Description
This dataset is part of a broader compilation named 'Standardized datasets of Brazilian reef diversity in space and time' created from a research network of reef scientists within several projects and collaborations and finally gathered and published by the ReefSYN group.
This dataset was compiled by Erika Santana, Anaide W. Aued, and Ronaldo Francini-Filho, and consists of data on benthic organisms sampled in photoquadrats deployed in several locations disposed along the Brazilian coast and oceanic islands (see Santana et al. 2023). This dataset is complementary to the dataset of Aued et al. (2018). Aued AW, Smith F, Quimbayo JP, Cândido DV, Longo GO, Ferreira CEL, … Segal B (2018). Large-scale patterns of benthic marine communities in the Brazilian Province. PLoS ONE, 13(6), e0198452. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0198452.

Geographic Description
This dataset was compiled by Erika Santana, Anaide W. Aued, and Ronaldo Francini-Filho, and consists of data on benthic organisms sampled in photoquadrats deployed in several locations disposed along the Brazilian coast and oceanic islands (see Santana et al. 2023). This dataset is complementary to the dataset of Aued et al. (2018).
Methods
Data was collected using photoquadrats of different sizes, described in Aued et al. (2018). and Santana et al. (2023). Benthic organisms were identified at different taxonomic levels (morphotype, species, order). Morphotypes were adapted from Steneck and Dethier (1994) whereby algae are grouped according to morpho-anatomical characteristics. However, morphotype, bare substrate, sediment, lost information (shade, quadrat, tape) and turf were not included in the data because they do not represent taxonomic entities in which DCS standards are based.. Image processing was done using the Coral Point Count with Excel extensions software (CPCe v. 4.1) (Kohler and Gill, 2006).
