Summary

This dataset contains results from experiments comparing reef-associated community colonization among oyster reef and sand habitats in Quonochontaug Pond, Rhode Island, USA. Experimental sampling trays were deployed and assigned to four experimental treatments. Trays were deployed by divers on SCUBA on July 10, 2018 (summer) and September 7, 2018 (fall) and were leveled with the surrounding substrate by carefully excavating the surrounding reef material (interior treatment) or sediment (edge, shell, and sand treatments). After 28-29 days, divers collected the trays and associated fauna were measured. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'.
