Coral reef community structure on shallow reefs of St. John, US Virgin Islands, 1992-2014
收藏资源简介：
<p>Benthic coral reef communities were monitored on the south shore of St. John. In 1992, six sites were selected using random coordinates constrained to hard bottom on fringing reefs (< 9-m depth) between Cabritte Horn and White Point, and were permanently marked. Three sites (RS5, RS11 and RS15) resemble gorgonian plains, but the remainder have greater topographic complexity than gorgonian plains due to the presence of igneous boulders and cliffs.</p> <p>The entire Excel Workbook, which contains two additional datasets (Coral Reef Abundance: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/750513 and Physical Data: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/750558), can be downloaded from https://datadocs.bco-dmo.org/docs/302/St_John_LTREB/data_docs/750459/1/Data_for_Paper_Metadata_copy.xls. </p>
