The carbon maps produced and statistical relationships documented can assist policy-makers in designing policies to maintain and enhance carbon storage for climate mitigation and other ecosystem services.
Trade-offs between carbon levels and yields were explored qualitatively using functional relationships documented in the scientific and technical literature, and expert knowledge.
The most convincing relationships documented here related to environmental variables such as SST, latitude, reef width and proximity to large estuaries irrespective of human disturbance levels.
The results gathered for these various different types of volunteering organizations indicate that the patterns for relationships documented are more generally applicable irrespective of the types of volunteering involved.
This hypothesis is consistent with global-scale diversity trends and climate-richness relationships documented for plants and other groups of organisms (e.g., [107], [108]).
Second, because of the cross-sectional nature of this study, we cannot determine the directionality of the relationships documented.
A detailed comparison between the learned network and functional relationships documented in the literature was presented in the same study.
In addition to revealing several functional relationships documented in literature, the study also revealed new relationships that were immune to the choice of the structure learning techniques.
Implied cause-and-effect relationships documented as 'rules' are evaluated by using several well-known indices of likelihood, including support, confidence, and lift [ 15].
Also, the relationships documented in this study are observational and as such we cannot make any causal conclusions, particularly in relation to parental mental health.
