Appendix D. Vital rates of Paramuricea clavata populations at Medes Islands and Cap de Creus over the study period.
TABLE D1. Vital rates of Paramuricea clavata populations at Medes Islands and Cap de Creus over the study period. Survival rates were estimated as the percentage of survival colonies, growth and shrink rates as the percentage of colonies that changed of size class, and recruitment rates as the percentage of new colonies over the total population (N) during each transition
