Description

Data are from an herbivore exclusion experiment in a mangrove die-off area.

Methods & Sampling

Count data was collected by the same person for each parameter during both sampling years. This study was conducted on Abaco Island in the Bahamas.

Data Processing Description

This data has been analyzed using a split plot ANOVA design and simple linear regression in R.

BCO-DMO Data Processing Notes:
-Separated dates into year and month columns
-reformatted column names to comply with BCO-DMO standards
