Periglacial distribution modelling with a boosting method
The AA. assessed the applicability of a boosting method in periglacial distribution modelling using empirically derived data on cryoturbation, sporadic permafrost and sorted solifluction from an area in sub-Arctic Finland. The results showed
the robustness of the boosting method in predicting the distribution of periglacial phenomena in the sub-Arctic landscape. Furthermore, the environmental factors selected by the boosting method coincided well with the expected controls of the phenomena
. The strengths of the generalised boosting method lie in its high predictive ability, flexibility in capturing complex process-environment relationships and realistic model outcomes.
