Development of a Seafloor Community Classification for the New Zealand Region Using a Gradient Forest Approach

Development of a Seafloor Community Classification for the New Zealand Region Using a Gradient Forest Approach

To support ongoing marine spatial planning in New Zealand, a numerical environmental classification using Gradient Forest models was developed using a broad suite of biotic and high-resolution environmental predictor variables. Gradient Forest modeling uses species distribution data to control the s...
