TL;DR: The North Pacific Ecosystem Model for Understanding Regional Oceanography (NEMURO) as discussed by the authors is a lower trophic level ecosystem model for the North Pacific Ocean, which has eleven state variables: nitrate, ammonium, small and large phytoplankton biomass.

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: An approach to dynamically couple a fish bioenergetics-based population dynamics model to the NEMURO lower trophic level nutrient–phytoplankton–zooplankton model for Pacific herring growth and population dynamics is described.

TL;DR: This work reviews recent quantitative modeling studies of planktonic organisms that have been based on the assumption that adaptation of species and acclimation of organisms maximize growth rate and suggests a major challenge remains of how to construct models at the level of organisms that can resolve short-term dynamics, e.g., of phytoplankton blooms.

TL;DR: In this article, a model of the equilibrium speciation, kinetic reaction, and transport of trace metals in the presence of biodegradation of organic substrates in saturated porous media is formulated.
