Contaminant risk assessment is generally based on data collected during single species bioassays (including only one species). As a consequence, interactions between species that occur in ecosystems are not taken into account. To investigate the effects of contaminants on interacting species dynamics, this thesis aims at modelling the functioning of a 2-L laboratory microcosm with three species, the daphnid Daphnia magna, the duckweed Lemna minor and the microalgae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, exposed to cadmium contamination. We modelled the dynamics of the three species, their interactions and the effects of cadmium using a mechanistic model based on coupled ordinary differential equations. The main processes occurring in this three-s...
