A non-autonomous nutrient-phytoplankton interacting model incorporating the effect of time-varying temperature is established. The impacts of temperature on metabolism of phytoplankton such as nutrient uptake, death rate, and nutrient releasing from particulate nutrient are investigated. The ecological reproductive index is formulated to present a threshold criteria and to characterize the dynamics of phytoplankton.The effect of seasonal temperature and daily temperature on phytoplankton biomass are simulated numerically. Numerical simulation shows that the phytoplankton biomass is very robust to the variation of water temperature. The performance and the adaptability of the model is well assessed by carrying out an application scenario to our field study in Lake Tai in China. The dynamics of the model and model predictions agree well with the experimental data. Our model provides a reasonable explanation of triggering mechanism of phytoplankton bloom.
Keywords:applied mathematics; periodic system; changing temperature; phytoplankton; ecological reproductive index
