Wake Atoll Biosecurity Shipping Container Grow-Out Experiment -Monocots and Dicots, 2020-2021

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 in 2020-2021. This dataset provides a count of monocot and dicot plants that germinated from the container debris during a grow-out experiment over seven months. Growing trays were monitored 12 times throughout the study. The dataset includes a count of germinated seedlings by plant group (monocot and dicot) at each of the 12 monitoring sessions broken up by new seedlings and those still alive and counted in previous surveys
