How to Statistically Disentangle the Effects of Environmental Factors and Human Disturbances: A Review

How to Statistically Disentangle the Effects of Environmental Factors and Human Disturbances: A Review

Contemporary biological assemblage composition and biodiversity are often shaped by a range of natural environmental factors, human disturbances, and their interactions. It is critical to disentangle the effects of individual natural variables and human stressors in data analysis to support manageme...
