log in | [Pre-experiment Urchin Barren Characterization] - (CAREER: Energy fluxes and community stability in a dynamic, high-latitude kelp ecosystem) | Before experimental manipulation with caged Pycnopodia helianthoides presence, we characterized ambient density, gonad index, and size distributions of urchin communities ( Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis and Mesocentrotus franciscanus) in three replicate urchin barrens in Sitka Sound, AK (57°2'1\"N 135°15'51\"W) from February 11-20, 2023. Via SCUBA we conducted swath surveys where grazers were identified, counted, measured (test diameter), and randomly collected for gonad dissections. These surveys serve as a baseline to describe these sites as true barrens and to compare experimental results to.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nlatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (Long, degrees_east)\nSite (unitless)\ntime (Iso_datetime, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\nDate (unitless)\ntime_unitless (Time, unitless)\nDiver (unitless)\nMeter_marks (unitless)\nSpecies (unitless)\nScientific_Name (unitless)\nCount (individual)\nArea_m2 (meters squared (m2))\nDensity_m2 (meters squared (m-2))\nnotes (unitless)\n | BCO-DMO | bcodmo_dataset_942763_v1 | ||||||||||||

Via SCUBA we performed quadrat density surveys of three important kelp forest grazers (Haliotis kamtschatkana, Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis, and Mesocentrotus franciscanus) at discrete distances from the cage before, 15-30 min after, and 24 hours after P. helianthoides were added to the treatment cages.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nQuadID (unitless)\nRayID (unitless)\nSite (unitless)\nlatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (Long, degrees_east)\nTreatment (unitless)\nReplicate (unitless)\nTreatRep (unitless)\nRay (unitless)\nDate (unitless)\nDiver (unitless)\nSurvey (unitless)\nTimePoint (units needed)\nHoursElapsed (hours)\ndepth_f (Depth_ft, feet (ft))\ndepth (Depth_m, m)\nQuad (unitless)\nDist_m (meters (m))\nSpecies (unitless)\nCount (individual)\nDensity_m2 (meters squared (m2))\nNotes (unitless)\n | BCO-DMO | bcodmo_dataset_942725_v1 |
