Expanded Simulation Models "Version 3.0" for Growth of the Submerged Aquatic Plants American Wildcelery, Sago Pondweed, Hydrilla, and Eurasian Watermilfoil

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA474511 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This technical note describes modifications of simulation models for growth of four submersed aquatic vegetation SAV types, greatly expanding their application potential. The modifications include descriptions of the vegetation responses to daily changes in current velocity and epiphyte shading, and accommodation of daily changes in water level. These models can be used to evaluate key environmental conditions in which SAV would persist under a variety of management scenarios within the watershed. The models are available as stand-alone versions, and can be used singly and in combination with hydrodynamic and sediment transport models.
