Description

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Bleached and unbleached Acropora cervicornis fragments were measured for total linear extension immediately after being collected from nursery block platforms and after three months. The number of branches formed on each fragment was also recorded.

Deployment-specific acquisition description

These locations were from a single site, actually. 24.868, -80.643
