At its core, uncertainty analysis is the process of quantifying the doubt in our model outcomes. In ecology, uncertainty typically stems from three main places: Application of Uncertainty Analysis to Ecologic...
Ignoring uncertainty isn't just a scientific oversight; it's a risk to effective decision-making. When we explicitly account for what we don't know, we gain several advantages:
