Probabilistic risk assessment of pesticides under future agricultural and climate scenarios using a bayesian network by Sophie Mentzel, Merete Grung, Roger Holten, Knut Erik Tollefsen, Knut Erik Tollefsen, Marianne Stenrød, S. Jannicke Moe

“…The BN model was used to account for variabilities of the predicted pesticide exposure in agricultural streams, and inter-species variability in sensitivity to the pesticide among freshwater species. In Northern Europe, future climate scenarios typically predict increased temperature and precipitation, which can be expected to cause an increase in weed infestations, plant disease and insect pests. …”
