Abstract

The principles of balance calculation are presented for aquatic ecosystems. The step-by-step building of the balance model are described for subarctic Lake Krivoe (Karelia, western coast of the White Sea), as are the problems arising during calculations and ways to fix them. The significance of the recall ratio and the primary data reliability of major ecosystem components are specified for building a plausible pattern of energy fluxes in the studied ecosystem. The energy balance models are presented for Lake Krivoe for the productive periods of 2003–2005.
