Wake Atoll Biosecurity Shipping Container Grow-Out Experiment -Silver Fern Cover, 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 trays and monitored for plant germination for seven months during 2020-2021. This dataset provides a single time point visual estimate of percent cover of silver fern approximately four months after debris was sown in grow-out trays.
