A subtidal ecological classification system to represent species diversity and distribution patterns in the Maritimes region / Michelle Greenlaw, Marty King, Kayla Smith, and Ryan Martin.: Fs70-5/2023-056E-PDF
"This paper was presented and peer-reviewed at the September 29–October 2, 2015 zonal meeting on Evaluation of Hierarchical Marine Ecological Classification Systems for Pacific and Maritimes Regions held in Nanaimo, British Columbia. It describes the application of the classification in the Maritimes Region, with a focus on benthic ecosystem attributes two levels below the Bioregion level (Biophysical Domains and Geomorphic Units), including a separate classification for coastal areas. The environmental data used in the application were weighted by previous biological analyses in the region. Methods were proposed for populating the Biotope Level. These classifications will be used to help achieve the representativity criterion for MPA Network design in the Region"--Abstract.
