Wake Atoll Biosecurity Shipping Container Grow-Out Experiment -Silver Fern Cover, 2020-2021
Description
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.
