Spatial scaling properties of coral reef benthic communities

These files contain the percentage cover values of coral reef benthic organisms by 100m wide grids that encircle remote pacfic islands (Howland, Baker, Jarvis, Kingman and Palmyra). variable/CoralNet.code/FunctionalGroup/CoralNet.name/Genus/Morphology/Calcifier : are column headings that describe the identified benthic organism in terms of its genus, morphology and benthic category. Morphology_grouping _.2 : is the column with groupings used to classify the morphology of different corals for this study. GRID_ID : Is the number of the grid cell that the benthic data are located within. The grid cells were overlaid on top of the spatial benthic data using ArcMap software. Avg_LAT/Avg_LON : is the average lattitude and longitude of the photos contained within each grid cell Count_ : is the number of photos contained within each grid cell
