1 |
Site |
The unordered nominal specific ID number of each discrete sampling site. |
2 |
Year |
The ordered nominal year in which the data was collected at a specific site. |
4 |
Date |
The ordered nominal date on which the data was collected at a specific site. |
3 |
Species |
The unordered nominal species ID number. This number denotes a discrete taxonomic species (E.g. "Tethya aurantia" or "Haliotis rufescens"). More finely, this ID number may refer to a particular lifecycle stage or size class of a discrete species (E.g. Giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, is broken into size and age classes "Giant kelp, juvenile (less than 1m in height)"). |
5 |
Replicates |
The number of replicates sampled at a specific site in a specific year. |
6 |
AreaPerReplicate |
The area sampled for each replicate in square meters. |
7 |
DensityMean |
The continuous numeric mean density of each species per square meter at a specific site in a specific year. |
8 |
DensitySE |
The continuous numeric standard error of the density or each species per square meter at a specific site in a specific year, calculated across replicates. |
