ReefSYN | Standardized datasets of Brazilian reef diversity in space and time - Dataset XII: Benthic communities’ monitoring in Abrolhos Bank

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. Data from the Abrolhos Bank was collected by several collaborators under the coordination of Ronaldo Francini-Filho from 2001 to 2014. The data was obtained with support from Conservation International (CI) and FAPESP between 2001 and 2005, and exclusively by CI from 2006 to 2009, within the Marine Management Areas Science Program. Between 2010-2014, RBFF continued to coordinate the Abrolhos monitoring program within the Abrolhos-SISBIOTA project (under general coordination of Dr. Alex Bastos) (see Francini-Filho & Moura 2008, Francini-Filho et al. 2013, 2019, Roos et al. 2020). This dataset includes samples of five locations and 28 localities nested within locations, but not evenly distributed in space. Depth of sampling varied among localities and ranged between 2 and 15 m.
