Data from Importance of the local environment on skeletal structural integrity of coralline algae (Rhodophyta) around the UK_Marine Ecological Progress Series

The data here was used in the publication Melbourne et al, 2021, 'Importance of the local environment on skeletal structural integrity of coralline algae (Rhodophyta) around the UK ', Marine Ecological Progress Series (submitted). This paper focused on the spatial and temporal variability of the structural integrity of rhodoliths (free-living forms of coralline algae) from around the UK. This dataset is part of a wider dataset for the PhD thesis of Leanne Melbourne titled 'The effect of environmental change on the structure, composition and subsequently the structural integrity of un-attached corallines'.
