Schematic of the BEC model
Modified from Doney et al. (2008)
• 5 types of nutrients• Carbonate system• 4 types of phytoplankton(coccolithophores are implicitlyincluded in pico/nano plankton)
• Chlorophyll synthesis• 1 type of zooplankton• 2types of detritus

Ex.) The prognostic equation for pico/nano phytoplankton carbon
Csp, Czoo: pico/nano & zooplankton carbonLlim, Nlim: light & nutrient limitations for pico/nano phyto.Pphysio: physiological parameters
The BEC model represents difference of the functional types byusing the different limiting nutrients, physiological parametersand route of elements

The features of the each functional type of phytoplankton
Pico/nano phytoplankton– light, NO3, NH4, PO4 & Fe limitations
– fixed C/N/P uptake ratio (117/16/1)
– variable Fe/C uptake ratio
– implicitly including coccolithophores
– exporting POM & CaCO3
– efficient nutrient uptake under nutrient limiting conditions
– strong grazing from zooplankton
dominates under nutrient limiting conditions.

The features of the each functional type of phytoplankton
Diatoms– light, NO3, NH4, PO4, Fe & SiO3 limitations
– fixed C/N/P uptake ratio (117/16/1)
– variable Fe/C & Si/C uptake ratios
– exporting POM & biogenic Si
– less grazing from zooplankton
cause blooming under light & nutrient replete conditions.

The features of the each functional type of phytoplankton
Diazotrophs– light, PO4 & Fe limitations
– different C/N/P (329/45/1) (Letelier and Karl, 1996)
– variable Fe/C uptake ratio
– low maximum photosynthesys rate
– no aggregation
– N2 fixation
do not dominate, but important for as bioavailable N producer

Ex.) Simulated variation of carbon biomass for the each functional type
Thus the model simulates temporal & spatialvariaitons of the each plankton

Denitrification & N budget
When [O2] fall below 4uM, nitrate is used forremineralization with
A minimum nitrate concentration (32 uM) whichdenitrification did not occur was set to preventexcessive N inventory drift.
In this calculation, denitrification exceeded N fixation by35 TgN/yr at the last year of the calculation.

Summary
• Since models are developed referring to the metrics based on observed data, precise observational nutrient data will contribute to further model improvement.
• To improve the processes incorporated in models, direct comparison between in situ data with simulated results is important.
