Influence of live coral cover on coral-reef fish communities
The effect of percentage live coral cover on the number of fish species and individuals was determined by censusing fish from a series of reefs of comparable structural complexity, but with different proportions of live coral, in the lagoon of Mataiva Atoll, Tuamotu Archipelago. Regression analysis showed that there was a highly significant (p < 0.001) positive relationship between live coral c...
متن کاملLive Coral Cover Index Testing and Application with Hyperspectral Airborne Image Data
Coral reefs are complex, heterogeneous environments where it is common for the features of interest to be smaller than the spatial dimensions of imaging sensors. While the coverage of live coral at any point in time is a critical environmental management issue, image pixels may represent mixed proportions of coverage. In order to address this, we describe the development, application, and testi...
متن کاملEvidence of extensive reef development and high coral cover in nearshore environments: implications for understanding coral adaptation in turbid settings
Mean coral cover has reportedly declined by over 15% during the last 30 years across the central Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Here, we present new data that documents widespread reef development within the more poorly studied turbid nearshore areas (<10 m depth), and show that coral cover on these reefs averages 38% (twice that reported on mid- and outer-shelf reefs). Of the surveyed seafloor area...
متن کاملA note on spectral mapping theorem
This paper aims to present the well-known spectral mapping theorem for multi-variable functions.
متن کاملSpectral and Spatial-Based Classification for Broad-Scale Land Cover Mapping Based on Logistic Regression
Improvement of satellite sensor characteristics motivates the development of new techniques for satellite image classification. Spatial information seems to be critical in classification processes, especially for heterogeneous and complex landscapes such as those observed in the Mediterranean basin. In our study, a spectral classification method of a LANDSAT-5 TM imagery that uses several binom...
