Simple Coral Quadrat Data

Description

A data_frame that can be used with the Simple Examples of Functions vignette to learn how the cleaning functions in quadcleanR work. Data was collected by the Baum Lab and Kiritimati Field Teams. Data is the uncleaned version of data found in Maucieri and Baum 2021. Biological Conservation. doi: 10.1016/j.biocon.2021.109328 The data are from photo quadrats (1m by 1m) which were randomly annotated with 100 random points each. At each of these annotated points, the substrate was identified. Photo quadrats were collected on Kiritimati Island in the Republic of Kiribati and document coral cover over time and space. The annotations and output of the data_frame were produced using CoralNet and all annotations were done manually, by trained researchers.
