Assessing ecological implications of climatic change: can we rely on our simulation models?
Article Abstract:
Simulation models are used to predict the ecological effects of climatic changes on the structure and function of different ecosystems. The accuracy of predictions of climatic change effects is a function of the accuracy of the assumptions of simulation models. Uncertainty regarding these assumptions may be minimized by constantly repeating the process of model development and testing.

Article Abstract:
Errors in a model that discusses the effects of climate change on water resource planning are discussed. Topics include forecasted reservoir yields, and accuracy of other climate change effects models.
