Project: The influence of predators on community structure and resultant ecosystem functioning at a biogeographic scale (Oyster_Trophic_Cascades)

Oyster reef cages containing either bivalves, consumers or predators were set up along the southeastern US coast from N. Carolina to Florida. This dataset includes intitial and final oyster shell size and evaluation of shell damage.
