DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2021.107849
Abstract: Abstract Conflicts of interests between economic and nature conservation stakeholders are increasingly common in coastal seas, inducing a growing need for evidence-based marine spatial planning. This requires accurate, high-resolution habitat maps showing the spatial distribution… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2024.1141737
Abstract: Benthic species assemblages are groups of species that co-occur on the seafloor. Linking assemblages to physical environmental features allows for understanding and predicting their spatial distribution. Species identity and abundance are commonly quantified using a… read more here.
