Effect of seawater temperature, pH, and nutrients on the distribution and character of low abundance shallow water benthic foraminifera in the Galápagos
Fig 8
Univariate regression tree analysis.
Plot shows the dominant controls on the cluster distribution in cluster analysis. The plot was produced by modeling the response variables (binned results of the cluster analysis) against the explanatory variables (oceanographic controls and sample depths. The resulting dendrogram reveals long-term average temperature anomalies (Mean.Anomaly..SST) as the dominant oceanographic influence of cluster splits, followed by sample depth.
