attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String We measured recruitment of fishes and crabs to artificial and natural seagrass\nbeds in Back Sound, North Carolina from June to August 2018.\\u00a0 We sampled\n26 artificial seagrass landscapes defined by 18m x 13m landscape extents (234\nm2). Within each landscape, we varied habitat amount and fragmentation\nindependently in a crossed design. We created a custom algorithm to generate\nrandom landscapes using the randomHabitat function in the secr package in R\n(Efford 2018, R Core Team 2018). Landscapes were generated along two\northogonal axes of habitat cover (10-60%) and fragmentation using a random\nmodified clusters method (percolation probability = 0.10-0.59 which determines\npatch number; higher percolation coefficients correspond to less\npatchiness)(Saura and Martinez-Millan 2000). Landscapes were constrained to\nfall within 2% of the area input parameter, while holding patch number similar\nwithin fragmentation levels (1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, or 8-10 patches for each\nlevel). Using this approach, we constructed landscapes in which seagrass area\nand number of patches were uncorrelated (R = -0.02), allowing us to\nindependently assess the effects of seagrass area and habitat configuration on\nfish communities across experimental study sites. Artificial seagrass units\n(ASUs) were used to create artificial seagrass landscapes.\\u00a0 ASUs were\nmade by tying green plastic ribbon to polyethylene mesh cut into 1.2m x 0.86m\nrectangles, with ~450, 15 cm tall shoots (with 2 blades each) attached each\nunit. ASUs were deployed by affixing ASUs in designated configurations to bare\nsediment using metal lawn staples. These artificial landscapes were deployed\nbetween May 23 to May 31, 2018.\\u00a0 We compared the artificial seagrass\nlandscapes to natural landscapes in the same area.\\u00a0 We sampled 18\nhaphazardly selected natural seagrass patches that were at least 100 m away\nfrom the artificial seagrass landscapes.\n \nWe used Standardized Monitoring Units for Reef Fishes (SMURFs, Ammann 2004) to\nmeasure recruitment of fishes and invertebrates into each landscape.\\u00a0\nSMURFs used in this study were 60 x 15 x 20 cm in size with an outer shell\nmade from 5 cm x 7.6 cm polyethylene mesh.\\u00a0 Each SMURF was filled with\ncrumpled 2.5 x 2.5 cm polyethylene mesh and plastic mesh produce bags\n([https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWL1YFT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_J9TzCbZZ5GKR6](\\\\\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWL1YFT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_J9TzCbZZ5GKR6\\\\\")).\nFor deployment, SMURFs were deployed attached to the bottom at one end, but\nfloated vertically in the water column.\\u00a0 SMURFs were deployed for ~24hrs,\nincluding overnight, and collected before noon on the following day (pick-up\ntimes are included in the data).\\u00a0 Upon retrieval, the SMURF was enclosed\nin a custom made BINKE net (Anderson and Carr 1998) made out of 1.5 mm square\nnylon netting.\\u00a0 The SMURF was brought to the boat within the enclosed\nBINKE net and placed into a large plastic tub.\\u00a0 It was shaken vigorously\nwhile being rinsed with buckets of seawater and then the rinse water in the\ntub was visually inspected for organisms which we collected, placed in a\nresealable plastic bag, and quickly froze in an ice and seawater slurry. This\nprocess was repeated until three successive rinses yielded no new\norganisms.\\u00a0 The water in the tub was passed through a 1 mm mesh sieve to\nensure no organisms remained in the tub. All organisms were returned to the\nlab for processing. Each landscape was sampled on 9 different dates between\nJune and August, representing the major recruitment period for most fishes in\nthis system.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String Habitat Fragmentation
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String Amount and quality of habitat is thought to be of fundamental importance to maintaining coastal marine ecosystems. This research will use large-scale field experiments to help understand how and why fish populations respond to fragmentation of seagrass habitats. The question is complex because increased fragmentation in seagrass beds decreases the amount and also the configuration of the habitat (one patch splits into many, patches become further apart, the amount of edge increases, etc). Previous work by the investigators in natural seagrass meadows provided evidence that fragmentation interacts with amount of habitat to influence the community dynamics of fishes in coastal marine landscapes. Specifically, fragmentation had no effect when the habitat was large, but had a negative effect when habitat was smaller. In this study, the investigators will build artificial seagrass habitat to use in a series of manipulative field experiments at an ambitious scale. The results will provide new, more specific information about how coastal fish community dynamics are affected by changes in overall amount and fragmentation of seagrass habitat, in concert with factors such as disturbance, larval dispersal, and wave energy. The project will support two early-career investigators, inform habitat conservation strategies for coastal management, and provide training opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students. The investigators plan to target students from underrepresented groups for the research opportunities.\nBuilding on previous research in seagrass environments, this research will conduct a series of field experiments approach at novel, yet relevant scales, to test how habitat area and fragmentation affect fish diversity and productivity. Specifically, 15 by 15-m seagrass beds will be created using artificial seagrass units (ASUs) that control for within-patch-level (~1-10 m2) factors such as shoot density and length. The investigators will employ ASUs to manipulate total habitat area and the degree of fragmentation within seagrass beds in a temperate estuary in North Carolina. In year one, response of the fishes that colonize these landscapes will be measured as abundance, biomass, community structure, as well as taxonomic and functional diversity. Targeted ASU removals will then follow to determine species-specific responses to habitat disturbance. In year two, the landscape array and sampling regime will be doubled, and half of the landscapes will be seeded with post-larval fish of low dispersal ability to test whether pre- or post-recruitment processes drive landscape-scale patterns. In year three, the role of wave exposure (a natural driver of seagrass fragmentation) in mediating fish community response to landscape configuration will be tested by deploying ASU meadows across low and high energy environments.
