Abstract
Primary production and respiration models were calibrated through parameter estimation methods and applied to an extensive data set on a population dominated by Oscillatoria agardhii. The results demonstrated that inclusion of the frequently used Monod term to represent phosphate limitation deteriorated the model results and caused a negative temperature effect for the primary production rate. This can be attributed to the temperature effect upon the recycling of phosphate and its actual concentration. Inclusion of the production and respiration model in an overall lake do model yielded a good agreement between observed and simulated concentrations.
