<meta content="The Integrated Generic Bay Ecosystem Model (IGBEM) is presented. It is a coupled physical transport-biogeochemical process
model constructed as a basis to explore the effects of model structure and complexity. The foundations for the model are two
existing models, the European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model II (ERSEM II) and the Port Phillip Bay Integrated Model (PPBIM).
Additional functional groups (such as benthic herbivorous invertebrates) and modules (dealing with sediment chemistry
and mixing) have been incorporated or modified to ensure a more complete representation of temperate bay ecosystems and their
processes, and a seamless amalgam of ERSEM II and PPBIM. The standard form of the entire model compares well with real
ecosystems, such as Port Phillip Bay in Australia, and conforms to general ecological checkpoints such as the expected Sheldon
Spectrum and Monbet's relationship between chlorophyll a and dissolved inorganic nitrogen. The model also produces spatial
zonation and long-term cycles characteristic of natural systems. Despite the model taking a generalised biomass per functional
group form, it captures well the system dynamics and allows for exploration of the effects of ecological driving forces such as
predation and competition." name="eprints.abstract" />

<meta content="The Integrated Generic Bay Ecosystem Model (IGBEM) is presented. It is a coupled physical transport-biogeochemical process
model constructed as a basis to explore the effects of model structure and complexity. The foundations for the model are two
existing models, the European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model II (ERSEM II) and the Port Phillip Bay Integrated Model (PPBIM).
Additional functional groups (such as benthic herbivorous invertebrates) and modules (dealing with sediment chemistry
and mixing) have been incorporated or modified to ensure a more complete representation of temperate bay ecosystems and their
processes, and a seamless amalgam of ERSEM II and PPBIM. The standard form of the entire model compares well with real
ecosystems, such as Port Phillip Bay in Australia, and conforms to general ecological checkpoints such as the expected Sheldon
Spectrum and Monbet's relationship between chlorophyll a and dissolved inorganic nitrogen. The model also produces spatial
zonation and long-term cycles characteristic of natural systems. Despite the model taking a generalised biomass per functional
group form, it captures well the system dynamics and allows for exploration of the effects of ecological driving forces such as
predation and competition." name="DC.description" />

It is a coupled physical transport-biogeochemical process
model constructed as a basis to explore the effects of model structure and complexity. The foundations for the model are two
existing models, the European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model II (ERSEM II) and the Port Phillip Bay Integrated Model (PPBIM).
Additional functional groups (such as benthic herbivorous invertebrates) and modules (dealing with sediment chemistry
and mixing) have been incorporated or modified to ensure a more complete representation of temperate bay ecosystems and their
processes, and a seamless amalgam of ERSEM II and PPBIM. The standard form of the entire model compares well with real
ecosystems, such as Port Phillip Bay in Australia, and conforms to general ecological checkpoints such as the expected Sheldon
Spectrum and Monbet's relationship between chlorophyll a and dissolved inorganic nitrogen. The model also produces spatial
zonation and long-term cycles characteristic of natural systems. Despite the model taking a generalised biomass per functional
group form, it captures well the system dynamics and allows for exploration of the effects of ecological driving forces such as
predation and competition.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" border="0" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Biogeochemical model; Ecosystem dynamics; Ecosystem processes
