The relative contribution (%) of the predictor variables to the BRT models over the regional scale. Iván F. Rodil Tanya J. Compton Mariano Lastra 10.1371/journal.pone.0039609.t002 https://plos.figshare.com/articles/dataset/_The_relative_contribution_of_the_predictor_variables_to_the_BRT_models_over_the_regional_scale_/290218 <p>The predictor variables, by relevance were mean grain size (MGS), sediment shear strength (SS), mean sea surface temperature (sst), and chlorophyll <i>a</i> (chl<i>a</i>). The predictor variables with the highest contribution described the recorded observations of the dominant beach species (same as in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0039609#pone-0039609-t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>). Beach species included in the final model: <i>Bathyporeia pelagica</i>, <i>Donax trunculus</i>, <i>Eurydice affinis</i>, <i>Eurydic pulchra</i>, <i>Pontocrates arenarius</i>, <i>Scolelepis squamata</i>, <i>Sphaeroma rugicauda</i>, <i>Talorchestia brito</i> and <i>Talitrus saltator</i>.</p> 2012-06-25 00:03:38 predictor variables brt models
