sponge.gridR Documentation

A dataset of predictors for generating sponge species richness in a selected region in the Timor Sea region, northern Australia marine margin

Description

This dataset contains 95530 rows of 7 predictive variables including longitude (easting), latitude (northing), topographic position index (tpi3), variance of backscatter (var7), entropy (entro7), backscatter at incidence angle 11 degree (bs11), and backscatter at incidence angle 34 degree (bs34).
