Abstract
Phytoplankton is a group of plant plankton that can live in the uppermost sunlight ocean. It requiers ocean light and nutrients to sustain itself. This group of plankton plays a major role in the ocean ecosystem due to the process of photosynthesis (primary production) in which carbon assimilation occurs. The intensity of light in the ocean decreases exponentially with depth with the rate of decrease determined by the optical properties of seawater, which are also determined by the amount of plankton in the sea. This work describes the basics of a competition model, critical depth theory and a primary production model. The work also describes mathematically how the expression for the temporal evolution of phytoplankton biomass in time is derived from an advection-diffusion-reaction equation. In this work two models are described: monochromatic model for one, two and N phytoplankton populations and a spectral model for one and two phytoplankton populations. At the end of the work, a competition model for phytoplankton is described which predicts which species will survive and whether both species can coexist in the ocean.
Abstract (croatian)
Fitoplankton predstavlja skupinu biljnih planktona koji mogu živjeti u površinskom osunčanom sloju oceana. Za preživljavanje fitoplanktona potrebna je svjetlost i hranjive tvari. Ova skupina planktona ima važnu ulogu u morskom ekosustavu zbog fotosinteze (primarne proizvodnje) pri kojoj dolazi do asimilacije ugljika. Intenzitet svjetlosti u oceanu eksponencijalno opada s dubinom ovisno o optičkim svojstvima morske vode, ali i o količini planktona u moru. U ovom radu opisane su osnove natjecateljskog modela, teorije kritične dubine i modela primarne proizvodnje. Rad također opisuje matematički formalizam koji pokazuje kako se dobije izraz za vremensku evoluciju biomase fitoplanktona izveden iz advekcijsko-difuzijsko-reakcijske jednadžbe. U radu su opisana dva modela: monokromatski model za jednu, dvije i više populacija fitoplanktona te spektralni model za jednu i dvije populacije fitoplanktona. Na kraju rada opisan je natjecateljski model za fitoplanktone koji pokazuje koja će vrsta preživjeti te mogu li dvije vrste koegzistirati u oceanu.
