We’re spotlighting tools, case studies & community-led solutions—inclusive of Indigenous Peoples, local communities, scientists, managers & policymakers.
Let’s transform forest management—together.

We also demonstrated the importance of rapid and integrated validation to judge model quality. "More data" and "more complex calibration" were not ubiquitously best, and the more data-hungry model actually performed worse at predicting simple forest properties.

By integrating data sourcing, data prep., model calibration and prediction/forecasting, validation and visualisation, we were able to more easily transfer and adapt our modeling workflows to new contexts and new data.

Our paper provides demonstrations of how integrated modelling workflows can be developed in R with the aid of the SpaDES suite of R packages, which bring useful tools like caching and automated (spatial and aspatial) data downloading and munging to ecologists
