Values in parentheses are the percent change from the values used in the implicit‐vole representation with vole effects aggregated in with parallel ecosystem processes. “Total” is the total of the vole‐mediated and the parallel ecosystem process in the two preceding rows. “PAR” is the parameter in the equation for the parallel process in the preceding rows that was modified to accommodate explicit representation of voles.
