Botelho et al. claimed that ecosystem models cannot make accurate population forecasts and should not be used in conservation management. We agree that producing accurate forecasts from ecosystem models is difficult, but assert that it has been achieved and their utility as a decision-support tool is evident.
博特略等人声称生态系统模型无法做出准确的种群预测,因此不应将其用于保护管理。我们认同从生态系统模型得出准确预测是困难的,但我们断言这已经实现了,并且其作为决策支持工具的效用是明显的。
