Compare EMs
Which comparison is best for me?EM Variables by Variable Role
One quick way to compare ecological models (EMs) is by comparing their variables. Predictor variables show what kinds of influences a model is able to account for, and what kinds of data it requires. Response variables show what information a model is capable of estimating.
This first comparison shows the names (and units) of each EM’s variables, side-by-side, sorted by variable role. Variable roles in ESML are as follows:
- Predictor Variables
- Time- or Space-Varying Variables
- Constants and Parameters
- Intermediate (Computed) Variables
- Response Variables
- Computed Response Variables
- Measured Response Variables
EM Variables by Category
A second way to use variables to compare EMs is by focusing on the kind of information each variable represents. The top-level categories in the ESML Variable Classification Hierarchy are as follows:
- Policy Regarding Use or Management of Ecosystem Resources
- Land Surface (or Water Body Bed) Cover, Use or Substrate
- Human Demographic Data
- Human-Produced Stressor or Enhancer of Ecosystem Goods and Services Production
- Ecosystem Attributes and Potential Supply of Ecosystem Goods and Services
- Non-monetary Indicators of Human Demand, Use or Benefit of Ecosystem Goods and Services
- Monetary Values
Besides understanding model similarities, sorting the variables for each EM by these 7 categories makes it easier to see if the compared models can be linked using similar variables. For example, if one model estimates an ecosystem attribute (in Category 5), such as water clarity, as a response variable, and a second model uses a similar attribute (also in Category 5) as a predictor of recreational use, the two models can potentially be used in tandem. This comparison makes it easier to spot potential model linkages.
All EM Descriptors
This selection allows a more detailed comparison of EMs by model characteristics other than their variables. The 50-or-so EM descriptors for each model are presented, side-by-side, in the following categories:
- EM Identity and Description
- EM Modeling Approach
- EM Locations, Environments, Ecology
- EM Ecosystem Goods and Services (EGS) potentially modeled, by classification system
EM Descriptors by Modeling Concepts
This feature guides the user through the use of the following seven concepts for comparing and selecting EMs:
- Conceptual Model
- Modeling Objective
- Modeling Context
- Potential for Model Linkage
- Feasibility of Model Use
- Model Certainty
- Model Structural Information
Though presented separately, these concepts are interdependent, and information presented under one concept may have relevance to other concepts as well.

ABSTRACT: "Here, we propose a new approach for the analysis, mapping and understanding of multiple ES delivery in landscapes. Spatially explicit single ES models based on plant traits and abiotic characteristics are combined to identify ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ spots of multiple ES delivery, and the land use and biotic determinants of such distributions. We demonstrate the value of this trait-based approach as compared to a pure land-use approach for a pastoral landscape from the central French Alps, and highlight how it improves understanding of ecological constraints to, and opportunities for, the delivery of multiple services." AUTHOR'S DESCRIPTION: "Simpson species diversity was modelled using the LU + abiotic [land use and all abiotic variables] model given that functional diversity should be a consequence of species diversity rather than the reverse (Lepsˇ et al. 2006)…Species diversity for each pixel was calculated and mapped using model estimates for effects of land use types, and for regression coefficients on abiotic variables. For each pixel these calculations were applied to mapped estimates of abiotic variables." | ABSTRACT: "The development of a mathematical model for predicting rate of fire spread and intensity applicable to a wide range of wildland fuels is presented from the conceptual stage through evaluation and demonstration of results to hypothetical fuel models. The model was developed for and is now being used as a basis for appraising fire spread and intensity in the National Fire Danger Rating System. The initial work was done using fuel arrays composed of uniform size particles. Three fuel sizes were tested over a wide range of bulk densities. These were 0.026-inch-square cut excelsior, 114-inch sticks, and 112-inch sticks. The problem of mixed fuel sizes was then resolved by weighting the various particle sizes that compose actual fuel arrays by either surface area or loading, depending upon the feature of the fire being predicted. The model is complete in the sense that no prior knowledge of a fuel's burning characteristics is required. All that is necessary are inputs describing the physical and chemical makeup of the fuel and the environmental conditions in which it is expected to burn. Inputs include fuel loading, fuel depth, fuel particle surface-area-to-volume ratio, fuel particle heat content, fuel particle moisture and mineral content, and the moisture content at which extinction can be expected. Environmental inputs are mean wind velocity and slope of terrain. For heterogeneous mixtures, the fuel properties are entered for each particle size. The model as originally conceived was for dead fuels in a uniform stratum contiguous to the ground, such as litter or grass. It has been found to be useful, however, for fuels ranging from pine needle litter to heavy logging slash and for California brush fields." **FARSITE4 will no longer be supported or available for download or further supported. FlamMap6 now includes FARSITE.** | Please note: This ESML entry describes a specific, published application of an InVEST model. Different versions (e.g. different tiers) or more recent versions of this model may be available at the InVEST website. ABSTRACT: "...Here we use simple spatial analyses on readily available datasets to compare the distribution of five ecosystem services with tiger habitat in central Sumatra. We assessed services and habitat in 2008 and the changes in these variables under two future scenarios: a conservation-friendly Green Vision, and a Spatial Plan developed by the Indonesian government..." AUTHOR'S DESCRIPTION: "We used a modeling tool, InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Environmental Services and Tradeoffs version 1.004; Tallis et al., 2010), to map and quantify tiger habitat quality and five ecosystem services. InVEST maps ecosystem services and the quality of species habitat as production functions of LULC using simple biophysical models. Models were parameterized using data from regional agencies, literature surveys, global databases, site visits and prior field experience (Table 1)... The sediment retention model is based on the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) (Wischmeier and Smith, 1978). It estimates erosion as ton y^-1 of sediment load, based on the energetic ability of rainfall to move soil, the erodibility of a given soil type, slope, erosion protection provided by vegetated LULC, and land management practices. The model routes sediment originating on each land parcel along its flow path, with vegetated parcels retaining a fraction of sediment with varying efficiencies, and exporting the remainder downstream. ...Although InVEST reports ecosystem services in biophysical units, its simple models are best suited to understanding broad patterns of spatial variation (Tallis and Polasky, 2011), rather than for precise quantification. Additionally, we lacked field measurements against which to calibrate our outputs. Therefore, we focused on relative spatial distribution across the landscape, and relative change to scenarios." | ABSTRACT: "Low Impact Development (LID) is an alternative to conventional urban stormwater management practices, which aims at mitigating the impacts of urbanization on water quantity and quality. Plot and local scale studies provide evidence of LID effectiveness; however, little is known about the overall watershed scale influence of LID practices. This is particularly true in watersheds with a land cover that is more diverse than that of urban or suburban classifications alone. We address this watershed-scale gap by assessing the effects of three common LID practices (rain gardens, permeable pavement, and riparian buffers) on the hydrology of a 0.94 km2 mixed land cover watershed. We used a spatially-explicit ecohydrological model, called Visualizing Ecosystems for Land Management Assessments (VELMA), to compare changes in watershed hydrologic responses before and after the implementation of LID practices. For the LID scenarios, we examined different spatial configurations, using 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% implementation extents, to convert sidewalks into rain gardens, and parking lots and driveways into permeable pavement. We further applied 20 m and 40 m riparian buffers along streams that were adjacent to agricultural land cover…" AUTHOR'S DESCRIPTION: "VELMA’s modeling domain is a three-dimensional matrix that includes information regarding surface topography, land use, and four soil layers. VELMA uses a distributed soil column framework to model the lateral and vertical movement of water and nutrients through the four soil layers. A soil water balance is solved for each layer. The soil column model is placed within a watershed framework to create a spatially distributed model applicable to watersheds (Figure 2, shown here with LID practices). Adjacent soil columns interact through down-gradient water transport. Water entering each pixel (via precipitation or flow from an adjacent pixel) can either first infiltrate into the implemented LID and the top soil layer, and then to the downslope pixel, or continue its downslope movement as the lateral surface flow. Surface and subsurface lateral flow are routed using a multiple flow direction method, as described in Abdelnour et al. [21]. A detailed description of the processes and equations can be found in McKane et al. [32], Abdelnour et al. [21], Abdelnour et al. [40]." | ABSTRACT: "Our initial primary objective (Progress Report I) was prediction of environmental services provided by the 27 Iowa Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) wetland sites that had been completed by 2007 in the Prairie Pothole Region of northcentral Iowa. The sites contain 102.4 ha of wetlands and 377.4 ha of associated grassland buffers…" AUTHOR'S DESCRIPTION: "The first phase of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service task was to evaluate the contribution of the 27 approved sites to migratory birds breeding in the Prairie Pothole Region of Iowa. To date, evaluation has been completed for 7 species of waterfowl and 5 species of grassland birds. All evaluations were completed using existing models that relate landscape composition to bird populations. As such, the first objective was to develop a current land cover geographic information system (GIS) that reflected current landscape conditions including the incorporation of habitat restored through the CREP program. The second objective was to input landscape variables from our land cover GIS into models to estimate various migratory bird population parameters (i.e. the number of pairs, individuals, or recruits) for each site. Recruitment for the 27 sites was estimated for Mallards, Blue-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Gadwall, and Northern Pintail according to recruitment models presented by Cowardin et al. (1995). Recruitment was not estimated for Canada Geese and Wood Ducks because recruitment models do not exist for these species. Variables used to estimate recruitment included the number of pairs, the composition of the landscape in a 4-square mile area around the CREP wetland, species-specific habitat preferences, and species- and habitat-specific clutch success rates. Recruitment estimates were derived using the following equations: Recruits = 2*R*n where, 2 = constant based on the assumption of equal sex ratio at hatch, n = number of breeding pairs estimated using the pairs equation previously outlined, R = Recruitment rate as defined by Cowardin and Johnson (1979) where, R = H*Z*B/2 where, H = hen success (see Cowardin et al. (1995) for methods used to calculate H, which is related to land cover types in the 4-mile2 landscape around each wetland), Z = proportion of broods that survived to fledge at least 1 recruit (= 0.74 based on Cowardin and Johnson 1979), B = average brood size at fledging (= 4.9 based on Cowardin and Johnson 1979)." ENTERER'S COMMENT: The number of breeding pairs (n) is estimated by a separate submodel from this paper, and as such is also entered as a separate model in ESML (EM 632). | ABSTRACT: "Wildfire is a common disturbance that can significantly alter vegetation in watersheds and affect the rate of sediment and nutrient transport to adjacent nearshore oceanic environments. Changes in runoff resulting from heterogeneous wildfire effects are not well-understood due to both limitations in the field measurement of runoff and temporally-limited spatial data available to parameterize runoff models. We apply replicable, scalable methods for modeling wildfire impacts on sediment and nonpoint source pollutant export into the nearshore environment, and assess relationships between wildfire severity and runoff. Nonpoint source pollutants were modeled using a GIS-based empirical deterministic model parameterized with multi-year land cover data to quantify fire-induced increases in transport to the nearshore environment. Results indicate post-fire concentration increases in phosphorus by 161 percent, sediments by 350 percent and total suspended solids (TSS) by 53 percent above pre-fire years. Higher wildfire severity was associated with the greater increase in exports of pollutants and sediment to the nearshore environment, primarily resulting from the conversion of forest and shrubland to grassland. This suggests that increasing wildfire severity with climate change will increase potential negative impacts to adjacent marine ecosystems. The approach used is replicable and can be utilized to assess the effects of other types of land cover change at landscape scales. It also provides a planning and prioritization framework for management activities associated with wildfire, including suppression, thinning, and post-fire rehabilitation, allowing for quantification of potential negative impacts to the nearshore environment in coastal basins." |

Elevation ranges from 1552 to 2442 m, predominantly on south-facing slopes | Not applicable | Six watersheds in central Sumatra covering portions of Riau, Jambi and West Sumatra provinces. The Barisan mountain range comprises the western edge of the watersheds, while peat swamps predominate in the east. | The Shayler Crossing (SHC) watershed is a subwatershed of the East Fork Little Miami River Watershed in southwest Ohio, USA and falls within the Till Plains region of the Central Lowland physiographic province. The Till Plains region is a topographically young and extensive flat plain, with many areas remaining undissected by even the smallest stream. The bedrock is buried under a mantle of glacial drift 3–15 m thick. The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) has a maximum value of ~269 m (North American_1983 datum) within the watershed boundary (Figure 1). The soils are primarily the Avonburg and Rossmoyne series, with high silty clay loam content and poor to moderate infiltration. Average annual precipitation for the period, 1990 through 2011, was 1097.4 _ 173.5 mm. Average annual air temperature for the same period was 12 _C Mixed land cover suburban watershed. The primary land uses consist of 64.1% urban or developed area (including 37% lawn, 12% building, 6.5% street, 6.4% sidewalk, and 2.1% parking lot and driveway), 23% agriculture, and 13% deciduous forest. Total imperviousness covers approximately 27% of the watershed area. | Prairie Pothole Region of Iowa | Central California coast includes twelve adjacent watersheds covering 87,638 ha and rises steeply from sea level to just below 1800 m within a few km from the coast, and experiences a Mediterranean climate, with fire season typically lasting from June to November. Precipitation is dependent on elevation ranging from 65 cm near the coast to over 130 cm at ridge top. Three ecological zones occur within the study area. These zones are comprised of grasslands, coastal sage scrub, chaparral, oak forests, mixed broadleaf evergreen forest, and coniferous forests. |
