PELD - ILOC | ReefSYN - Standardized datasets of Brazilian reef diversity in space and time - Dataset XVI: Benthic communities from Rio Grande do Norte
PELD - ILOC | Monitoramento de Longa Duração das Comunidades Recifais das Ilhas Oceânicas Brasileiras
Description
This dataset was collected by Guilherme Longo and Natália Roos, and includes the relative benthic cover of reef formations in northeast coast of Brazil (Rio Grande do Norte state) sampled with photoquadrats along transects at different depths.
Geographic Description
This data is relative to seven reefs along the Rio Grande do Norte coast (Brazil).
Methods
These data were used in the same publication indicated in the fish monitoring data (Roos et al. 2019). Since then, the Marine Ecology Laboratory Team https://twitter.com/MarineEcoBR) continued monitoring two localities within the shallow patchy reefs from the municipality of Rio do Fogo with this same method until August 2023. As more images are processed and temporal data are generated, these will be organized accordingly and added to this repository.

Each belt transect had 10 photos, which were analyzed with the software ‘photoQuad’ (Trygonis and Sini 2012) by randomly laying 30 points over the phoquadrat area. The organisms below each point were identified into morpho-functional groups, and to species or genus level when possible. This dataset contains 285 photoquadrats (benthic data gathered around UVCs of dataset VIII) between 2016 and 2017 at seven distinct locations.
