Abstract

This repository contains the following data and code for analyzing seagrass carbon stocks in Fiji: 1) Data from 135 soil cores collected from 47 sites across Vanua Levu, the Lau Group, and the Moala subgroup. 2) Geomorphic variables for each site derived from open-source geospatial datasets 3) Seagrass probability map for Fiji generated using Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite imagery (10m resolution) from 2022-2024 4) R scripts and associated data subsets used to examine spatial and environmental drivers of organic carbon storage in Fijian seagrass meadows
