Example of how spatial autocorrelation estimates can be used to interpolate biomass between sampling stations. The spatial sampling design of SIBES with grid and random stations combined allows for accurately estimating autocorrelation. (A) The correlogram showing the spatial autocorrelation for Mudshrimp (Corophiidae) at the Balgzand area in 2011. Correlograms can be used to interpolate the abundance of a species between sampling stations as shown in (B) where Mudshrimp densities (AFDM m−2) were interpolated (mapped) at a 25 × 25 m grid. Actual sampling stations are shown in solid black circles.
