This dataset contains data collected in Lac Bay, Bonaire where the critical erosion threshold was measured within vegetation patches of varying seagrass species and different levels of grazing.
The dataset is split into csv files containing data from within each measured patch type (critical erosion threshold and grain size) and data about the dominant vegetation types (biomass, leaf bending properties, leaf strength).
Seagrass species measured were: Ungrazed Thalassia testudinum (T. testudinum), intermediately grazed T. testudinum intensively grazed T. testudinum, and Halophila stipulacea (H. Stipulacea)
