Abstract:

This data set contains data from an experiment in which green turtle grazing was simulated in a Thalassia testudinum seagrass meadow in The Bahamas from July 1999 until December 2000. Measurements of water temperature and salinity were collected weekly. Seagrass meadow physical characteristics--blade length, blade width, number of blades per shoot, shoot density, and leaf area index--along with growth rates (both linear growth and production) were measured at various temporal intervals. Measurements were made in each of three treatments: 1) an unclipped reference treatment (representing ungrazed seagrass) in which measurements began in July 1999, 2) an experimentally clipped treatment (representing grazing) in which measurements began in July 1999, and 3) an experimentally clipped treatment (representing grazing) in which measurements began in February 2000. Data were used to investigate relationships between water temperature and salinity on seagrass growth and physical characteristics and how these relationships are affected by green turtle grazing.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

Simulated Grazing - Grazing was simulated in experimental plots (n = 20; 15 summer- and 5 winter-initiated plots) by clipping all seagrass blades within the plot area at the blade-sheath junction with scissors (Moran and Bjorndal 2005) resulting in shoot heights ~2 cm above the sediment surface. To mimic the natural grazing regime of green turtles in this region, blades were re-clipped each time mean blade length within a plot reached 5 cm (range of 12 – 37 days depending on growth conditions), and all clipped blades were collected and removed to simulate green turtle consumption and removal of seagrass biomass and nutrients (Bjorndal 1980; Ogden 1980). Rhizomes were severed around the edge of each clipped plot at the beginning of the experiment, and thereafter every 6 – 8 weeks, to prevent nutrient translocation into the plots as part of a separate experiment (Moran and Bjorndal 2007). To avoid possible edge effects from the surrounding ungrazed seagrass, all samples were collected from the inner 2 x 2 m area of plots leaving a 0.5 m wide buffer zone on all sides. This experimental regime was maintained for the 16-month duration of the experiment. (text borrowed from the associated publication: Johnson et al. 2022. Limnology and Oceanography)

Instrument(s):

Scissors

Description:

Water Temperature and Salinity Measurements - Environmental temperature (minimum and maximum values) and salinity were measured weekly. Temperatures were recorded from a minimum-maximum thermometer permanently deployed at seagrass canopy height at one location within each block of plots, and thermometers were re-set each week after reading. Salinity values were measured from a water sample collected near each thermometer at seagrass canopy height using a hand-held refractometer calibrated before each use. (text borrowed from the associated publication: Johnson et al. 2022. Limnology and Oceanography)

Instrument(s):

Min. - Max. Thermometer, Refractometer

Description:

Seagrass Physical Characteristic Measurements - Seagrass structural characteristics (blade length, blade width, shoot density, number of blades per shoot) were measured in all plots prior to the initiation of clipping and every two weeks thereafter. Shoot density and number of blades per shoot were measured in situ from three randomly placed 25 x 25 cm quadrats (0.0625 m2) in each plot, and blade morphometry (length and width) was measured in situ from 30 randomly selected blades in each plot. Structural characteristics were then used to calculate one-sided leaf area index (often abbreviated as LAI) (Enríquez and Pantoja-Reyes 2005)—a measure of the available photosynthetic leaf area within one square meter of meadow. (text borrowed from the associated publication: Johnson et al. 2022. Limnology and Oceanography)

Instrument(s):

Quadrats

Description:

Aboveground Seagrass Biomass Measurements - Aboveground biomass was measured in all plots prior to the initiation of clipping by collecting all seagrass blades from within three randomly placed 25 x 25 cm quadrats (0.0625 m2). Biomass was measured in this same manner throughout the experiment in reference plots at two, six, eleven, and sixteen months. Following the initiation of clipping, biomass in clipped plots was measured using all blades collected from the inner 4 m2 area of each plot at each clipping event (when mean blade length reached 5 cm). For each plot, collected blades were cleaned of epiphytes and rinsed with seawater in the laboratory, and dry mass was measured after drying at 60 ℃ to constant weight. (text borrowed from the associated publication: Johnson et al. 2022. Limnology and Oceanography)

Instrument(s):

Quadrats, Drying Oven

Description:

Seagrass Linear Growth Rate Measurements - Linear growth rates (i.e. vertical blade growth) were measured using different methods for clipped and reference treatments, so as to avoid repeated destructive sampling within reference plots (Moran and Bjorndal 2005). Since all blades in clipped plots were clipped at the blade-sheath junction at each clipping event, linear growth rates (mm d-1) were calculated from the measured blade length of 30 randomly selected blades from each plot at the time of clipping (since all tissue was new growth) divided by the number of days since the previous clipping event. Linear growth in reference plots was estimated using the leaf staple method (Zieman 1974) throughout the experiment at roughly two-week intervals. A staple was placed just above the blade-sheath junction in 30 randomly selected blades in each reference plot, and after roughly two weeks (mean 13 days) the new growth between the staple and the blade-sheath junction was measured and divided by the number of days since stapling. (text borrowed from the associated publication: Johnson et al. 2022. Limnology and Oceanography)

Description:

Seagrass Production Measurements - Rates of mass growth (i.e., production) were measured using different methods for clipped and reference treatments. Production (g DM m-2 d-1) in clipped plots was measured at the time of each clipping event, and the dry mass of all blades collected from the inner 4 m2 of each plot (then standardized to 1 m2) was divided by the number of days since the previous clipping event. To avoid repeated destructive sampling in reference plots, rates of production were estimated from other measured metrics using the equation: ((SD × BPS × AG × MPA)) / days where SD and BPS are shoot density and blades-per-shoot, respectively. AG is blade area growth (mm2 blade-1 d-1) and was calculated using the mean linear growth rate and blade width for each plot following each growth interval. MPA is mass per area of blade (g mm-2), which is a measure of the mass of one square millimeter of seagrass blade tissue, and can be used to estimate production when blade area growth (AG) is known. MPA was calculated for each clipped plot following clipping events using measured blade length, blade width, blades per shoot, shoot density, and aboveground biomass, and these values of MPA were used to estimate reference plot production assuming MPA to be equivalent for clipped and unclipped blades.
