Habitat suitability map Hesionura elongata 0-100. The habitat suitability map (HSM) of the Hesionura elongata community is a map describing the likelihood of presence of the Hesionura elongata community from 0 to 100% across the Belgian Part of the North Sea. The Hesionura elongata community is a macrobethic species assemblage characteristics of the area. The map is the visualization of a species distribution modelling exercise which consisted in modelling the likelihood of presence of the specific macrobenthic community based on the environmental parameters available. The modelling exercise was performed using a large dataset of macrobenthos samples.

The samples included species assemblages and environmental parameters that were classified in known communities by clustering analysis. The presence-absence dataset was used to develop an habitat suitability model with the method R-INLA SPDE. The habitat suitability model was used to project the probability of occurrence of the community over stacked environmental maps in R and QGIS.
