Wake Atoll Biosecurity Shipping Container Grow-Out Experiment Plant Species Counts, 2020-2021
During 2018, USGS staff collected debris from the floors of 30 shipping containers located in Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu and destined for Wake Atoll as part of a study to understand biosecurity risks associated with overseas transport. The debris was sown in grow-out trays and monitored for plant germination for seven months during 2020-2021. Grow-out trays were monitored 12 times throughout the study. This dataset includes counts of seedlings identified to species during each of the 12 monitoring sessions during the seven month grow-out experiment. The dataset includes survey dates, tray numbers, plant scientific names, and seedling counts within trays.
