Beyond salty reins – modelling benthic species' spatial response to their physical environment in the Pomeranian Bay (Southern Baltic Sea)

摘要: The brackish water environment of the Baltic Sea is dominated by a strong gradient salinity and along with benthic diversity decreases – regarded as master factor regulating in habitats. In this scheme, consistently small patches comparatively higher or lower do emerge areas where either environmental anthropogenic impacts on habitat change drastically over short spatial distances. Hence, ecological factors creates among colonization community structures. We show through logistic modeling approach possibility to predict thereby induced structures inside broad scheme habitat. This study bases upon quantitative macrozoobenthic abundance data collected period 4 years. It clearly demonstrates need analyze species’ relationships systems such provides tool natural forced changes species distribution.
