Diastylis, Corbula gibba, Dipolydora quadrilobata, Arctica islandica, Aricidea suecica, Abra alba abundance model in Baltic Sea

Data represents the abundance of benthic community with Diastylis, Corbula gibba, Dipolydora quadrilobata, Arctica islandica, Aricidea suecica, Abra albain the Baltic Sea. Baltic wide benthic community analysis is done based on the abundance and biomass data averaged for all sampling events in within 5 km grid cell based on the harmonised dataset that comprises data at over 7000 locations mostly sampled in period 2000-2013. Random Forest model was used for spatial interpolation.Original data can be downloaded: http://gis.ices.dk/gis/rest/services/ExternalDatasets/Benthic/MapServer. For EMODnet Seabed habitat portal the original dataset was separated as presence-absence grids per identified benthic community in the original article.
