SBC LTER: Santa Cruz Island: Abundance and Biomass of Benthic Organisms (food resource collection)

These data describe the abundance of benthic organisms as determined by random quadrat scrapings. These data represent the availability of food resources for fish at various depths, and are part of a long term investigation of temporal patterns in reef community composition. The sampling locations in this dataset include three sites along the north shore of Santa Cruz Island. Data collection began in 1982 and this dataset is updated annually.

本数据集记录了采用随机样方刮取法测得的底栖生物（benthic organisms）丰度。该数据反映了不同深度海域中鱼类可获取的食物资源状况，同时属于一项针对珊瑚礁群落组成时间动态模式的长期调查项目的组成部分。本数据集的采样点位涵盖圣克鲁斯岛北岸沿线的三处采样站点。数据采集工作始于1982年，且本数据集每年都会进行更新。
