## Introduction
This document aims at verifying the implementation of the *Lemna*
toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic (TKTD) model as described by *Klein et al.* (2022).
The model is a refined description of the *Lemna* TKTD model based on
*Schmitt et al. (2013)*.
First, this model's output is compared to published results which were created
with the reference implementation of the *Schmitt et al.* model. For unlimited growth
scenarios, both models are expected to yield identical results for identical
inputs. Second, model dynamics are compared for additional scenarios which simulate
changing environmental conditions, such as under field study conditions. In this
case, the models are not expected to yield identical but equivalent behavior
due to differences between the models' response functions.
## Schmitt et al. model
The outputs of the *Lemna* TKTD model by *Schmitt et al.* are used to verify
the implementation of the *Klein et al.* model.
The reference implementation of *Schmitt et al.* is included in
this package's GitHub repository but is not an official part of the package.
Sourcing files `mmc2.r` and `mmc3.r` gives access to the *Schmitt et al.* model
equations as well as to the fitted parameter set for the substance *metsulfuron-methyl*.

## Unlimited growth scenarios
This section simulates several *Lemna* growth scenarios under unlimited growth
conditions using the *Klein et al.* model. Model dynamics and numerical results
are compared to results of the *Schmitt et al.* model.
### Seven days exposure, seven days recovery
Figure 2 in *Schmitt et al.* (2013) presents several scenarios which simulate the
growth of *Lemna* exposed to several concentrations of *metsulfuron-methyl*.
Exposure lasts for seven days, followed by a seven day recovery period. Symbols
show observed data and lines as calculated with fitted model parameters.
``` r
# simulate the 7d exposure, 7d recovery experiment
simulate_7d <- function(model=c("schmitt","klein"), ...) {
model <- match.arg(model)
time <- seq(0, 14, 0.2) # output time points
levels <- c(0, 0.32, 0.56, 1, 1.8, 3.2, 5.6) # simulated exposure levels
# set parameters as needed to replicate Figure 2 from Schmitt et al.
if(model == "schmitt") {
param$k_phot_fix <- TRUE # unlimited growth
param$k_phot_max <- 0.4
param$k_resp <- 0
} else if(model == "klein") {
param <- metsulfuron$param
param$k_photo_fixed <- TRUE
param$k_photo_max <- 0.4
param$k_loss <- 0
envir <- metsulfuron$envir
}
result <- data.frame()
for(conc in levels) {
exposure <- data.frame(time=c(0, 7, 7.01, 14), c=c(conc, conc, 0, 0))
if(model == "schmitt") {
param$Conc <- exposure
out <- calcgrowth(time, c(BM=0.0012, E=1, M_int=0), param=param, ...)
} else if(model == "klein") {
envir$conc <- exposure
out <- lemna(times=time, init=c(BM=0.0012, M_int=0), param=param, envir=envir, ode_mode="c", ...)
}
out$level = as.character(conc)
result <- bind_rows(result, out)
}
result
}

```
The depicted model dynamics of the *Schmitt et al.* are identical to published
results. Simulating the same scenarios using the *Klein et al.* model yields
identical dynamics:
``` r
# simulate using the Klein et al. model
df_k <- simulate_7d(model="klein")
# recreate figure 2 from paper, including observed data
ggplot(df_k)+
geom_line(aes(time,FrondNo,color=level))+

coord_cartesian(ylim=c(10,10000))+
geom_vline(xintercept=7, linetype="dotted", color="#888888", size=1)+
geom_segment(x=0,y=10000,xend=6.9,yend=10000,arrow=arrow(length=unit(0.3,"cm"),type="closed"),linejoin="mitre",size=1,color="#888888")+
geom_segment(x=7.1,y=10000,xend=14,yend=10000,arrow=arrow(length=unit(0.3,"cm"),type="closed"),linejoin="mitre",size=1,color="#888888")+
geom_text(x=3.5,y=8000,label="Exposure",hjust="middle",color="#888888")+
geom_text(x=10.5,y=8000,label="Recovery",hjust="middle",color="#888888")+
theme_bw()+
labs(x="Time (days)", y="Number of Fronds", color="Conc. (ug/L)",
title="Klein et al. model: 7d exposure, 7d recovery")
```
A comparison of numerical values between the two models shows that simulated
biomass deviates at most by 0.15%. A plot of relative errors describes small
but consistent deviations in biomass results:
``` r
df_s %>%
mutate(error = 100 * (df_k$BM/BM - 1)) %>%
ggplot(aes(time, error, color=level)) +
geom_point() +
theme_bw() +
labs(x="Time (days)", y="Relative error (%)", color="Conc. (ug/L)",
title="Deviation in biomass in Klein model relative to Schmitt")
```
The deviations are a result of imprecisions introduced by the numerical ODE solver.
Numerical precision can be increased by, for example, decreasing the solver's
step length in time. This can be achieved by decreasing the solver parameter `hmax`
from the model's default value of `hmax=0.1` to e.g. `hmax=0.01`. The value of `0.01`
is equivalent to a step length of about 15 minutes. This decreases the observed deviations
significantly to a maximum of about 0.007%:
``` r
df_s <- simulate_7d(model="schmitt", hmax=0.01)
df_k <- simulate_7d(model="klein", hmax=0.01)
df_s %>%
mutate(error = 100 * (df_k$BM/BM - 1)) %>%
ggplot(aes(time, error, color=level)) +
geom_point() +
theme_bw() +
labs(x="Time (days)", y="Relative error (%)", color="Conc. (ug/L)",
title="Deviation in biomass in Klein model relative to Schmitt, hmax=0.01")
```
It can be concluded that model dynamics and numerical results are identical
as far as numerical precision allows.
### Two days of exposure, twelve days of recovery
The right-hand side of Figure 3 in *Hommen et al.* (2015) presents additional
scenarios which simulate the growth of *Lemna* exposed to several concentrations
of *metsulfuron-methyl*. Exposure lasts for two days, followed by a twelve day
recovery period. Symbols show observed data and lines as calculated with fitted
model parameters:
``` r
# simulate the 2d exposure, 12d recovery experiment
simulate_2d <- function(model=c("schmitt","klein"), ...) {
model <- match.arg(model)
time <- seq(0, 14, 0.2) # output time points
levels <- c(0, 0.35, 0.875, 1.75, 3.5) # simulated exposure levels
# set parameters as needed to replicate Figure 3 from Hommen et al.
if(model == "schmitt") {
param$k_phot_fix <- TRUE # unlimited growth
param$k_phot_max <- 0.295
param$k_resp <- 0.00
param$mass_per_frond <- 0.0004
} else if(model == "klein") {
param <- metsulfuron$param
param$k_photo_fixed <- TRUE
param$k_photo_max <- 0.295
param$k_loss <- 0
param$r_DW_FN <- 0.0004
envir <- metsulfuron$envir
}
result <- data.frame()
for(conc in levels) {
exposure <- data.frame(time=c(0, 2, 2.01, 14), c=c(conc, conc, 0, 0))
if(model == "schmitt") {
param$Conc <- exposure
out <- calcgrowth(time, c(BM=12 * param$mass_per_frond, E=1, M_int=0), param=param, ...)
} else if(model == "klein") {
envir$conc <- exposure
out <- lemna(times=time, init=c(BM=12 * param$r_DW_FN, M_int=0), param=param, envir=envir, ode_mode="c", ...)
}
out$level = as.character(conc)
result <- bind_rows(result, out)
}
result
}
# simulate using the Klein et al. model
df_k <- simulate_2d(model="klein")
# recreate figure 3 from paper, including observed data
ggplot(df_k)+

```
Observed model dynamics of the *Klein et al.* model are identical to published results
and fit equally well with the observed frond numbers reported by *Hommen et al.*
A comparison of numerical values of simulated biomass yields:
``` r
# simulate using the Schmitt et al. model
df_s <- simulate_2d(model="schmitt", hmax=0.01)
# simulate using the Klein et al. model
df_k <- simulate_2d(model="klein", hmax=0.01)
# calculate relative
df_s %>%
mutate(error = 100 * (df_k$BM/BM - 1)) %>%
pull(error) %>%
abs() %>%
max()
#> [1] 0.004476714
```
Numerical biomass values deviate at most by about 0.004% between the two models.
It can be concluded that model dynamics and numerical results of both models
are identical for the presented scenarios.
### Complex exposure patterns
Figure 4 in *Schmitt et al.* (2013) depicts the growth of *Lemna* exposed to
three exposure patterns of several different concentrations. The patterns include
constant exposure, repeating intervals of four days out of seven of exposure,
as well as repeating intervals of two days out of seven of exposure.
First, the constant exposure pattern (Figure 4a) is simulated:
``` r
# simulate a specific exposure pattern
simulate_pattern <- function(model=c("schmitt","klein"), levels, expo_fun, ...) {
model <- match.arg(model)
time <- seq(0, 50, 0.2) # output time points
# set parameters as needed to replicate Figure 2 from Schmitt et al.
if(model == "schmitt") {
param$k_phot_fix <- TRUE # unlimited growth
param$k_phot_max <- 0.295
param$EC50 <- 0.39
param$k_resp <- 0
} else if(model == "klein") {
param <- metsulfuron$param
param$k_photo_fixed <- TRUE
param$k_photo_max <- 0.295
param$EC50_int <- 0.39
param$k_loss <- 0
envir <- metsulfuron$envir
}
result <- data.frame()
for(conc in levels) {
exposure <- expo_fun(conc)
if(model == "schmitt") {
param$Conc <- exposure
out <- calcgrowth(time, c(BM=0.0006, E=1, M_int=0), param=param, hmax=0.01)
out$Area <- out$BM * param$AperBM
} else if(model == "klein") {
envir$conc <- exposure
out <- lemna(times=time, init=c(BM=0.0006, M_int=0), param=param, envir=envir, hmax=0.01, ode_mode="c")
out$Area <- out$BM * param$r_A_DW
}
out$level = as.character(conc)
result <- bind_rows(result, out)
}
result
}
# constant exposure
expo_const <- function(conc=1) {
data.frame(time=c(0, 50), c=c(conc, conc))
}
# exposure concentrations used for constant patterns
levels_const <- c(0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1)
# simulate constant exposure patterns
df_p1 <- simulate_pattern(model="klein", levels=levels_const, expo_fun=expo_const)
ggplot(df_p1)+
geom_line(aes(time,Area,color=level))+
scale_y_log10(breaks=10^seq(-1,7),minor_breaks=NULL)+
scale_x_continuous(breaks=seq(0,50,10))+
scale_shape_manual(values=c(0,4,2,8,1,3,5))+
coord_cartesian(ylim=c(0.1,10^7))+
theme_bw()+
labs(x="Time (days)", y="Frond area (cm²)", color="Conc. (ug/L)",
title="Klein et al. model: constant exposure")
```
Next, the four out of seven days exposure pattern (Figure 4b) is simulated:
``` r
# exposure pattern: repeats 4d exposure, 3d recovery for 42 days,
# followed by recovery for 8 days
expo_4of7 <- function(conc=1) {
tim <- c(0, 4, 4.01, 6.99)
exp <- c(conc, conc, 0, 0)
tim_all <- c()
exp_all <- c()
for(i in seq(0,35, 7)) {
tim_all <- c(tim_all, tim+i)
exp_all <- c(exp_all, exp)
}
data.frame("time"=c(tim_all, 50), "conc"=c(exp_all, 0))
}
# exposure concentrations used for 4 out of 7d patterns
levels_4of7 <- c(0, 0.175, 0.438, 0.875, 1.75)
df_p2 <- simulate_pattern(model="klein", levels=levels_4of7, expo_fun=expo_4of7)
ggplot(df_p2)+
geom_line(aes(time,Area,color=level))+
scale_y_log10(breaks=10^seq(-1,7),minor_breaks=NULL)+
scale_x_continuous(breaks=seq(0,50,10))+
scale_shape_manual(values=c(0,4,2,8,1,3,5))+
coord_cartesian(ylim=c(0.1,10^7))+
theme_bw()+
labs(x="Time (days)", y="Frond area (cm²)", color="Conc. (ug/L)",
title="Klein et al. model: 4 out of 7d of exposure")
```
Finally, the two out of seven days exposure pattern (Figure 4c) is simulated:
``` r
# exposure pattern: repeats 2d exposure, 5d recovery for 42 days,
# followed by recovery for 8 days
expo_2of7 <- function(conc=1) {
tim <- c(0, 2, 2.01, 6.99)
exp <- c(conc, conc, 0, 0)
tim_all <- c()
exp_all <- c()
for(i in seq(0,35, 7)) {
tim_all <- c(tim_all, tim+i)
exp_all <- c(exp_all, exp)
}
data.frame("time"=c(tim_all, 50), "conc"=c(exp_all, 0))
}
# exposure concentrations used for 2 out of 7d patterns
levels_2of7 <- c(0, 0.35, 0.875, 1.75, 3.5)
df_p3 <- simulate_pattern(model="klein", levels=levels_2of7, expo_fun=expo_2of7)
ggplot(df_p3)+
geom_line(aes(time,Area,color=level))+
scale_y_log10(breaks=10^seq(-1,7),minor_breaks=NULL)+
scale_x_continuous(breaks=seq(0,50,10))+
scale_shape_manual(values=c(0,4,2,8,1,3,5))+
coord_cartesian(ylim=c(0.1,10^7))+
theme_bw()+
labs(x="Time (days)", y="Frond area (cm²)", color="Conc. (ug/L)",
title="Klein et al. model: 2 out of 7d of exposure")
```
Comparing numerical results of the *Klein et al.* model with the *Schmitt et al.* implementation
yields the following relative errors in percent:
``` r
# relative error (%) for the constant exposure pattern
simulate_pattern(model="schmitt", levels=levels_const, expo_fun=expo_const) %>%
mutate(error = 100 * (df_p1$BM/BM - 1)) %>%
pull(error) %>%
abs() %>%
max()
#> [1] 0.0005302434
# relative error (%) for the 4 out of 7d exposure pattern
simulate_pattern(model="schmitt", levels=levels_4of7, expo_fun=expo_4of7) %>%
mutate(error = 100 * (df_p2$BM/BM - 1)) %>%
pull(error) %>%
abs() %>%
max()
#> [1] 0.03496461
# relative error (%) for the 2 out of 7d exposure pattern
simulate_pattern(model="schmitt", levels=levels_2of7, expo_fun=expo_2of7) %>%
mutate(error = 100 * (df_p3$BM/BM - 1)) %>%
pull(error) %>%
abs() %>%
max()
#> [1] 0.02197463
```
It can be observed that the *Klein et al.* model reproduces the same model dynamics
and biomass amounts as reported by *Schmitt et al.* under unlimited growth conditions.
## Environmental variability scenarios
In this section, simulated biomass dynamics of the *Klein et al.* model are
compared to published results under conditions of changing environmental
variables. In contrast to the *Schmitt et al.* model, it applies Liebig’s Law so
that growth is controlled by the most limiting resource, i.e. the limiting factor.
The environmental variables temperature, global radiation, phosphorus, and nitrate
are considered for Liebig’s law (Klein *et al.* 2015).
The following graphs will replicate Figure 5 from *Hommen et al.* (2015). The
simulations make use of exposure time series and time series of
environmental variables that were extracted from the three FOCUS Surface Water
exposure scenarios *D1 Ditch*, *D2 Ditch*, and *R3 Stream*. Substance specific
parameters follow the fitted parameters reported by *Schmitt et al.* (2013).
### FOCUS D1 Ditch
The following code simulates *Lemna* population growth for the example FOCUS
exposure pattern D1 Ditch multiplied by factors from 1 to 100:
``` r
library(tidyr) # for additional data preparation
library(furrr) # for multi-threading capabilities
# enable multithreading to reduce processing time
future::plan("multisession")
rainbow_plot <- function(df, exposure, scale_f, title) {
df$factor <- factor(as.character(df$factor), levels=as.character(unique(sort(df$factor))))
# scale exposure concentration to make it visible in plot
df_expo <- exposure %>% mutate(Conc = Conc * scale_f)
# do not plot control
df_plot <- df %>% filter(factor != "0")
# create rainbow plot
ggplot(df_plot)+
geom_line(aes(time, BM, color=factor))+
geom_line(aes(Time,Conc), data=df_expo, color="black")+
scale_color_manual(values=rev(RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(11, "Spectral")))+
scale_y_continuous(breaks=seq(0,200,20))+
scale_x_continuous(breaks=seq(0,390,30))+
coord_cartesian(ylim=c(0,180),expand=FALSE)+
theme_bw()+
labs(x="Time (days)", y="Dry biomass (g dw/m2)", title=title)
}
simulate_focus <- function(scale_f, model, scenario) {
if(model == "schmitt") {
param$k_phot_fix <- FALSE
param$mass_per_frond <- 0.0004
param$Conc <- scenario$envir$conc
param$Conc$Conc <- param$Conc$Conc * scale_f
param$Temp <- scenario$envir$tmp
param$Rad <- scenario$envir$irr
res <- calcgrowth(scenario$times, c(BM=scenario$init[["BM"]], E=1, M_int=0), param, hmax=0.01)
} else if(model == "klein") {
envir <- scenario$envir
envir$conc$Conc <- envir$conc$Conc * scale_f
res <- lemna(scenario, envir=envir, nout=0, hmax=0.01, ode_mode="c")
}
res$factor <- scale_f
res
}
# multiplication factors for the exposure series
factors <- c(0, round(10^seq(0,2,0.2), 1))
# simulate using the Schmitt et al. model
df_s <- future_map_dfr(factors, simulate_focus, model="schmitt", scenario=focusd1)
rainbow_plot(df_s, focusd1$envir$conc, 2000, "D1 Ditch: Schmitt et al. model, L. gibba")
```
``` r
# simulate using the Klein et al. model
df_k <- future_map_dfr(factors, simulate_focus, model="klein", scenario=focusd1)
rainbow_plot(df_k, focusd1$envir$conc, 2000, "D1 Ditch: Klein et al. model, L. gibba")
```
It can be observed that the *Klein et al.* model generates biomass dynamics that
are very similar to the *Schmitt et al.* results. Comparing biomass
values for each time point and multiplication factor yields the following
graph:
``` r
bm_dev_plot <- function(res_klein, res_schmitt, title) {
fs <- unique(res_klein$factor)
res_schmitt %>%
mutate(error = 100 * (res_klein$BM/BM - 1)) %>%
ggplot(aes(time, error, color=factor)) +
geom_point() +
scale_color_manual(values=setNames(c("black",rev(RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(length(fs) - 1, "Spectral"))), fs)) +
scale_x_continuous(breaks=seq(0,390,30)) +
theme_bw() +
labs(x="Time (days)", y="Relative error (%)", color="Factor",
title=paste0(title, ": Deviation of biomass in Klein model relative to Schmitt"))
}
bm_dev_plot(df_k, df_s, "D1 Ditch")
#> Error in `scale_color_manual()`:
#> ! Continuous values supplied to discrete scale.
#> ℹ Example values: 0, 0, 0, 0, and 0
```
For D1 Ditch, the *Klein et al.* model shows a trend to a slightly larger biomass
over the course of the simulated year. Achieved biomass levels are nevertheless very
similar in both models. The perceived differences seem to originate from the fact
that model results are slightly shifted in time. This observation can be explained
by the photosynthesis response function of the *Klein et al.* model, where growth
is controlled by the most limiting factor. Unlike the *Schmitt et al.* model,
where all response functions are multiplied. This allows the population to react
quicker to changing environmental conditions and achieve slightly larger biomass
in the *Klein et al.* model. Generally, both models generate
similar growth dynamics.
The following table reproduces Table 2 from *Hommen et al.* (2015). It lists the number
of days with deviations from controls exceeding different magnitudes (% dev)
depending on the exposure multiplication factor in the D1 Ditch scenario:
``` r
df_k %>%
pivot_wider(id_cols=time, names_from=factor, values_from=BM) -> df.wide
# table of days with deviations
(100*abs(1 - df.wide[-c(1,2)]/df.wide[,c(rep(2,11))])) %>%
pivot_longer(1:11, names_to="factor", values_to="dev") %>%
group_by(factor) %>%
summarize(gt1=sum(dev>1),gt5=sum(dev>5),gt10=sum(dev>10),gt20=sum(dev>20),
gt30=sum(dev>30),gt40=sum(dev>40),gt50=sum(dev>50),gt60=sum(dev>60),
gt70=sum(dev>70),gt80=sum(dev>80),gt90=sum(dev>90)) %>%
arrange(as.numeric(factor)) %>%
pivot_longer(cols=2:11, names_to="class", values_to="count") %>%
pivot_wider(id_cols=class, names_from=factor, values_from=count) %>%
mutate(class = paste0("> ",substring(class, 3))) %>%
rename(`% dev`=class) %>%
knitr::kable()
```
|% dev | 1| 1.6| 2.5| 4| 6.3| 10| 15.8| 25.1| 39.8| 63.1| 100|
|:-----|--:|---:|---:|--:|---:|--:|----:|----:|----:|----:|---:|
|> 1 | 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 2| 8| 9| 10| 10|

Predictions of the *Klein et al.* model are again very similar to the results
reported by *Hommen et al.* (2015). The number of days with deviations do appear
to have a small trend to lower numbers compared to the results of the *Schmitt et
al.* model. As an example: for a multiplication factor of 4, 47 days experience
a deviation in biomass of at least 1% compared to 50 days as reported
by *Hommen et al.*
### FOCUS D2 Ditch
Simulating *Lemna* population growth for the example FOCUS exposure pattern D2 Ditch
multiplied by factors from 1 to 100:
``` r
# simulate using the Schmitt et al. model
df_s <- future_map_dfr(factors, simulate_focus, model="schmitt", scenario=focusd2)
rainbow_plot(df_s, focusd2$envir$conc, 100, "D2 Ditch: Schmitt et al. model, L. gibba")
```
``` r
# simulate using the Klein et al. model
df_k <- future_map_dfr(factors, simulate_focus, model="klein", scenario=focusd2)
rainbow_plot(df_k, focusd2$envir$conc, 100, "D2 Ditch: Klein et al. model, L. gibba")
```
``` r
bm_dev_plot(df_k, df_s, "D2 Ditch")
#> Error in `scale_color_manual()`:
#> ! Continuous values supplied to discrete scale.
#> ℹ Example values: 0, 0, 0, 0, and 0
```
Biomass dynamics and absolute numbers are again very similar to the behavior
reported by *Hommen et al.* (2015). Generally, the *Klein et al.* model shows
a trend towards temporary larger biomass values which can be explained by the model
reacting quicker to changes in environmental variables. Biomass levels at the end
of the simulated year are slightly
lower for low and moderate exposure levels than predictions of the *Schmitt et al.*
model.
### FOCUS R3 Stream
Simulating *Lemna* population growth for the example FOCUS exposure pattern R3 Stream
multiplied by factors from 1 to 1000:
``` r
# multiplication factors for the exposure series
factors <- c(0, round(10^seq(0,3,0.3), 1))
# simulate using the Schmitt et al. model
df_s <- future_map_dfr(factors, simulate_focus, model="schmitt", scenario=focusr3)
rainbow_plot(df_s, focusr3$envir$conc, 1000, "R3 Stream: Schmitt et al. model, L. gibba")
```
``` r
# simulate using the Klein et al. model
df_k <- future_map_dfr(factors, simulate_focus, model="klein", scenario=focusr3)
rainbow_plot(df_k, focusr3$envir$conc, 1000, "R3 Stream: Klein et al. model, L. gibba")
```
``` r
bm_dev_plot(df_k, df_s, "R3 Stream")
#> Error in `scale_color_manual()`:
#> ! Continuous values supplied to discrete scale.
#> ℹ Example values: 0, 0, 0, 0, and 0
# disable multithreading
future::plan("sequential")
```
Again, biomass dynamics and absolute numbers are very similar to the behavior
reported by *Hommen et al.* (2015) with a small trend towards a larger biomass
in the *Klein et al.* model.
## Compiled code
Model equations implemented as compiled code in *C* are not part of this
verification document for reasons of brevity. However, results of the *C* code are
identical as far as numerical precision allows. This is ensured by automated
unit tests which are shipped as part of the *lemna* source package. The suite
of verification tests can be run manually by:
``` r
devtools::test(pkg="lemna", filter="verify")
```
