Title:SBC LTER: Reef: Long-term experiment: Taxon-specific seasonal net primary production (NPP) for macroalgae
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

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.

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.
