- Title
- EUSeaMap (2016) Broad-Scale Predictive Habitat Map
- Abstract
Output of the 2016 EUSeaMap broad-scale predictive model, produced by EMODnet Seabed Habitats.
The extent of the mapped area includes the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, Baltic Sea, and areas of the North Eastern Atlantic extending from the Canary Islands in the south to Norway in the North.
**The dataset uploaded in the MSPKC contains the Mediterranean Sea section only.**
The map was produced using a "top-down" modelling approach using classified habitat descriptors to determine a final output habitat.
Habitat descriptors differ per region but include: Biological zone, Energy class, Oxygen regime, Salinity regime, Seabed Substrate, Riverine input.
Habitat descriptors (excepting Substrate) are calculated using underlying physical data and thresholds derived from statistical analyses or expert judgement on known conditions.
