LTR - Percent Cover Point Contact

<p>Reef composition was surveyed on all 192 reefs between years 2003-2005. The Focal Point Contact (Point Contact) method was used to determine the major substrate types that occupy each reef. Beginning in 2012, reefs 129-144 were used for a manipulative experiment; data beginning in 2012 for these reefs can be found in the project “Spatial patterns of coral-vermetid interactions: short-term effects and long-term consequences.” These data are meant to verify visual cover estimates at each reef (found in the dataset “Percent Visual Cover”).</p>

自2003年至2005年，对192个珊瑚礁进行了礁体组成调查。采用焦点接触法（Point Contact）确定了占据每个珊瑚礁的主要基质类型。自2012年起，对礁体129至144进行了操控实验；从2012年开始，这些礁体的数据可在项目“珊瑚与韦梅特类动物交互作用的空间模式：短期效应与长期后果”中找到。这些数据旨在验证每个珊瑚礁的视觉覆盖率估计（可在数据集“视觉覆盖率百分比”中找到）。
