Ems‐Dollard ecosystem model to study changing turbidity and higher trophic level response

The report contains model characteristics: model set‐up, assumptions, collection and elaboration of quantity and quality of inflow from tributaries, simulation results and a single scenario on reduced suspended matter content in a part of the system. An extensive literature review on the effect of (high) silt concentrations in the water column on filter feeders gives a lot of information on how to model this relationship. Far from all results could be implemented now, but these are worth to process in a next step of the model construction.
