This work enables PEcAn’s ability to represent uncertainty in ecosystem models and directly supports applications in NASA CMS and California Air Resources Board (CARB) carbon monitoring efforts.

As more scientists become familiar with notebooks, these offer more flexible, direct, and extensible introductions to PEcAn workflows. These notebooks lower the barrier to entry for students and researchers, making it easier to run PEcAn models, explore uncertainty, and learn ecological forecasting through hands-on examples.

By decoupling key workflows from BETYdb, his work improves portability, simplifies development, and makes the system more accessible to new users and contributors.
