The need for a catchment-scale approach to freshwater ecosystem management is recognised by the EU Water Framework Directive, where the basic unit of management is referred to as the river basin district (European Commission, 2000). The complexity of the interactions between aquatic and terrestrial systems at the catchment scale necessitates a modelling approach also at the catchment scale. With respect to climate change, existing or new models need development to represent climate, soil, land use, lakes, rivers and coastal waters, so that the responses of whole catchment systems can be simulated and the models used to assess the impacts of alternative catchment management decisions.

The addition of phosphorus to a terrestrial ecosystem increases the biomass of plants and, ultimately, decreases the number of species. Although ecosystems managed for plant yield, such as agriculture and forestry, reap economic benefits from added phosphorus, natural ecosystems generally suffer an undesirable change in plant and animal communities. 

In contrast, their multifunction of movement of both sample were decreased the propagation velocity of wave height and length of ripples. Then, POM behavior with ripples was modeled. The proposed model will affect other aspects in ecosystem management based on fluvial processes.

Carbon is the major basic element that is the building block of polymeric materials biobased products, petroleum based products, biotechnology products, fuels, even life itself. Therefore, discussions on sustainability, sustainable development, environmental responsibility centers on the issue of managing carbon (carbon based materials) in a sustainable and environmentally responsible manner. Natural ecosystems manages carbon through its biological carbon cycle, and so it makes sense to review how carbon based polymeric materials fit into nature s carbon cycle and address any issues that may arise.
