Temperate reef habitat structure data

The data is a collection of reef habitat structure measurements from sites around Tasmania with regional snapshots from Jurien Bay (WA) and Jervis Bay (NSW). Explanatory variables investigated were depth, duration of protection from fishing within marine protected area, rugosity, boulder substratum at a site, the average number of refuge size categories, and a fractal refuge index that reflected the frequency distribution of different sized physical refuges. Also considered were biogenic habitat structure in the form of the percent cover of canopy algae and the biomass of predatory fish.本数据集收录了塔斯马尼亚周边海域各采样点的礁生境结构测量数据，同时涵盖来自西澳大利亚州朱里恩湾（Jurien Bay, WA）与新南威尔士州杰维斯湾（Jervis Bay, NSW）的区域代表性采样快照。本次研究所考量的解释变量包括：水深、海洋保护区内的禁渔保护时长、礁体表面粗糙度、样点巨砾底质占比、庇护所尺寸类别的平均数量，以及用于反映不同尺寸物理庇护所频率分布的分形庇护指数。此外还纳入了以冠层藻类盖度与肉食性鱼类生物量表征的生物成因生境结构相关指标。
