During the last 10 years, there has been a `revolution' in
ecosystem modelling. The generality and predictive power of our
models have increased in a way that was inconceivable 10 years ago.
This book describes a new generation of practically useful models
that predict as well as one can measure - if one measures well. And
yet, they are driven by readily available driving variables and
have a general structure that applies to most types of pollutants
in aquatic systems. The major reason for this development is, in
fact, the Chernobyl accident. Large quantities of radiocesium were
released in April/May 1986 as a pulse. To follow the pulse of
radiocesium through ecosystem pathways has meant that important
fluxes and mechanisms, i.e., ecosystem structures, have been
revealed. It is important to stress that many of these new
structures and equations are valid not just for radiocesium, but
for most types of contaminants, e.g. for metals, nutrients and
organics. This means that the models, methods (of building and
testing models) and equations described in this book for lakes and
coastal areas should be of great interest also to other ecosystem
modellers. This book will be of considerable interest to: students
in radioecology, geosciences and biology; environmental engineers;
consultants; administrators and scientists interested in the
spread, biouptake and ecosystem effects of chemical pollutants in
aquatic ecosystems.
