To determine the effects of different nutrient dynamics in the Levatine Basin a 1-D multi component lower trophic ecosystem model is used and the carrying capacity and regulatory mechanisms of the nutrients on upper trophic levels at three contrasting marine sites in the Northeastern Mediterranean is assessed. Offshore waters of Mersin Bay, coastal sites of Erdemli and Rhodes Gyre is chosen as they represent distinctive characteristics in terms of nutrients dynamics. Model results suggest distinct mechanisms that drives the phytoplankton blooms in each region, for example in Rhodes Gyre highest productivity observed during late February, whereas the strongest bloom was during spring at Erdemli coasts. Offshore waters of Mersin Bay has the lowest productivity throughout the year with minor changes during winter and spring seasons.

ANALYSES OF ECOSYSTEM-PRIMARY PRODUCTION INTERACTIONS IN THE NORTHERN LEVANTINE BASIN
Yilmaz, Elif; Salihoğlu, Barış; Department of Oceanography (2016-10-12)
Three areas of different ecosystem characteristics in the Northern Levantine Basin is compared using a 1-D multicomponent lower trophic level ecosystem model developed by SALIHOĞLU, B. et al. (2009) (NAGEM). Main focus was to analyze and compare the carrying capacity (PP) and regulatory mechanisms of the nutrients on lower trophic levels. 26 years’ of historical data obtained from METU-IMS data inventory and CORIOLIS was used to form a climatology, to introduce boundary conditions to the model as well as to...
Biomass changes and trophic amplification of plankton in a warmer ocean
Chust, Guillem; et. al. (2014-07-01)
Ocean warming can modify the ecophysiology and distribution of marine organisms, and relationships between species, with nonlinear interactions between ecosystem components potentially resulting in trophic amplification. Trophic amplification (or attenuation) describe the propagation of a hydroclimatic signal up the food web, causing magnification (or depression) of biomass values along one or more trophic pathways. We have employed 3-D coupled physical-biogeochemical models to explore ecosystem responses t...
Ecosystem indicators-accounting for variability in species' trophic levels
Reed, Jodie; Shannon, Lynne; VELEZ, Laure; Akoğlu, Ekin; BUNDY, Alida; Coll, Marta; FU, Caihong; FULTON, Elizabeth A.; Gruss, Arnaud; HALOUANI, Ghassen; HEYMANS, Johanna J.; HOULE, Jennifer E.; John, Emma; LE LOC'H, Francois; Salihoğlu, Barış; VERLEY, Philippe; Shin, Yunne-Jai (2017-01-01)
Trophic level (TL)-based indicators are commonly used to track the ecosystem effects of fishing as the selective removal of organisms from the food web may result in changes to the trophic structure of marine ecosystems. The use of a fixed TL per species in the calculation of TL-based indicators has been questioned, given that species' TLs vary with ontogeny, as well as over time and space. We conducted a model-based assessment of the performance of fixed TL-based indicators vs. variable TL-based indicators...
The influence of nutrient loading, climate and water depth on nitrogen and phosphorus loss in shallow lakes: a pan-European mesocosm experiment
Coppens, Jan; Hejzlar, Josef; Sorf, Michal; Jeppesen, Erik; Erdogan, Aeyda; Scharfenberger, Ulrike; Mahdy, Aldoushy; Noges, Peeter; Tuvikene, Arvo; Baho, Didier L.; Trigal, Cristina; Papastergiadou, Eva; Stefanidis, Kostas; Olsen, Saara; Beklioğlu, Meryem (2016-09-01)
Losses of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) have important influences on in-lake concentrations and nutrient loading to downstream ecosystems. We performed a series of mesocosm experiments along a latitudinal gradient from Sweden to Greece to investigate the factors influencing N and P loss under different climatic conditions. In six countries, a standardised mesocosm experiment with two water depths and two nutrient levels was conducted concurrently between May and November 2011. Our results showed external ...
Simulating nutrient uptake dynamics in plankton models: A case study for the cilician basin marine ecosystem
Akoğlu, Ekin (2020-01-01)
The primary productivity in the Cilician Basin is severely constrained by phosphorus limitation due to high N:P ratios in the external nutrient inputs. Therefore, special attention is required when the dynamics of plankton is modelled. Acknowledging that mathematical formulation of nutrient uptake by phytoplankton in ecosystem models is crucial as it determines the degree of realism of the representation of biogeochemical dynamics, a plankton model was developed by utilising two widely adopted approaches; i...
