EUSeaMap (2019) Broad-Scale Predictive Habitat Map - Confidence in classification of substrate type

Confidence in the classification of substrate type in the 2019 EUSeaMap broad-scale predictive habitat map.

Values are on a range from 1 (Low confidence) to 3 (High confidence).

Substrate type 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'. The substrate layer confidence was obtained from reclassification and standardisation of the confidence scores associated with each primary layer used to create the Substrate types layer.

Detailed information on the modelling process for the 2016 is found in section 2.7.2 of 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.

Created by the EMODnet Seabed Habitats project consortium.
