SBC LTER: OCEAN: Temperature to Nitrate Lookup Tables for the Southern California Bight

General Information
Data Package:
Local Identifier:knb-lter-sbc.135.1
Title:SBC LTER: OCEAN: Temperature to Nitrate Lookup Tables for the Southern California Bight
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

This dataset is the temperature and nitrate lookup table in the southern California Bight. The temperature and nitrate measurements were compiled from three campaigns in the Southern California Bight. The temperature and nitrate data were binned in different regions (onshore, offshore, northern, central, southern, and all regions) and seasons (summer, winter, all season) for generating the lookup table. See method for details.

Abstract:

The primary research objective of the Santa Barbara Coastal LTER is to investigate the importance of land and ocean processes in structuring giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera ) forest ecosystems. As in many temperate regions, the shallow rocky reefs in the Santa Barbara Channel, California, are dominated by giant kelp forests. Because of their close proximity to shore, kelp forests are influenced by physical and biological processes occurring on land as well as in the open ocean. SBC LTER research focuses on measuring and modeling the patterns, transport, and processing of material constituents (e.g., nutrients, carbon, sediment, organisms, and pollutants) from terrestrial watersheds and the coastal ocean to these reefs. Specifically, we are examining the effects of these material inputs on the primary production of kelp, and the population dynamics, community structure, and trophic interactions of kelp forest ecosystems.
