H51F:
Multihypothesis Modeling and the Role of Process Representations in Prediction of Ecological and Hydrological Systems II Posters
Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session ID#: 31453
Session Description:
Ecological and hydrological systems are composed of many inter-connected processes. Often, there are multiple competing hypotheses about how these processes operate, how they are inter-connected and thus how they can be represented in computational models. For example, stomatal conductance can be modeled using Jarvis, Leuning or Ball-Berry representations. Multiple hypotheses for multiple system processes can lead to many ways to simulate a given system. Alarmingly when modeling these complex systems, model users and even model developers often do not know the full consequences of the selection of a particular process representation. Software tools and statistical methods are evolving that have the potential to make multi-hypothesis modeling more transparent. Here we invite contributions from those who are imagining, developing and using tools and methods needed to that clearly demonstrate the trade-offs associated with different process representations and to realize more transparent multi-hypothesis modeling of ecological and hydrological systems.
