## Gulf of Riga autumn planktonic food web

### Description

Carbon flux matrix of the Gulf of Riga planktonic food web in autumn as reconstructed by inverse modelling by Donali et al. (1999).

The Gulf of Riga is a highly eutrophic system in the Baltic Sea.

The foodweb comprises 7 functional compartments:

- picoautotrophs (P1)

- non-picoautotrophs (P2)

- bacteria (B)

- heterotrophic nanoflagellates (N)

- zooplankton (Z)

- detritus, including virus (D)

- dissolved organic carbon (DOC)

and two external compartments:

- CO2

- Sedimentation

These compartments are connected with 26 flows.

Units of the flows are mg C/m3/day.

### Usage

    Rigaweb

### Format

matrix with flow values, where element ij denotes flow from compartment i to j

rownames and columnames are the components.
