In order to use environmental models effectively for management and decision-making, it is
vital to establish an appropriate level of confidence in their performance. This paper reviews …

To enter widespread use, ecosystem service assessments need to be quantifiable,
replicable, credible, flexible, and affordable. With recent growth in the field of ecosystem …

Ever growing understanding of general ecological, biogeochemical and climatic processes
is allowing for the construction of a growing list of end-to-end models. While many of these …

In this paper, we introduce the CSPS framework for the hierarchical assessment of aquatic
ecosystem models built on a range of metrics and characteristic signatures relevant to …

Abstract System-of-systems approaches for integrated assessments have become prevalent
in recent years. Such approaches integrate a variety of models from different disciplines and …

Natural control of invertebrate crop pests has the potential to complement or replace
conventional insecticide-based practices, but its mainstream application is hampered by …

We formulate and analyze an archetypal consumer–resource model in terms of ordinary
differential equations that consistently translates individual life history processes, in …

Current aquatic ecosystem models accommodate increasing amounts of physiological
detail, but marginalize the role of biodiversity by aggregating multitudes of different species …

Numerical modeling has emerged over the last several decades as a widely accepted tool
for investigations in environmental sciences. In estuarine research, hydrodynamic and …

An automated calibration method is proposed and applied to the complex hydro-ecological
model Delft3D-BLOOM which is calibrated from monitoring data of the lake Champs-sur …
