Abstract

Chinenye Ani used eReefs models to investigate nutrient dynamics and climate change impacts on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). She found that Trichodesmium is a major source of nitrogen in the GBR and improved the physiological realism of the Trichodesmium submodel of eReefs, which simulates Trichodesmium dynamics in the GBR.
