Abstract

Distribution of predicted suitable habitat for six cold-water-coral, six deep-water fish and one sponge species, on the North Atlantic (18°N to 76°N and 36°E to 98°W). For each species, predicted habitat distribution was obtained for present-day conditions (1951-2000) and for the future climate refugias, i.e. the areas that were predicted as suitable both for present-day and forecasted future (2081-2010) conditions. The dataset gathers 26 raster layers created on the same grid of 25km * 25km resolution, downgraded from source layers (3km *3km resolution) that were created within the work package 3 of EU ATLAS project. The presence (value=1) of climate refugia and the relative cover (value ranging from 0 to 1) of present-day suitable habitat was extracted in gridsquares.

This dataset was built to feed a basin-wide spatial conservation planning exercise, targeting the deep sea of the North Atlantic. The goal of this approach was to identify conservation priority areas for Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) and deep fish species, based on the distribution of species and habitats, human activities and current spatial management.

Statement

Habitat Suitability Models were developed by IMAR (Instituto do Mar, Universidade dos Açores, Horta, Portugal), for six fish, six coral, and one sponge species to assess the patterns of deep-sea species distribution and forecast their change under future climate change scenarios (ATLAS EU Deliverable 3.3). The relative cover of present-day suitable habitat and the presence of future climate refugia was extracted in 25km * 25 km gridsquares of the raster grid used for the ATLAS spatial prioritization.

Description

The corals included three scleractinian corals forming aragonitic skeletons (the reef building colonial species Lophelia pertusa, Madrepora oculata, and the solitary coral Desmophyllum dianthus), and three gorgonians forming calcitic skeletons (Acanella arbuscula, Acanthogorgia armata, and Paragorgia arborea). The deep-sea fish species selected were the roundnose grenadier (Coryphaenoides rupestris), the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), the bluemouth rockfish (Helicolenus dactylopterus), the American plaice (Hippoglossoides platessoides), the Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides), and the beaked redfish (Sebastes mentella). This list was complemented by a sponge species, Geodia barretti, thanks to a collaboration with the H2020 Blue Growth SponGES project which provided clean records for the species.

Habitat suitability models (ATLAS Deliverable 3.3) were developed using a collection of species records from various public sources and from ATLAS partners, a set of terrain (static in time) and environmental (dynamic in time) variables to predict present-day (1951-2000) distribution and to forecast future (2081-2100) changes. The climate refugia represent the habitats that are predicted suitable for both the present and the future conditions.

An ensemble modelling approach was employed, using the maximum entropy model (Maxent), Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) and the Random Forest machine learning algorithms. Binary outputs (coded 1 for presence and 0 for absence) defined with the Maximum Sensitivity and Specificity threshold (MSS) for present conditions and climate refugia were based on a 3km * 3km resolution, from 18°N to 76°N and 36E° to 98°W.

Rationale

Habitat suitability models

Description

Using the R environment, the raster grid of 25km * 25km resolution was transformed to polygons, each polygon representing a gridsquare in the study area. The presence of climate refugia and the relative cover of present-day suitable habitat were computed for each gridsquare using the extract function from the velox package in R, allowing to account for the area of each raster cell overlapping with the gridsquare. Regarding future climate refugia, the presence of refugia in the gridsquares, rather than their relative cover, was chosen as a precautionary approach given the uncertainty of future predictions. Polygon gridsquare were transformed back to raster using the rasterize function from the velox package.
