Title: Predicted deep-sea coral habitat suitability for Alaskan waters (NCEI Accession 0305765)
Abstract: This dataset includes predictive habitat models for deep-sea corals in Alaskan waters, including the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone of several coral taxa at the order (Antipatharia and Scleractinia) and the suborder level (Alcyoniina, Calcaxonia, Filifera, Holaxonia, Scleraxonia, and Stolonifera). The fauna were modeled at a ~ 700 x 700 m spatial resolution with a variety physical, chemical, and environmnetal predictors under the MaxEnt framework with a spatial partioning cross-validation approach. For more details on the construction of the models, see Guinotte and Davies (2013). All models are present in GeoTIFF.
