INTERPRETING AND COMMUNICATING LOCAL VS BROAD-SCALE MODEL RESULTS: A CASE STUDY USING PHOSPHORUS AND SUSPENDED SOLID PREDICTION AND ASSESSMENT ACROSS WISCONSIN STREAMS
Many of us have encountered the frustrating but reasonable “… but what does your model say about MY stream or lake?” line of questioning. This discrepancy between large-scale models and interest in local issues is pervasive in resource management agencies, where biologists must make local management decisions often based on models developed for a much broader region. In Wisconsin, we have developed a statewide model to predict daily reach-level phosphorus and total suspended solids concentrations, and are using it to assess effects on fish and macroinvertebrates. Each model contains random effects to help tease apart site-specific nuances from state-level trends, and we are beginning to share these nuances with biologists and stakeholders to preempt the “but what about MY stream?” criticisms. Crucial to this communication has been the development of automated reports via RMarkdown for each stream reach, which we will soon pair with a Shiny web application. This talk will summarize each model and how they utilize techniques from macrosystems ecology, and include our thoughts and strategies for effectively communicating the results of broad-scale models at local scales.
