The dataset and associated methodology, published in 2017, provide a formal method for integrating pre-existing time-series observation sites into new ecological survey designs. It proposes a spatially balanced sampling approach to reduce uncertainty in population estimates while leveraging legacy data for temporal analysis. The method is illustrated with a proposed survey of a large marine reserve in South-Eastern Australia and is implemented in the publicly available R package MBHdesign.
The primary artifact is a methodological framework and software package; the specific accompanying dataset (e.g., simulation results, reserve coordinates) is not described in detail.
