Assessing and Predicting Distribution Shifts of Canopy-Forming Marine Macrophytes in the Northwest Atlantic with Remote Sensing and Species Distribution Models
(2017-12-12)This thesis quantified the distribution of several ecologically and commercially important canopy-forming marine macrophytes in the Northwest Atlantic using species distribution models (SDM) and satellite remote sensing. ... -
Multi-Decadal Habitat Changes Mapped via Remote Sensing and Implications for Juvenile Lemon Sharks (Negaprion Brevirostris) and their Nursery Areas.
(2024-04-12)Shark species currently face anthropogenic pressures, including loss of critical habitat. In Bimini, the Bahamas, two nursery areas exist for juvenile lemon sharks (Negaprion brevirostris) with mangrove and seagrass providing ... -
Quantification and spatial analysis of seagrass landscape structure through the application of aerial and acoustic remote sensing
(2016-01-19)Biogenic components of the marine environment such as eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) provide numerous valuable ecosystem services and function as ecosystem engineers in the coastal environment. The spatial distribution and ... -
The role of marine macrophytes in providing essential ecosystem services: Their relative contribution and how services are impacted by eutrophication
(2012-12-14)Most coastal ecosystems are dominated by marine macrophytes that deliver a range of ecologically and economically important services such as carbon and nitrogen cycling and storage, and habitat provision to a range of ...
