Abstract:Since macrobenthos play an important role in the energy flow and material circulation of marine systems, they can act as an indicator of ecosystem health. Because there are generally complex relationships between macrobenthos and environmental factors, the optimal model for simulating macrobenthos habitat is a nonlinear, nonparametric model with a relatively flexible structure. This study applied canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to identify the key ecological factors affecting the community characteristics… Show more
