In matrix models that describe forest dynamics, the uncertainty on model predictions is directly related to the precision of estimation of the transition parameters of the model (growth, recruitment and mortality rates). The two main sources of variability in parameter estimates are sampling and environmental variability. Sampling variability depends on the amount of available observations. As tropical rainforests have many rare species, most species-specific parameter estimates have huge errors. A solution to this problem is to group species into functional group to increase the number of available observations. Environmental variability is related to the spatio-temporal variations of transition parameters due to environmental fluctuations...
