Dataset: Habitat scale model outputs Port Fourchon, LA during Fall 2022

Abstract

This dataset and code form part of a broader analysis aimed at evaluating the relationship between habitat structure and species abundance across multiple spatial scales in a rapidly changing estuarine environment near Port Fourchon, Louisiana. Specifically, the code implements a Generalized Additive Modeling (GAM) approach to identify the optimal spatial scale at which habitat features—derived from satellite imagery—best explain the abundance of common estuarine species observed during the Fall...
