---README---

This data package contains outputs from a multinomial generalised linear model predicting the distribution of five broad ecosystem classes of benthic habitat in the 'Capes' region of the South-west Corner Marine Park: seagrass, sessile invertebrates, macroalgae, bare consolidated, bare unconsolidated (see https://metadata.imas.utas.edu.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/e1ca78ee-8b4f-42d3-b60a-13bf44faf95b). This dataset was generated using a fine-scale (5 m resolution) input bathymetry data source, and all outputs are at 5 m spatial resolution.


---Model Outputs---

The model outputs are provided in two formats, both presenting identical data:
(1) Singleband rasters
	Five individual rasters, each representing the mean probability of occurrence for a different ecosystem component.
(2) Multiband raster
	A single 5-band raster, where each band corresponds to the mean probability of occurrence for a different ecosystem component.


---Web Map Services (WMS)---

Web Map Services for use in GIS software are available from https://geoserver.imas.utas.edu.au/predicted_habitat/wms with the following layer names:
 * Probability of occurrence (5-class combined view) [recommended]:
	'SWC_finescale_EcosystemComponents5class_mean'
 * Probability of occurrence (split by ecosystem type): 
	'SWC_finescale_predicted_consolidated_MEAN'
	'SWC_finescale_predicted_macroalgae_MEAN'
	'SWC_finescale_predicted_seagrass_MEAN'
	'SWC_finescale_predicted_unconsolidated_MEAN'
	'SWC_finescale_predicted_sessile_inverts_MEAN'
	

---Data directory structure---

 * Folder: 'multiband'
	Contains a single multiband (5-band) tif where each band represents the mean probability of occurrence for one of the five ecosystem components.
	Band assignment: Band 1 = bare consolidated, Band 2 = macroalgae, Band 3 = seagrass, Band 4 = bare unconsolidated, Band 5 = sessile invertebrates
	File:
	- SWC_finescale_multinomial_preds_5class.tif

 * Folder: 'splitbyband'
	Contains five individual singleband tifs, each representing the mean probability of occurrence for a specific ecosystem component.
	File naming convention:
	- SWC_finescale_pred_consolidated_MEAN.tif = mean predicted probability of occurrence of bare consolidated substrata
	- SWC_finescale_pred_macroalgae_MEAN.tif = mean predicted probability of occurrence of macroalgae
	- SWC_finescale_pred_seagrass_MEAN.tif = mean predicted probability of occurrence of seagrass
	- SWC_finescale_pred_unconsolidated_MEAN.tif = mean predicted probability of occurrence of bare unconsolidated substrata
	- SWC_finescale_pred_sessile_inverts_MEAN.tif = mean predicted probability of occurrence of sessile invertebrates
