relationships. This includes determining the limits of validity and reliability for the
model.
The development of models allows asking further questions, adding new
features and testing additional conditions. As with the case of Lake Glumsø
(Chap. 19), a model can inspire scientific development for decades after its first
publishing, not only through direct extensions but also through combinations
with new techniques, eventually also inspiring ecological as well as technical
development.
In this regard, model validation explores the contribution of a model to expand
ecological knowledge, to estimate the potential to answer questions and eventually
to facilitate the emergence of new opportunities for continuation.
