Title: Carbonate budget methods comparison at Cheeca Rocks (Florida, USA) (NCEI Accession 0305035)
Abstract: Carbonate budget assessments quantify changes to reef habitat structure by measuring the cover of habitat altering taxa (calcifies and eroders) and assimilating literature-reported carbonate production/erosion rates, ultimately yielding estimates of net carbonate production. This dataset was used to test the efficacy of our novel site-level Photogrammetry-Based Carbonate Budgets (PBCB) technique by performing a methods comparison at Cheeca Rocks (Florida, USA). The PBCB-derived carbonate budget results were compared to two established transect-based methods: in-water ReefBudget surveys and a modified large-area imagery technique. The ‘carbonateBudget’ csv file includes percent cover of prominent benthic taxa, carbonate production/erosion of habitat altering taxa (coral, CCA, microborers, macroborers, parrotfish, and urchins), the three primary components of a carbonate budget (net carbonate production, gross carbonate production, gross carbonate erosion), and site/transect rugosity. The ‘coralGenus_Data’ csv file includes percent cover and carbonate production by each coral genus observed at the study site. The ‘coralData_PBCB’ csv file includes all coral data extracted from segmented coral colonies (i.e. boundary of distinct areas of coral tissue) using the PBCB workflow. These data reveal that all three methods produce similar estimates of net carbonate production, validating the efficacy of the PBCB method to be used for future carbonate budget assessments.
