Understanding the distribution of maerl, a calcareous seaweed, off Dorset, UK: an application of regression-modelling

Annika Mitchell, Ken Collins

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The density of maerl, a calcareous seaweed of significant conservation importance, is mapped off Dorset, UK, using spatial modelling and interpolation. The relationship between maerl density and near-bed current speed is investigated through the use of linear regression modelling. The findings and applications are discussed.
