Description

Artificial Substrate (sometimes referred to as artificial habitat) is a human-made or synthetic environment in which an organism lives, or the surface or medium on which an organism grows or is attached.

MSP Challenge

The Artificial Substrate pressure is calculated on a month-by-month basis considering the existing (and planned) human activities in the sea basin. The contribution from each human activity to the total Artificial Substrate in the sea region is defined from 0 (no impact) to 1 (full impact) by expert knowledge.

Artificial Substrate is subsequently a pressure on the ecosystem. This means that this data layer is fed into the ecosystem simulation (EwE), and the ecosystem simulation will provide the users with the expected response from the species in the ecossystem.
