The hierarchical nature of the experimental design allowed several different approaches to analysis; by date of deployment and by date of collection of the artificial habitats, which enabled comparison of community assembly with and without the seasonal effects of the date of collection, and by community age to test whether there were alternative end-states to assembly depending on season or recruitment history. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[147.25, -43.05], [147.45, -43.05], [147.45, -42.85], [147.25, -42.85], [147.25, -43.05]]]} 147.25 147.45 -43.05 -42.85 Ecklonia radiata Kelp holdfast communities Temperate Reef DATA - Assembly data average richness [direct download] documentDigital XLS SUPPLEMENTARY INFO - List of taxa identified [direct download] documentDigital DOC PUBLICATION - Magierowski, R.H. and Johnson, C.R.
