Modelled Global Distribution of the Seagrass Biome - United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre
type: Dataset
description: This is a MaxEnt model map of the global distribution of the seagrass biome. Species occurrence records were extracted from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), United Nations Environment Programme-World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) Ocean Data Viewer and Ocean biogeographic information system (OBIS). This map shows the suitable habitats for the seagrass distribution at global scale. Citation: Jayathilake D.R.M., Costello M.J. 2018. A modelled global distribution of the seagrass biome.
