Species-level responses of corals to a 2016 mass bleaching event in Australia

Achived photoquadrats are available from Reef Life Survey (RLS) surveys undertaken before and after a 2016 bleaching event at all major coral reef systems in Australia. This collection was analysed by experts to annotate coral cover to the highest possible taxonomic resolution for ~40,000 images.

Specific Australian Marine Parks included are Ashmore Reef, Mermaid Reef and Coral Sea.

NOTE: The high resolution coral taxonomic identification data has been assimilated into the larger global RLS photoquadrats data collection, currently held by AODN. This data is intended to be published before the end of 2020. Once published, the subset of annotation data generated by this project will be published as an excerpt attached to this record.

存档摄影样方（photoquadrats）数据可获取自澳大利亚所有主要珊瑚礁系统在2016年珊瑚白化事件前后开展的礁生物调查（Reef Life Survey, RLS）项目。该数据集由专家进行分析，对约4万张图像中的珊瑚覆盖度完成了最高分类学分辨率水平的注释标注。

本次纳入的澳大利亚海洋保护区包括阿什莫尔礁、美人鱼礁与珊瑚海海域。

注意：本项目的高精度珊瑚分类鉴定数据已被整合至目前由澳大利亚海洋数据网络（Australian Ocean Data Network, AODN）托管的全球RLS摄影样方数据集合集中。该合集计划于2020年底前正式发布。待其上线后，本项目生成的注释数据子集将以附件节选的形式随本记录一同公开。
