Branch extension measurements from a clipping experiment conducted on the coral Antillogorgia elisabethae at two sites in the Bahamas determined from June 1999 to June 2000
Abstract:
This dataset results from an experiment in which colonies of the coral Antillogorgia elisabethae were clipped to simulate harvesting/disturbance at 2 sites in the Bahamas, one at Great Abaco and another at San Salvador Island. This dataset includes branch extension measurements for colonies that were clipped to 10 or 4 branches or not clipped. Version 2 of this dataset, created on 2023-11-08, includes a correction to the latitude of the Abaco site.
