Fasham, M. J. R.; Ducklow, H. W.; McKelvie, S. M. (1990). "A nitrogen-based model of plankton dynamics in the oceanic mixed layer". Journal of Marine Research 48: 591–639.

The diagram shows 7 ecosystem components: P, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/phytoplankton" class="extiw" title="en:phytoplankton">phytoplankton</a>; Z, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/zooplankton" class="extiw" title="en:zooplankton">zooplankton</a>; B, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bacteria" class="extiw" title="en:bacteria">bacteria</a>; D, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/detritus" class="extiw" title="en:detritus">detritus</a>; Nn, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/nitrate" class="extiw" title="en:nitrate">nitrate</a>; Nr, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ammonium" class="extiw" title="en:ammonium">ammonium</a>; Nd, dissolved organic nitrogen. The connecting arrows indicate flows of material between these components driven by processes such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/primary_production" class="extiw" title="en:primary production">primary production</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/grazing" class="extiw" title="en:grazing">grazing</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/remineralisation" class="extiw" title="en:remineralisation">remineralisation</a>. Closed-headed arrows indicate flows of material that remain within the model ecosystem; open-headed arrows indicate flows of material out of the modelled domain, for instance below the ocean's upper mixed layer.
