Abstract

Abundance of soft corals (number per quadrat [0.25 m2]), stony corals (% cover), macroalgae (% cover), and CTB (a combined group of crustose coralline algae, algal turf, and bare space, % cover) on the shallow coral reefs of St. John from 1992-2017. Data are presented by taxon or functional group, and support Figure 6 in the paper published in Marine Biology (Edumunds et al., 2020).
