This model aims to estimate interactions between communities as well as the influences of known variables including environmental disturbances, sampling design, biological factors, etc.
This repository contains the codes associated with the paper "Coral Reef Community Changes in Karimunjawa National Park, Indonesia: Assessing the Efficacy of Management in the Face of Local and Global Stressors" published in Journal of Marine Science and Engineering. In this study, we estimated the influences of management zoning and bleaching impacts on five benthic groups (hard coral, soft coral, algae, sponge and sediment).
