Full description
This data was collected to test whether ecological function, measured as browsing and grazing herbivory, is affected by marine reserves and connectivity between reefs and mangroves. The data includes: 1. Herbivore biomass, calculated as the weight of each herbivorous fish species on each UVC transect conducted at each of 15 reefs; 2. Turf grazing rates, for each deployment at each of reef; 3. Macroalgae browsing rates, for each deployment at each of reef; and 4. Water quality data, including salinity, turbidity, total nitrogen and a water quality index, for each reef. The results of these data are published in "Resource type influences the effects of reserves and connectivity on ecological functions" in Journal of Animal Ecology in 2015.Issued: 2015
