A regionally scalable habitat typology for assessing benthic habitats and fish communities: Application to New Caledonia reefs and lagoons by Dominique Pelletier, Nazha Selmaoui‐Folcher, Thomas Bockel, Thomas Schohn

“…Abstract Scalable assessments of biodiversity are required to successfully and adaptively manage coastal ecosystems. Assessments must account for habitat variations at multiple spatial scales, including the small scales (<100 m) at which biotic and abiotic habitat components structure the distribution of fauna, including fishes. …”

Muddying the Picture? Forecasting Particulate Sources and Dispersal Patterns in Managed Catchments by Janet Cristine Richardson, David Mark Hodgson, Paul Kay, Benjamin J. Aston, Andrew C. Walker

“…Producing seasonal land use maps also allows the assessment of temporal variation in rainfall, which in combination with climate change projections allows for adaptable management plans. The bias in gradient in modeling, which assumes that high gradients result in greater sediment erosion risk, show that traditional models underestimate the contribution of erosion risk in lowland areas. …”
