TL;DR: End-to-end modeling is in its early developmental stages and thus presents an opportunity to establish an open-access, community-based approach supported by a suite of true interdisciplinary efforts.

TL;DR: The state-of-the-art in modelling the marine ecosystem of the greater North Sea is reviewed in this article, providing an overview especially about three-dimensional models that describe and predict how marine ecosystem functions and how concentrations and fluxes of biologically important elements vary in space and time, throughout the shelf and over years, in response to physical forcing.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Sino-German cooperative project (AMBOS/AMREB) was carried out to improve the understanding of the nutrient-phytoplankton dynamics with processes and governing factors through observation and modelling.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure and interrelationships of North Sea benthic invertebrate and fish communities and their underlying environmental drivers are analyzed to identify and compare spatial patterns in community structure, and relate these to environmental variables.

TL;DR: In this article, a physical and a biological upper layer model for the stimualtion of the annual cycles of both the physical and the phytoplankton dynamics, are used to estimate the annual primary production in the central North Sea.
