The Baltic Sea is heavily affected by eutrophication, with ambitious nutrient load reduction schemes inplace to reduce algal growth and the secondary effects of increased productivity, such as increasedturbidity and the spread of anoxic bottoms. Forcing an Ecosim model of the Central Baltic food web withobserved and predicted productivity trends suggest that changes in primary production channel stronglyinto the pelagic food web, modifying the predation pressure on phytoplankton grazers.To include the feedback of higher trophic levels onto primary producers into simulations, we coupled theFortran version of Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE-F) to the BALTSEM biogeochemical model of the BalticSea. In their coupled code, both models share phytoplankton and detritus components: BALTSEMcalculates phytoplankton growth based on nutrient concentrations and available light; and as a loss term,EwE-F provides predation mortality of phytoplankton that is calculated applying the foraging arena theory.Similarly, EwE-F components produce inputs to BALTSEM sediment and suspended detritus variables,such as non-predation mortality or unassimilated food, and use the BALTSEM detritus variables as a foodresource.Since nutrient turnover within the Baltic pelagic food web is about ten times as large as the riverine inputof nitrogen and phosphorus, small imbalances in simulated nutrient fluxes can generate sources or sinksthat easily reach the magnitude of planned nutrient load reductions. To ensure closed nutrient cycles, wetrack the nutrient intake for each consumer based on fixed prey stoichiometries. We have introducedcompensatory nitrogen and phosphorus fluxes into EwE-F that describe the excretion of nutrients that arenot incorporated into predator growth, and included nutrient limitation functions for EwE-F consumers.Coupling the zero-dimensional EwE-F food web model to the one-dimensional, vertically resolvedBALTSEM biogeochemical model creates vertical fluxes between the BALTSEM depth layers. We willtherefore also discuss strategies to describe the transfer of carbon and nutrients between the food weband the biogeochemical model.

An Investigation on Benefit-Cost Analysis of Greenhouse Structures in Antalya
Sarı, Ramazan; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray (2020-11-12)
Significant population increase across the world, loss of cultivable land and increasing demand for food put pressure on agriculture. To meet the demand, greenhouses are built, which are, light structures with transparent cladding material in order to provide controlled microclimatic environment proper for plant production. Conceptually, greenhouses are similar with manufacturing buildings where a controlled environment for manufacturing and production have been provided and proper spaces...
Investigation of the safe and sustainable yields for the Sandy Complex aquifer system in Ergene River Basin
Ökten, Şebnem; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Department of Geological Engineering (2004)
This study aims to determine the safe and sustainable development and management of groundwater resources in Ergene River Basin located in northwestern Turkey. A numerical groundwater model was developed for the Sandy Complex aquifer, which is the most productive and the most widespread aquifer in the basin. The finite difference model with 5900 cells was used to represent the steady and unsteady flow in the aquifer. The model was calibrated in two steps: a steady state calibration by using the observed gro...
The Impact of climate change on agricultural production in Mediterranean countries
Atay, Mehmet Ufuk; Sarı, Ramazan; Yücel, İsmail; Department of Earth System Science (2015)
The aim of the study is to determine the impact of climate change on agriculture for Mediterranean countries by employing vulnerability and econometric analysis. At first step, a composite agricultural vulnerability index is created by principal component analysis (PCA) for Mediterranean counties and world’s top 35 cereal producer countries. Then, based on index scores, countries are grouped by cluster analysis. Several indicators are selected from different international databases according to three compon...
Analysis of local actors in disaster management through organizational aspect in Turkey
Çelik, Aylin; Ersoy, Melih; Duyguluer, Mehmet Feridun; Department of Earthquake Studies (2015)
The rapid increase in world population, unplanned urbanization and the density in metropolitan regions cause disaster losses to increase. Thus, the structure, extent and organization scheme of disaster management became focal point and should be considered in details along with “disaster risk mitigation” processes, which have changed and developed over last 25 years. The governance concept arisen under the influence of neo liberal policies constitutes one of the trivets of new perception with its participat...
A comparative study of classical and machine learning approaches for time series forecasting: an empirical analysis on exports in Turkey
Günel, Eda; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Department of Statistics (2019)
Exports has become one of the main economic indicator for countries. Accordingly, an accurate forecasting for exports is an important step for decision making and finding the most appropriate forecasting model constitutes the main subject of many studies. By taking the popularity and success of the machine learning (ML) methods on time series forecasting tasks into consideration, they are utilized also in this study to observe their predictive performances on Turkish exports. In this respect, Long Short Ter...
