31 | | When the Ecotracer simulation component is enabled (check box on Ecotracer entry form), Ecosim integrates the rate components listed above to generate time concentration patterns C,,''i'',, (,,''i'',,=0 to number of biomass pools), and time patterns of concentration per biomass C,,''i'',,/B,,''i'',, for all Ecopath/Ecosim biomass pools. These results can be compared to data on bioaccumulation or tracer movement. Discrepancies between model and data may help identify weaknesses in the ecopath/ecosim trophic flow rate (Q,,''ij'',,) estimates, and/or in the Ecotracer rate parameters (u,,''i'',,,e,,''i'',,,d,,''i'',,). |
