Habitat Classification of Temperate Marine Macroalgal Communities Using Bathymetric LiDAR

Habitat Classification of Temperate Marine Macroalgal Communities Using Bathymetric LiDAR

Here, we evaluated the potential of using bathymetric Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) to characterise shallow water (<30 m) benthic habitats of high energy subtidal coastal environments. Habitat classification, quantifying benthic substrata and macroalgal communities, was achieved in this...
