On the principles and factors determining the predictive success of ecosystem models, with a focus on lake eutrophication models

• If an ecosystem model is tested against an independent set of data, then the achieved r(2)-value (when modelled values are compared with empirical data (y)) will depend on the uncertainty in the empirical y-value (i.e. the uncertainty in the y-direction)
