Abstract
The second Nansen Legacy workshop on best practices for ecological model evaluation, chaired by Benjamin Planque (IMR) was held at the University of Oslo on the 23-25th September 2019. The objective of the workshop was to develop a protocol for describing the evaluation of ecological models.
Highlights
The workshop started with a test of the evaluation protocol, drafted during the first workshop in 2018
The evaluation protocol was applied to specific applications of six ecological models (Gomperz, Norwecom, Atlantis, Non Deterministic Network Dynamics (NDND), EwE and NorCPM/ESM)
Workshop participants engaged into open discussions about the efficacy of the protocol, how well it could be understood, and how comprehensive it was
Summary
The second Nansen Legacy workshop on best practices for ecological model evaluation, chaired by Benjamin Planque (IMR) was held at the University of Oslo on the 23-25th September 2019. The objective of the workshop was to develop a protocol for describing the evaluation of ecological models. The workshop started with a test of the evaluation protocol, drafted during the first workshop in 2018. For this purpose, the evaluation protocol was applied to specific applications of six ecological models (Gomperz, Norwecom, Atlantis, NDND, EwE and NorCPM/ESM). The workshop continued with group work, during which the different sections of the protocol were revised. These were reviewed and commented in plenary, revised again, and discuss in plenary again. The standard protocol for describing the evaluation of ecological models contains three main sections: Overview, Patterns and Evaluation, which are sub-divided in subsections. The draft will serve as a basis for a manuscript which is expected to be submitted in 2020
