Metadata information for all samples taken from coral fragments used in a transplant experiment conducted at the Varadero Reef from 2016-2017

<p>This dataset&nbsp;contains metadata information for all samples taken from coral fragments used in a transplant experiment. These samples were collected at two time points (pre-transplant and post-trasplant 6 months later) from <em>Orbicella faveolata</em> fragments originating from Varadero (3.5m depth) and Rosario (12m depth). Samples were also transplanted to a site within Cartagena Bay at 3m depth. The file contains one spreadsheet with information on dates of sampling, depths, temperature, fragment origin, and fragment status. This metadata file was used to organize and analyze sample 16S sequences.</p>
