Contents Notes |
A numerical dissolved oxygen (D.O.) routing model DORM is developed to determine total stream community photosynthesis (P) and community respiration rates (R) through successive routing of two-station die! D.O. measurements in a stream. The model differs from existing procedures for die! curve productivity analysis in that it uses the complete D.O. transport equation, including D.O. surface exchange, longitudinal dispersion, dependence of respiratory rates on water temperature and D.O. The model is applied to the experimental field channels at the US EPA Monticello Ecological Research Station to compute P and R values at different seasons and under different water temperature, solar radiation, and pH conditions. A sensitivity analysis shows that computed P and R values are most sensitive to residence times and surface oxygen exchange, (reaeration) coefficients. New equations for surface exchange, including the effect of wind, have been developed and summarized. Hysteresis in plots of hourly P versus photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) intensity was observed frequently. It was of such magnitude that it could not be caused by errors in surface exchange estimates or other physical processes. |
