| Zusammenfassung |
| Societal and scientific challenges foster the implementation of the ecosystem
approach to marine ecosystem analysis and management, which is a
comprehensive means of integrating the direct and indirect effects of
multiple stressors on the different components of ecosystems, from physical
to chemical and biological and from viruses to fishes and marine mammals.
Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) is a widely used software package, which offers
capability for a dynamic description of the multiple interactions occurring
within a food web, and, potentially, a crucial component of an integrated
platform supporting the ecosystem approach. However, being written for the
Microsoft .NET framework, seamless integration of this code with
Fortran-based physical and/or biogeochemical oceanographic models is
technically not straightforward. In this work we release a re-coding of EwE
in Fortran (EwE-F). We believe that the availability of a Fortran version of
EwE is an important step towards setting up coupled/integrated modelling
schemes utilising this widely adopted software because it (i) increases
portability of the EwE models and (ii) provides additional flexibility
towards integrating EwE with Fortran-based modelling schemes. Furthermore,
EwE-F might help modellers using the Fortran programming language to get
close to the EwE approach. In the present work, first fundamentals of EwE-F
are introduced, followed by validation of EwE-F against standard EwE
utilising sample models. Afterwards, an end-to-end (E2E) ecological
representation of the Gulf of Trieste (northern Adriatic Sea) ecosystem is
presented as an example of online two-way coupling between an EwE-F food web
model and a biogeochemical model. Finally, the possibilities that having
EwE-F opens up are discussed. |
