Figure 6

Partial dependence plots of the top five variables from the BRT model. Relative contribution in percentage is provided between parentheses for each variable. BAT: bathymetry, SAL: salinity, CHL: log-transformed (x + 1) concentration of chlorophyll-a, EDGE: distance from the sea ice limit, SST: sea surface temperature. The shading shows the 95% confidence intervals estimated from 50 bootstrap samples of the data set.
