Recovery of algal communities from human disturbance

This data is from an experiment investigating the recovery of disturbed areas of Hormosira banskii. This experiment was done at 3 sites within Bunurong Marine Park from May 1990 to December 1991. Quadrats were disturbed by removing as much H.banksii as possible by hand and then scuffing the area to remove most remaining fronds. Variables measured in each quadrat were the percent cover of H.banksii and other non-turfing algae and the number of gastropods.

本数据集源自一项研究霍氏泡叶藻（Hormosira banskii）扰动区域恢复状况的实验。该实验于1990年5月至1991年12月期间，在布努龙海洋公园（Bunurong Marine Park）内的3个样地开展。实验人员通过人工移除样方内尽可能多的霍氏泡叶藻，随后刮擦该区域以去除大部分残留藻体，完成样方的扰动处理。本次实验对每个样方测定的变量包括：霍氏泡叶藻与其他非垫状藻类的盖度百分比，以及腹足类动物的个体数量。
