EEMS allows users to simulate an unlimited number of algal and macrophyte groups, with each group assigned different parameters such as half-saturation constants and uptake rates for nutrients according to the aquatic ecosystem model. To open the Macrophyte and Algae Options frame, RMC on the Biota under Water Quality Model Control (Figure 1). In the Macrophyte and Algae Options frame, the algae and macrophyte parameters are classified flowing its kinetics processes in each sub-tab.
...
In the General tab (Figure 2), users can define the number of algae and macrophyte group simulating in the model. Users can also input the name and different general parameters for each group.
If an algal group is defined as a macrophyte, the Is Mobile box needs to be unchecked. The Fixed Biota subtab will be displayed and allow users to modify additional parameters and options for modeling of the macrophyte.
...
The feedback of macrophyte growth and its density on the hydrodynamics is also optionally considered by checking the box Use Feedback to the Hydrodynamics in Hydrodynamic Feedback section frame.
