Description
The habitat suitability map (HSM) of the Nephtys cirrosa community is a map describing the likelihood of presence of the Nephtys cirrosa community from 0 to 100% across the Belgian Part of the North Sea. The Nephtys cirrosa community is a macrobethic species assemblage characteristics of the area. The map is the visualization of a species distribution modelling exercise which consisted in modelling the likelihood of presence of the specific macrobenthic community based on the environmental parameters available. The modelling exercise was performed using a large dataset of macrobenthos samples.
