EUSeaMap (2019) Broad-Scale Predictive Habitat Map - Confidence in classification of biological zones
Confidence in the classification of biological zones in the EUSeaMap (2019) broad-scale predictive habitat map.
Values are on a range from 1 (Low confidence) to 3 (High confidence).
Biological Zone is one of the layers of information used to categorise physical habitat types in EUSeaMap; these layers of information are collectively known as 'habitat descriptors'. Confidence in the classification of a Biological Zone at any location is driven by both the confidence in the values of the input variables, and the confidence in the classification based on proximity to, and uncertainty in, the boundary between classes (i.e. areas closer to a boundary between two classes will have lower confidence).
Layers are also available showing confidence in the values of the input variables used to model Biological Zones.
Detailed information on the modelling process for the 2016 is found in the EMODnet Seabed Habitats technical report and its appendices (Populus et al, 2017, link in Resources). We are working on an updated report for the 2019 version.
