Percentages of fine grains (black), carbonates (gray) and TOM (white) of samples from each transect around Sebastião Gomes reef.
Source publication
Erosion on coral reefs produces fragments of the constructor organisms that are scattered all around, thus enlarging the reef boundaries. Statistical modelling approach was used to investigate whether the Polychaeta community around Sebastião Gomes reef (Abrolhos Bank, Brazil) is influenced equally by sediment characteristics and/or by position rel...

Context 1
... sediment distribution pattern corresponded to expectations, i.e., near the reef, sediment contained more carbonate and was coarser, except on transect S (Figure 3). Axis 1 of PCA explained 91.1% of the total variance of the data and its positive values (hereinafter referred to as the "Sed" variable) represented carbonate sediment stations near the reef while the negative values represented higher percentages of fine grains and TOM (Figure 4). ...
