Seaweed Pelvetia canaliculata model in More

Description

Pelvetia canaliculata is modelled for the Sandoy area at the More and Romsdal coast on the West coast of Norway (Soldal et al. 2009). The model was carried out in the projection UTM zone 32N. The model was developed based on 98 data points and GAM analyses of presence and absence points (presence being seaweed regardless of density). Data were collected in 2008 and the model was run by NIVA in 2009. The distribution model is based on slope and wave exposure (the species always being on shore Soldal et al. 2009). The input slope and wave exposure models had a spatial (horizontal) distribution of 10 m. The output model has a spatial (horizontal) distribution of 10 m. The work was funded by the Research Council of Norway.
