ecosystem elements with the same forms.
The effects of the nutrient salt concentrations at the initial time of the upwelling
ecosystem formation are shown in Table 4.11 . Variations of nutrient salts from 100
to 400 mg/m 3 and more, practically are displayed only in the beginning of the
ecosystem evolution. The MUE gives a possibility to study different hypothetical
scenarios taking into consideration many situations. For example, Fig. 4.24 char-
acterizes the ecosystem dynamics for absence of predatory elements. In this case,
