Survival and growth of recruit-sized ramets growing inside or outside Sargassum beds (crowded and isolated conditions, respectively) in the MPA and non-MPA of two villages in Fiji

<p>Survival and growth of recruit-sized ramets of <em>Sargassum polycystum </em>growing inside or outside <em>Sargassum</em> beds (crowded and isolated conditions, respectively) in protected and non-protected areas (MPA and non-MPA, respectively) in two villages in Fiji.</p>

<p>Growth was obtained using the initial height measurement from each ramet and subtracting it from its final height, meaning the ramets that died were recorded as negative change. An average final height was calculated from two sub-samples (the two MPA and two non-MPA ramets) on each tile after 3 months of experiment. Survival was the average number of days survived by the two MPA ramets and by the two non-MPA ramets in each tile Details in Dell et al. 2016 Plos One.</p>

<p>本数据集涉及斐济两个村庄内，生长于<em>马尾藻（Sargassum）</em>床内部（对应拥挤生境）与外部（对应孤立生境）的<em>囊状马尾藻（Sargassum polycystum）</em>幼龄克隆分株（ramet）的存活与生长情况。实验设置了海洋保护区（Marine Protected Area，简称MPA）与非海洋保护区（non-MPA）两种保护类型区域。</p><p>生长量通过每株克隆分株的初始高度与终期高度的差值计算得到，即死亡的克隆分株的生长量记为负值。实验开展3个月后，基于每个定植板（tile）上的两个子样本（分别对应海洋保护区组与非海洋保护区组的各两株克隆分株）计算平均终期高度。存活率为每个定植板上的海洋保护区组与非海洋保护区组两株克隆分株的平均存活天数。详细实验方案参见Dell等（2016）发表于《PLOS ONE》的研究。</p><p><strong>相关参考文献：</strong><br />Dell, C.、Longo, G.O.、Hay, M.E.，2016年。正反馈作用提升退化珊瑚礁上大型藻类的恢复力。《PLOS ONE》。</p><p><strong>相关数据集：</strong><br /><a href="http://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/643915">囊状马尾藻成体生长——图2</a><br /><a href="http://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/644035">囊状马尾藻幼龄分株存活——图3</a><br /><a href="http://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/644062">同种共存下囊状马尾藻成体生长——图4</a></p>
