Dataset of seagrass bed monitoring, Puerto Morelos, Mexico, 2019

This data set (in Excel format), contains in-situ condition information for six reef lagoon sites from Puerto Morelos Arrecife National Park, surveyed in June 2019. We present results on the spatial variability of the seagrasses communities through biological variables: specific meadow composition, seagrass density, canopy height, and biomass. This product represents the application of Conabio's monitoring protocols for the seagrass ecosystem of the protected natural areas of the Mexican Caribbean.<b>Links to supplementary information</b>: Marine-Coastal Information and Analysis System (SIMAR) https://simar.conabio.gob.mx/<b>Acknowledgments</b>The authors acknowledge the logistical support provided by CONABIO, the Marine Science and Limnology Institute of UNAM, and the director of the Arrecife de Puerto Morelos National Park, María del Carmen García Rivas. <br><br>

本数据集采用Excel格式存储，包含2019年6月对波多莫雷洛斯珊瑚礁国家公园（Puerto Morelos Arrecife National Park）内6处礁湖点位的原位状态监测信息。本数据集依托海草床群落组成、海草密度、冠层高度及生物量等生物学变量，揭示了海草群落的空间异质性特征。本数据集严格应用Conabio制定的墨西哥加勒比海保护区海草生态系统监测规范完成。
