Temporal and Spatial variability of coral recruitment on WA reefs

From 1995 extensive data of coral recruitment was collected from WA reefs. Reefs include Scott Reef, Rowley Shoals, Dampier Archipelago, Ningaloo. Data were collected using terracotta plates mounted onto the reef substratum.自1995年起，研究团队从西澳大利亚（Western Australia，简称WA）海域的珊瑚礁中采集了大量珊瑚幼体补充（coral recruitment）相关数据。本次调研覆盖的珊瑚礁包括斯科特礁（Scott Reef）、罗利浅滩（Rowley Shoals）、丹皮尔群岛（Dampier Archipelago）以及宁格鲁（Ningaloo）。数据采集工作通过将陶土片（terracotta plates）安装固定于珊瑚礁底质（reef substratum）上完成。
