OMG! 😵‍💫

Nice!

yes; we tried to apply it to the spectrum of work done in our lab, from work on single fungal cultures in Petri dishes, to more regional or global work, and many steps in between.

We were also trying to apply these three cultures to other fields in ecology (outside of predicting the biospheres), and the translation was not so clear. Would be interesting to explore further.

Also discussed if being aware of these 3 'options' could be a source of creativity in one's work...

Fantastic paper, thanks for writing it. What I was wondering was if these three cultures are applicable to the same state of maturity of a field. It seems the variance culture is applicable to an early, exploratory phase of a field, and the other two come later when there is already data.

Who doesn't. 😅

OMG, that is definitely not an attractive deal.
