Sedimentary links and the spatial organization of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) spawning habitat in a Canadian Shield river
First, the AA. propose an extension of the sedimentary link concept for lower relief, old mountain landscapes and test its utility along the Ste Marguerite River (SMR), a salmon river draining the Canadian Shield in the Saguenay region of Québec
. Lastly, they demonstrate the usefulness of the link structure to model the distribution of Atlantic salmon spawning habitat (a habitat that depends critically on bed texture).
