Advantages and challenges of Bayesian networks in environmental modelling
TL;DR: The pros and cons of the use of Bayesian networks especially in the context of environmental modelling and management are summarised.

An overview of methods to evaluate uncertainty of deterministic models in decision support
TL;DR: This work reviews various methods that have been or could be applied to evaluate the uncertainty related to deterministic models' outputs, and covers expert judgement, model emulation, sensitivity analysis, temporal and spatial variability in the model outputs, use of multiple models, and statistical approaches.
