Expert judgment data for a Bayesian decision network of prescribed fire in Gulf of Mexico marshes (ver. 1.1, August 2025)
August 1, 2024
This data set was collected as part of structured decision-making workshops designed to build a Bayesian Decision Network of prescribed fire in high marshes of the Gulf of Mexico. As part of a formal elicitation process for expert judgment, workshop participants independently created conditional probability tables based on a conceptual model of prescribed fire in high marsh ecosystems. Following the workshop, we aggregated the conditional probability tables across experts and used them to create a Bayesian Decision network in probability network software.

RE-ARMing salt marshes: A resilience-experimentalist approach to prescribed fire and bird conservation in high marshes of the Gulf of Mexico RE-ARMing salt marshes: A resilience-experimentalist approach to prescribed fire and bird conservation in high marshes of the Gulf of Mexico
Uncertainty, complexity, and dynamic changes present challenges for conservation and natural resource management. Evidence-based approaches grounded in reliable information and rigorous analysis can enhance the navigation of the uncertainties and trade-offs inherent in conservation problems. This study highlights the importance of collaborative efforts and evidence-based decision-making
