Plant composition in coastal foredunes of Florida and Georgia undergoing recovery from hurricane Irma, 2017

This dataset presents plant percentage cover by species, average plant cover and species richness for sites along the foredune area of sites distributed between Cape Canaveral (Florida) and Tybee Island (Georgia), USA. Plant cover by species was sampled on three occasions using 0.5 x 0.5m quadrats distributed along 3 transects at up to 28 sites. Observations were conducted in February 2018, July 2018, and January 2019. The coastline was impacted by Hurricane Irma in October 2017 and the data were collected to look at plant composition in coastal foredunes undergoing recovery from the hurricane. The data were collected as part of NERC grant NE/R016593/1, Resilience of a coastal ecosystem following hurricane Irma.

Statement
Field surveys were conducted in the foredune area of sites distributed between Cape Canaveral (Florida) and Tybee Island (Georgia), USA. The coastline was impacted by hurricane Irma in October 2017. At each site, transects perpendicular to the shoreline were positioned at ~50m intervals at locations subjectively judged to be representative of the site. At 1m intervals along each transect, from the crest of the foredune to the upper beach, the percentage cover of each plant species was estimated visually within a 0.5 x 0.5m quadrat. The total percentage cover was the sum of all individual species’ covers within a quadrat.
