Abstract

Microphytobenthos (MPB) are much less conspicuous than other groups of organisms occupying the benthic photic zone but are ecologically much important due to their roles in benthic-pelagic coupling, nutrient cycling, association with macrophytes and as food source for many benthic as well as pelagic predators. While there have been numerous studies on MPB, modelling studies on its role in benthic-pelagic couple (BPC) and BPC in general has been negligible. Most modelling studies on MPB have focused on its productivity which depends on many factors such as irradiance, tidal wave, sediment texture and so on. The role of MPB in benthicpelagic coupling helps in maintaining the resilience of the ecosystem, in increasing the productivity of the system and also regulating the dynamics of the entire system. The present work is a review article that highlights such modelling studies that have focused on MPB, its role in coupling and their effectiveness in depicting the real system and to suggest a future modelling approach that could be applied to study the aquatic ecosystem as whole including both benthic and pelagic food webs.
