Spatial mapping of ecosystem patterns
Spatial GDM predictions, of the final ecosystem response model, revealed
ecosystem patterns across Nova Scotia (Figure 5). Higher elevations in
northern and central areas (shaded darker green and green-blue) are
distinguishable from lower elevations elsewhere in the province. A broad
area of the southwest (lighter green and brown shading), which occurs at
lower elevation and supports more subdued relief, is also discernible.
