Answers to these questions require a holistic research approach that addresses the interconnected and multiscale character of natural and social systems.

A full assessment of the interactions between people and biodiversity requires a multiscale approach, as this better reflects the multiscale nature of decision-making, allows the examination of driving forces from outside particular regions, and provides a means of examining the differential impact of changes in biodiversity, ecosystem services, and policy responses on different regions and groups within regions.

Of course when using the multiscale system for modeling, it has the advantage of only resolving those features that can be resolved by the mesh.
-
Note that the proofs of the accuracy of the multiscale system are done in the continuum, i.e. they have nothing to do with numerical methods.
-
Under those circumstances, the original approximate system became a true multiscale model Browning and Kreiss 2002.
-
Here I also mention that the multiscale system is automatically well posed because it is a hyperbolic system that is mathematically well understood both for the initial and initial-boundary value problems.
-
The MA was conducted as a “multiscale” assessment, consisting of interlinked assessments undertaken at local, watershed, national, regional and global scales.
-
If you look up the manuscript by S Thomas and me, you will see that a semi-implicit model for the nonhydrostatic equation in the mesoscale case theoreticaly shown to be both accurate and stable produces the same solution as the multiscale system, but the latter works for all scales without the need to solve 3d elliptic equations at every step.
-
For ecological systems, sustainability is defined by a comprehensive, multiscale, dynamic, hierarchical measure of resilience, vigor and organization.
-
In a number of our later manuscripts, we showed that the new system is a true multiscale system and can handle mesoscale and smaller flows in the midlatitudes and all scales of motion near the equator.
