Sponge abundance by species on the coral reefs of St. John USVI from photoquadrats taken between 1992 and 2017

Sponge abundances on the shallow coral reefs of St. John from 1992-2017. Data were extracted from legacy photoquadrats that are part of an ongoing time series, and sponge abundances were expressed as number per quadrat (“Abundance”). Data are presented by taxon, and support Table 1, Figure 4, 5 and S1 in the paper published in Marine Biology (Edumunds et al., 2020).

Other datasets from Edmunds et al. (2020) are listed on the page https://www.bco-dmo.org/related-resource/819411.

自1992年至2017年，圣约翰浅水珊瑚礁中海绵的丰度数据。数据源自于长期时间序列研究的一部分，即历史照片四分格，其中海绵的丰度以每个四分格的数量表示（“丰度”）。数据按物种分类呈现，并支持论文《海洋生物学》中第1表、第4、5图及S1部分（Edumunds等，2020年）。Edumunds等（2020年）的其他数据集可在https://www.bco-dmo.org/related-resource/819411网页上查阅。
