Close-range underwater photogrammetry for coral reef ecology: a systematic literature review
Close-range underwater photogrammetry, hereafter referred to as photogrammetry, is rapidly emerging as a new standard in measuring and monitoring coral reefs due to its potential to record colony- and habitat-...

Fine-scale time series surveys reveal new insights into spatio-temporal trends in coral cover (2002–2018), of a coral reef on the Southern Great Barrier Reef
Reef monitoring programmes often focus on limited sites, predominantly on reef slope areas, which do not capture compositional variability across zones. This study assessed spatial and temporal changes in hard...

Open AccessBenthic and coral reef community field data for Heron Reef, Southern Great Barrier Reef, Australia, 2002–2018
This paper describes benthic coral reef community composition point-based field data sets derived from georeferenced photoquadrats using machine learning. Annually over a 17 year period (2002–2018), data were ...

Open AccessAustralian vegetated coastal ecosystems as global hotspots for climate change mitigation
Policies aiming to preserve vegetated coastal ecosystems (VCE; tidal marshes, mangroves and seagrasses) to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions require national assessments of blue carbon resources. Here, we pres...

Seagrass Organic Carbon Stocks Show Minimal Variation Over Short Time Scales in a Heterogeneous Subtropical Seascape
Blue carbon initiatives require accurate monitoring of carbon stocks. We examined sources of variability in seagrass organic carbon (Corg) stocks, contrasting spatial with short temporal scales. Seagrass morpholo...

Australian Seagrass Seascapes: Present Understanding and Future Research Directions
Seagrass seascapes are 100s m2 to 1000s of km2 coastal regions in nearshore, sandy to muddy benthic environments that are characterized by the presence of seagrasses. Here we explore the development of seagrass s...

Open AccessSeagrass morphometrics at species level in Moreton Bay, Australia from 2012 to 2013
Seagrass above, below and total biomass, density and leaf area, length and width were quantified at a species level for 122 sites over three sampling periods in Moreton Bay, Australia. Core samples were collec...
