Abstract

This dataset has been deprecated. Please see https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/719161 for updated data. This dataset contains the results of the preliminary analysis of the optical descriptors calculated for each coral fragment of the species Orbicella faveolata used in the transplant experiment between three sites: Varadero (10°18'23.3"N, 75°35'08.0"W), Rosario (10°11'12.1"N, 75°44'43.0"W) and Abanico (10°18'5.80"N, 75°34'37.10"W). The tag number/color of each fragment, the date of data collec...

DEPRECATED: This dataset has been resubmitted and combined with data originally in dataset https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/719161. Please see https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/719161 for updated data.

This dataset contains the chlorophyll-a concentration, Symbiodinium density, absorbance, and absorbance efficiency of pigments extracted from coral Orbicella faveolata fragments collected at Rosaria and Varadero reef sites, Colombia, October 2016 and May 2017.
