Nutrient dynamics and biomass production in Neva Bay, Gulf of Finland (Baltic Sea), were studied to evaluate eutrophication and possible waste treatment measures in the region of St. Petersburg, Russia. A 3-D ecosystem model illustrates temporal and spatial variation in phytoplankton biomass for dif...
