Abstract
This dataset uses historical photographs to reconstruct the history of Endocladia's upper range limit over the past century. Over the last 104 years, the climate has changed more - or-less gradually, with the most noteworthy change being a 24 cm increase in the sea level at HMS. The upper limit of Endocladia rose in conjunction with the rising sea level. However, most of Endocladia's range increase happened during the 7 years between 1963 and 1970. Thus, the history of the range edge consists of three periods: the range was relatively stable between 1897 and 1963; then between 1963 and 1970, the range extended upward dramatically; and since 1970, the range has again remained constant. Dataset consists of images from Luke Hunt's Dissertation
