랑크톤 (150 kg)과 어느 정도 비교할 수 있었다.
