Abstract
Accurate downscaling with uncertainty quantification and its inclusion in biodiversity models are crucial for accurate, valid inferences and predictions. We propose a two-stage protocol that propagates downscaling uncertainty to generalized linear models commonly used for biodiversity modelling. Simulation studies show that our two-stage protocol improves the quantification and propagation of uncertainty in biodiversity modelling when compared to existing methods. Finally, we apply the protocol to predict moss occurrence in East Antarctica.
