macrophytes Bayesian Network

Description

Mechanical removal of macrophytes in freshwater ecosystems: Implications for ecosystem structure and function.

Format

A discrete Bayesian network o assess the implications of macrophyte removal on interrelated ecosystem properties across a wide range of environmental conditions. The probabilities were given within the referenced paper (missing probabilities were given a uniform distribution). The vertices are:

BenthicFishForaging

(Low, Moderate, High);

Disturbance

(Low, Moderate, High);

Ecosystem

(Standing floating, Standing submerged, Flowing submerged);

EcosystemServices

(Flooding, Birds, Nutrient retention, Angling, Swimming, Boating, Hydropower, Irrigation, Invasive species);

EpiphyticInvertebrates

(Low, Moderate, High);

Flow

(Low, Moderate, High);

Light

(Low, High);

NutrientLoading

(Low, Moderate, High);

Phytoplankton

(Low, Moderate, High);

PiscivorousFish

(Present, Absent);

PiscivorousFishPredation

(Low, High)

PlanktivorousFish

(Low, High);

PlantRemoval

(None, Partial, Full;)

Resources

(Low, Moderate, High);

Zooplankton

(Low, Moderate, High);

Value

An object of class bn.fit. Refer to the documentation of bnlearn for details.
