Abstract

This dataset contains percent cover of species identified from photographs during a species resilience and recovery experiment in the rocky intertidal zone of the Oregon Coast from 2011 to 2024. Experiment/Study abstract: Climate change threatens to destabilize ecological communities, potentially moving them from persistently occupied "basins of attraction" to different states. Increasing variation in key ecological processes can signal impending state shifts in ecosystems. In a rocky inte...
