Habitat suitability modeling for Posidonia oceanica distribution along a Mediterranean region (NW Italy) by Rachele Bordoni, Chiara Paoli, Monica Montefalcone, Alice Oprandi, Ilaria Rigo, Francesca Ruggeri, Paolo Vassallo

“…To address this need, we developed habitat suitability models (HSMs), built up using the Random Forest algorithm in R software, that assess the suitability of the environment for the presence of P. oceanica in the Ligurian Sea (NW Italy).Model response variables included potential seabed areas characterized by P. oceanica habitats on soft and rocky bottoms, down to 50 m depth. Explanatory variables included natural factors as well as variables related to human activities along the coastal strip.The HSMs showed high accuracy rates of 82% for P. oceanica on soft bottom and 99% for P. oceanica on rocky bottom. …”
