Plankton functional type modelling : running before we can walk? (2005, background): “must be fitted quickly surpasses our ability to constrain them properly from observations (Denman, 2003).”
Forming the primary nitrite maximum: Nitrifiers or phytoplankton? (2006, methodology): “Answers to these (and likely many other) questions, reconciliation of inconsistencies between culture and field studies, and a more process-oriented field approach to understanding the processes and controls on NO (2)2 cycling in the ocean are absolutely essential as global ocean models increasingly”
Pelagic functional group modeling: Progress, challenges and prospects (2006, unknown): “…models, these intercomparison studies show that adding complexity and functional groups to ecosystem models and increasing the number of parameters that cannot be constrained with the available data can lead to a decrease in predictive ability (see also Denman, 2003; Anderson and Totterdell, 2004).”
