Biodiversity science and policy need more model intercomparisons

Key Points

• Increased model intercomparisons may enhance the understanding of biodiversity outcomes across studies, leading to improved policy implications.
• A comprehensive review of existing models shows significant variability in predictions, highlighting the need for standardization in biodiversity science.
• The approach utilized includes comparative analysis of various biodiversity models and simulations to assess their effectiveness in policy contexts.
• Policy recommendations based on model intercomparisons may lead to more effective biodiversity strategies, necessitating further collaboration across disciplines.
