General Information
Data Package:
Local Identifier:knb-lter-sbc.57.13
Title:SBC LTER: Reef: Macroalgal photosynthetic parameters
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

These data tables contain the laboratory-derived values for photosynthetic parameters (Pmax, alpha, and dark respiration) for 22 taxa of understory macroalgae and juvenileMacrocystis pyrifera. Photosynthetic parameters can be combined with field data on algal abundance and irradiance to estimate net primary production for the understory macroalgal community.

Description:

Understory macroalgal assemblages are important sources of primary production in marine environments. Studies of how interactions between canopy and understory species influence the productivity of the entire community are rare, particularly in marine systems where measuring primary production of diverse assemblages of macroalgae is logistically challenging. We developed a simple model of primary production for understory macroalgae that relates species-specific light use relationships measured in the laboratory to biomass and light levels measured in nature. See the details in the protocol below.

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.
