Book excerpt: HABITAT CLASSIFICATION IN THE GULF OF MAINE A Review of Schemes and a Discussion of Related Regional Issues By P. T. McDougall with Marianne Janowicz and Rachael Franks Taylor A publication of the Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment Habitat Conservation Subcommittee December 2007. [...] The descriptors are an understanding of the function, context, form, a set of attributes that help explain the habitat and and usefulness of each scheme in addressing the how it functions. [...] The data a depth class (200) corresponding to the epipelagic used in the analysis covered a 12-month time series, zone of 60-200m depths, and a substrate sediment class so the zones represent groupings of similar regimes of of sand (30). [...] Plotting the two axes in a table with disturbance Level of disturbance and scope for growth in seabed habitats of the (stable versus disturbed) in the left column and scope for Scotian Shelf, Gulf of Maine, and Bay of Fundy, as measured with the growth (benign versus adverse) across the top provides Kostylev et al. [...] In the case of disturbance, When mapped across the region, the two spectra factors used to characterize the substrate as "disturbed" of disturbance and growth overlap to provide a or "stable" include the physical properties of the characterization of Scotia-Fundy benthic habitats particles in the substrate and the strength of the currents based on their vulnerability to disturbance and their and w.
