Highlights include:
🌊 A updated modelling workflow using MaxEnt in R
📊 Incorporation of 263 additional benthic records
🌍 Updated estimates of sediment organic carbon stocks and revised predictions of habitat distributions across Shetland waters.
One of the most encouraging findings is that the majority of modelled biotopes remain broadly consistent across three successive model iterations, demonstrating the robustness of the modelling framework while also highlighting where additional survey effort is needed in data-poor offshore areas.
