Spatial prediction of coral reef habitats: integrating ecology with spatial modeling and remote sensing

Abstract: Spatial prediction of coral reef habitats and coral reef community components was approached on the basis of the 'predict first, classify later' paradigm. Individual community components (biotic and geomorphologic bottom features) were first predicted and then classified into composite habitats. This approach differs from widely applied methods of direct classification based on remote sensing only. In situ coral reef community-condition assessment was first used to measure a response variable (percentage cover… Show more

“…2) (Overton et al 2002;Garza-Pérez et al 2004). We have performed the spatial diversity prediction by using fish abundance (number of individuals), SR (species richness or the number of species) and the Shannon-Weaver diversity index as a function of a variety of environmental variables, which were modeled using GRASP v.2.5 (Generalized regression analysis and spatial prediction) (Lehmann et al 2002a).…”

“…Recent studies on coral reefs addressing spatially explicit predictions encompass a wide range of applications: covers of coral reef benthic components and diversity (Garza-Pérez et al 2004) using generalized additive models (GAMs); fish SR using classification and regression trees (CART) (Pittman et al 2007); juvenile coral reef fishes distribution using generalized linear models (GLMs) (Mellin et al 2007); and fish community structure indicators using different models (Knudby et al 2010;Mellin et al 2010;Pittman and Brown 2011). All these studies have used different approaches to predict benthic and fish coral reef communities successfully.…”

“…In situ images are typically used to define a typology of habitats relevant for understanding species distributions at scales ,100 m (Dumas et al 2009), whereas remotely sensed images are used to map these habitats and associated species at scales .100 m (e.g., Mattio et al 2008). These habitat maps are increasingly used as spatially explicit layers in habitat suitability models, whereby biodiversity metrics (e.g., species richness, abundance, functional groups) can be mapped indirectly (Garza-Pe´rez et al 2004, Mellin et al 2007). However, these methods are time-consuming, often requiring some form of field validation, are scale-specific, and are rarely transferrable across different study areas.…”

“…For example, Kelly et al (2001) predicted seagrass occurrences based on a relative exposure index and water depth with a logistic regression model. Bathymetry data and spectral bands from remote imagery were successfully used to predict the presence of coral communities in Mexico (Garza-Perez et al 2004).…”
