Full description

Data from the Upa Upasina CO2 seep benthic gradients manuscript. Here we established 37 monitoring sites along a gradient of increasing CO2, from ambient areas adjacent to the seep into areas of dense seeping activity. Carbon chemistry was charcterised at each station and a series of surveys were conducted to characterise the benthos. We conducted point intercept photosurveys of reef communities and collected algal samples for biomass estimates.

Lineage

Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement: Coral reef community benthic cover estimates from the station quadrats were based on point counts from photos. Algal samples were collected, dried and weighed to determine biomass. Refer to manuscript methods section for more information.
