  • This dataset provides estimates of seasonal net primary production (NPP) for all taxa of macroalgae sampled in fixed plots at SBC LTER's long-term kelp removal experiment sites. NPP of understory taxa are calculated using field measurements of irradiance and biomass (derived from abundance) and laboratory estimates of taxon-specific photosynthetic parameters. NPP for the giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, is calculated using linear relationships between frond density in a given season and average NPP for that season. Importantly, estimates for understory species include production lost as dissolved exudates while estimates of NPP for giant kelp do not.
