Description:
These models will determine how sediment and morphological changes may affect community composition and availability of avian macroinvertebrate food resources.
Processing & Workflow:
These models of South San Francisco Bay shoal carrying capacity will be based on daily ration modeling via SAS and R, and parameterized with information from both prey-based and habitat-based models. We will use CANOCO 4 to perform canonical correspondence analyses to reveal gradients in species composition and relate log-transformed macroinvertebrate abundance values to environmental variables (salinity, bed elevation, sediment grain size).
