Short summary
Our study is concerned with how uncertainty in spatial information about environmental variables can be communicated to stakeholders to make decisions about sampling whilst also considering the trade-off between sampling effort and reducing uncertainty. We tested four approaches that relate sampling density and uncertainty by eliciting the opinions of end-users. End-users preferred the method not directly linked to decision-making. More work is needed to develop and elucidate decision-specific approaches.
