Abstract:

This dataset contains aggregated observations of predation and herbivory on tethered bait in each quadrat of sites around the Rowley River and the south side of Sawyer Island at the Plum Island LTER. Measurements consist of the consumption status of tethered squid or kelp pieces as a measure of energy transfer between trophic levels. Pieces were left in the field for five days and observers recorded the status of bait over time as either entirely missing, partially consumed, having scrape marks, or fully intact. These measurements can be used to calculate consumption rates (i.e. energy transfer) over time. Notes include fields discussing any additional observations - e.g., if a stick was found missing.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

3x3cm pieces of dried squid and kelp were attached to wooden dowls via transparent fishing line. Dowels were inserted inot the substrate of the upper right hand corner of each quadrat so that the squid and kelp rest on the substrae. Both were placed far enough from each other so as not to overlap. Bait checks were done daily and status was noted (W,M,P,S). See HTL-RO-ST-MAR-Sites for site description.

Abstract: 

The Plum Island Ecosystems (PIE) LTER is developing a predictive understanding of the response of a linked watershed-marsh-estuarine system in northeastern Massachusetts to rapid environmental change. Over the last 30 years, surface sea water temperatures in the adjacent Gulf of Maine have risen at 3 times the global average, rates of sea-level rise have accelerated, and precipitation has increased. Coupled with these changes in climate and sea level are substantial changes within the rapidly urbanizing watersheds that influence water, sediment, and nutrient delivery to the marsh and estuary. In PIE IV our focus is on: Dynamics of coastal ecosystems in a region of rapid climate change, sea-level rise, and human impacts.
