Abstract

This paper analyzes the factors influencing the primary productivity of U.S. coastal areas in 2010. Understanding primary productivity is crucial to our understanding of the ecosystem and the biodiversity it supports. In this analysis, five parameters were taken into consideration, including longitude, latitude, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and ammonia. Incorporating data from the Nation Coastal Condition Assessment (NCCA), this study mainly focused on the two models, multivariate polynomial regression and random forest, and general performance on the prediction accuracy. Comparing the results of the two models, the multivariate polynomial model does perform slightly better than that of the random forest model. Both of the two models yield good prediction models that can be further applied to the prediction of primary productivity rate for the ecology prediction and biodiversity prediction.
