Physical conditions during coral reef surveys of St. John, US Virgin Islands, from 1989-2014
收藏资源简介：
<p>Benthic coral reef communities were monitored on the south shore of St. John. In 1992, six sites were selected using random coordinates constrained to hard bottom on fringing reefs (< 9-m depth) between Cabritte Horn and White Point, and were permanently marked. Three sites (RS5, RS11 and RS15) resemble gorgonian plains, but the remainder have greater topographic complexity than gorgonian plains due to the presence of igneous boulders and cliffs.</p> <p>The entire Excel Workbook, which contains two additional datasets (Community Structure: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/750459 and Coral Reef Abundance: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/750513), can be downloaded from https://datadocs.bco-dmo.org/docs/302/St_John_LTREB/data_docs/Data_for_Paper_Metadata_copy.xls. </p>
