Abstract The development of a mathematical model for calculating the spatial distribution and temporal variation in Cladophora biomass and selected forms of phosphorus at a site on Lake Huron is described. The model is intended for use in evaluating the utility of various phosphorus management strategies in reducing the nuisance growth of Cladophora in the Great Lakes. The model is composed of a transport component which accounts for bulk transfer and exchange of phosphorus within the system and a kinetic component which describes chemical and biological reactions. The kinetic component includes the effects of light, temperature, and internal phosphorus levels on Cladophora growth rate, aspects of phosphorus uptake, and the impact of sloughing and self-shading on standing crop. The numerical value of coefficients associated with kinetic equations have been independently determined through laboratory studies. The model has been calibrated to a data set collected in the vicinity of the Harbor Beach, Michigan, wastewater treatment plant. (Copyright (c) Internat. Assoc. Great Lakes Res., 1982.)
