Marine Biotopes in South Troms
Description
The data set shows the prevalence of marine biotopes in the Astafjords in Sør-Troms. A biotope is an area with a specific composition of plant and animal species that live under uniform environmental conditions. What species this is is determined by the environmental conditions of the area. Using multivariate statistical methods and on the basis of detailed depth data, grain size data and information about bottom fauna from video, 12 biotope classes have been modelled on the seabed in Astafjorden, Vågsfjorden and Tranøyfjorden with the side fjords. Biotopdata is one of many map products of the project “Marine Basemap in Sør-Troms” (2002-2012).
