Stratified Vegetation Survey Data from an Experimental Mangrove Site in Port Aransas, Texas: 2019

We visually surveyed the vegetation at the front and back of ten large experimental plots located in a large stand of mangroves near Port Aransas, Texas on November 28th, 2019. The ten experimental plots had been thinned using a 3 x 3 m grid in 2012 to create a gradient in plot-level mangrove cover from 0 to 100 percent. We estimated percent cover in six “mangrove” and six “cleared” cells at the front and back of each plot.
