The data summary data presented here represents the mean percent cover of the indicator species at the site. Sampling is conducted annually between the months of May-October, so the Time data in this file is July 1 of each year (a nominal value). The actual measurements were taken at various depths, so the Depth data in this file is the depth of the station's temperature logger, which is a typical depth.
