[B. elegans cold water coral lab culture: diet and nitrogen experiment] - Experimental data (coral diet and tissue d15N) from a culture experiment with scleractinian cold-water coral Balanophyllia elegans collected at Friday Harbor, WA from experiments conducted between 2019 and 2020 (Collaborative Research: Refining the use of scleractinian cold-water coral skeleton-bound d15N as a proxy for marine N cycling)

Data from a culture experiment conducted to evaluate the relationship between coral diet and tissue nitrogen isotopic ratio. These data were collected as part of the following study:

Data collected as part of this study include nitrogen isotope ratio data for coral tissue and skeleton of the scleractinian cold-water coral Balanophyllia elegans collected at Friday Harbor, WA. Data was collected between March 2019 and August 2021. These data include paired measurements of the N isotope ratio (d15N) of coral tissue and skeleton. Tissue was measured using and Elemental Analyzer (EA)-coupled Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (IRMS) and skeleton samples were first dissolved and organic nitrogen was oxidized to nitrate with persulfate before being run on a GC-IRMS with the denitrifier method. These data also include the results of two culture experiments with the same species of corals. The corals in the first culture experiment were fed Artemia diets with different known d15N in order to quantify change in the tissue d15N in response to a change in the food source and to determine the offset in d15N between the coral tissue and its diet. The starvation trial culture experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of starvation on the d15N of coral tissue. For both experiments coral tissue was analyzed using an EA-IRMS. This data also includes the d15N of the respective Artemia diets. Finally, included in this data is hydrological and particulate matter data collect at the site the corals were collected (near Friday Harbor, WA). This data includes nitrate d15N and d18O, suspended particulate organic matter d15N, net tow material d15N, and data collected from a CTD profiler. This data enhances the understanding of cold-water coral diet and trophic position. This data improves the understanding of the relationship between surface nitrate d15N and the d15N recorded in the coral skeleton which is useful for enhancing the resolution of coral d15N paleoproxies.

[Bacterial communities and relative abundances of the pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus in feces of coral reef fish] - Bacterial communities and relative abundances of the pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus in feces of coral reef fish collected on the north shore of Mo’orea, French Polynesia, Oct 2020 (CAREER: Testing the effects of predator-derived feces on host symbiont acquisition and health)

Understanding how microbial communities in consumer feces may impact ecosystem health may improve conservation and restoration efforts. To test how microbial communities in fish feces may affect coral reef health, we collected fecal samples from ten fish species, ranging from obligate corallivore to grazer/detritivore. Additionally, samples of corals, algae, sediments, and seawater were collected to test whether bacterial taxa in these samples were also represented in fish feces (N = 5-14 per fish, coral, or algae species/genus). All collections were conducted in October 2020 from the back reef (1-2 m depth) and fore reef (5-10 m depth) in Moorea, between LTER sites 1 and 2 of the Moorea Coral Reef (MCR) Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site. We conducted bacterial 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding on all samples and found that fecal communities of bacteria differed among fish guilds (obligate corallivores, facultative corallivores, grazer/detritivores). We also used real-time PCR to quantify abundances of Vibrio coralliilyticus, a known coral pathogen,  in all fecal samples. Samples were collected and processed, and data were analyzed, by the authors of Grupstra et al., 2023.

[Barnacle consumption of Nucella] - Barnacle consumption of Nucella lamellosa that either displayed behavioral or morphological fear responses or not in the presence of predators within laboratory mesocosms at Bodega Marine Lab in 2019 (Trophic consequences of ocean acidification: Intertidal sea star predators and their grazer prey)

To examine the impacts of fear removal on the strength of trophic cascades, we measured the number of barnacles (Balanus glandula) consumed by Nucella lamellosa that either displayed either an anti-predatory response to its predator Pisaster ochraceus or ignored the predator. We tested the removal of two types of anti-predatory responses, a behavioral fear response and an inducible morphological defense, to also examine how the type of fear response can influence the strength of trophic cascades. The experiment was conducted within laboratory mesocosms at Bodega Marine Lab in 2019.

[BATS primary production] - Primary productivity estimates from the incubation of seawater collected at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site from December 1988 through December 2023 (Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study)

Data presented are primary production estimates at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site in the Sargasso Sea from December 1988 (BATS Cruise 3) through December 2023 (BATS cruise 399). The rate of carbon fixation by autotrophs in seawater was determined by tracing the uptake of radioactive 14C from the inorganic form to the particulate organic form. Incubations were performed in situ at depths ranging from the surface to 140 meters from dusk to dawn. Seawater samples were collected prior to sunrise, separated into three light bottles and one dark bottle, and a radioactive 14C tracer added. The bottles were then deployed on an incubation array at their collection depths, and allowed to drift on the array for the full light day. Samples were recovered after sunset and filtered for subsequent analysis on a liquid scintillation counter.

[BATS sediment trap particle flux] - Determination of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus content in sinking particles at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site from December 1988 to December 2023 using a Particle Interceptor Trap System (PITS) (Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study)

Data presented here contain 35 years of elemental sinking fluxes of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus (C, N, P) from the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study site from December 1988 (BATS Cruise 3) through December 2023 (BATS Cruise 411). The BATS program uses a method developed by Knauer et al. (1979) which was used extensively in the VERTEX program. In summary, to trap oceanic sediment flux, BATS uses a floating array comprised of polycarbonate tubes (7 cm diameter by 53 cm height) containing a buffered brine solution, with polycarbonate filters at the bottom to collect flux. Four tubes are deployed at each depth (150, 200, and 300 meters) and three additional tubes for blank counts are prepared but not deployed. The floating sediment trap array with collection tubes is deployed during monthly BATS cruises for a target time of 72 hours, but deployment time is subject to change depending on weather and/or emergency conditions. After recovery, the filters are examined under a microscope to remove swimming zooplankton caught on the traps to prevent skewed end results. Three samples from each depth are acidified to remove inorganic carbon before measuring organic carbon and nitrogen using a CE440 Elemental Analyzer, while the remaining non-acidified sample is used for total carbon estimates. Additional tubes are also prepared and deployed (three per depth) for phosphorus samples that are analyzed at Bigelow Laboratory of Ocean Sciences using a separate analytical procedure supervised by Dr. Michael Lomas.

Increasing ocean temperatures threaten coral reefs globally, but corals residing in habitats that experience high thermal variability are thought to be better adapted to survive climate-induced heat stress. Here, we used long-term ecological observations and in situ temperature data from Heron Island, southern Great Barrier Reef to investigate how temperature dynamics within various thermally variable vs. thermally stable reef habitats change during a marine heatwave and the resulting consequences for coral community survival. This data set includes the benthic community composition data across eight sites at Heron Island, southern Great Barrier Reef.

[Benthic cover] - Benthic cover data photoquadrat images from patch reef 13 in Kāne'ohe Bay, O'ahu, Hawai'i from 2015 to 2022 (RAPID: Collaborative Research: Disentangling the effects of heat stress versus bleaching phenotype on coral performance)

Increasingly frequent marine heatwaves are devastating coral reefs. Corals that survive these extreme events must rapidly recover if they are to withstand subsequent events, and long-term survival in the face of rising ocean temperatures may hinge on recovery capacity and acclimatory gains in heat tolerance over an individual's lifespan. To better understand coral recovery trajectories in the face of successive marine heatwaves, we monitored the responses of bleaching-susceptible and bleaching-resistant individuals of two dominant coral species in Hawaiʻi, Montipora capitata and Porites compressa, over a decade that included three marine heatwaves.

This dataset contains benthic cover data and photoquadrat images including point counts and organism identifications from patch reef 13 in Kāne'ohe Bay, O'ahu, Hawai'i from 2015 to 2022.

[Benthic DO and nutrient fluxes from sediment core incubations] - Benthic dissolved oxygen and nutrient fluxes from sediment core incubations conducted aboard the R/V Oceanus and R/V Robert G. Sproul during nine cruises from 2018-2022 from the Oregon and Washington shelf (Benthic Biogeochemical Exchange Dynamics on the Oregon Shelf)

Continental shelf sediments are sinks for dissolved oxygen and sources of many major and minor nutrients required for oceanic surface primary production, resulting in a strong coupling between benthic and pelagic biogeochemical cycling. However, the influence and spatiotemporal variability of benthic remineralization on bottom-water chemistry and the supply of nutrients to surface waters has received minimal study on the Oregon-Washington (OR-WA) shelf. To expand knowledge of these areas, benthic flux measurements were made approximately quarter-annually at inner-shelf and mid-shelf sites on the Newport Hydrographic (NH) Line at 44.6˚N between December 2017 and July 2019, and again between 44.5˚N and 46.5˚N along the mid-shelf during July and September of 2022. The benthic fluxes were determined using a novel set-up for ex situ core incubations. The dataset described here details all benthic fluxes measured during sediment incubation experiments, conducted during the cruises from February 2018 to July 2019, at the sites on the NH Line, and during July and September of 2022. The paired bottom water dataset is located in a separate BCO-DMO dataset (dataset ID 793115). Additionally, during the 2022 cruises, community composition data were collected using box corers. These data are also located in a separate BCO-DMO dataset (dataset ID 880760).

[Benthic Survey Data] - Benthic survey of Looe Key and Wonderland Reef conducted in 10-15 December 2023 (Collaborative Research: The Influence of Sponge Holobiont Metabolism on Coral Reef Dissolved Organic Matter and Reef Microorganisms)

The benthic survey of Looe Key and Wonderland Reef was conducted by using a 100 m transect underwater above the reef. Species were identified and recorded every 10 cm on the transect. This created a transect with 100 points, which was then converted into percent cover of benthic species. The data recorded from the transects was compiled and analyzed to determine which reef has a higher density of sponges, and which reef has a higher density of coral. Four of the five surveys were conducted in Looe Key, and one survey was conducted in Wonderland Reef. Each survey included three separate transects. Wonderland Reef has about twice the percent cover of sponges (~31%), while Looe Key Reef has ~15.6% sponge cover. The percent cover of stony corals, octocorals, and hard substrate were similar at the two sites whilst Looe Key maintained a higher cover of palythoa (an invasive zoanthid) than Wonderland Reef.

[Bio-optical measurements] - Bio-optical measurements made using the shipboard flow-through system within three hours of CTD casts conducted on R/V Robert Gordon Sproul cruises along the Southern California coast during July and August 2023 (Postdoctoral Fellowship: OCE-PRF: Smoke on the water: the impacts of wildfire ash deposition on surface ocean biology)

These data include bio-optical measurements made using the shipboard flow-through system within three hours of CTD casts conducted on the R/V Robert Gordon Sproul (SP2319, SP2320) between dates 2023-07-28 and 2023-08-19 along the Southern California coast. These data were collected to provide context for the incubation experiments that were also conducted on board. Incubations were comprised of dilution experiments to assess phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing rates and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) remineralization bioassays to assess bacterioplankton growth and DOC degradation.

Deposition of wildfire ash on the ocean can fertilize microbial production but also has the potential to inhibit microbial growth due to heavy metal toxicity. The data collected from these field experiments can contribute to elevating understanding of wildfire-driven material transfer from the terrestrial system to the ocean and its impact on carbon and energy flow in marine food webs. These data were collected by Dr. Nicholas Baetge, Dr. Jason Graff, Dr. Allen Milligan, Brian Ver Wey, and Parker Hansen of Oregon State University. Data were also collected by Dr. Craig Carlson, Elisa Halewood, and Keri Opalk of the University of California Santa Barbara.

[Biodiversity Experiments] - Biodiversity experiments: Effects of diversity in feeding trials, conducted at Bodgea Marine Laboratory, using detritus from eelgrass (Zostera marina) genotypes (clones) as a food source and either one or a combination of invertebrate grazers (Connecting genetic diversity to ecosystem functioning: links between genetic diversity, relatedness and trait variation in a seagrass community)

Seagrass meadows are among the world's most productive ecosystems, and as in many other systems, genetic diversity is correlated with increased production. However, only a small fraction of seagrass production is directly consumed, and instead much of the secondary production is fueled by the detrital food web. Here, we study the roles of plant genetic diversity and grazer species diversity on detrital consumption in California eelgrass Zostera marina meadows. We used three common mesograzers\u2014an amphipod, Ampithoe lacertosa, an isopod, Idotea resecata, and a polychaete, Platynereis bicanaliculata. In a series of five independent experiments, we manipulated grazer species diversity and number of eelgrass clones and measured the resulting detrital consumption. Under monospecific grazer assemblages, plant genetic identity but not diversity influenced detritus consumption. However, more realistic, diverse mesoconsumer communities combined with high plant-detrital genotypic diversity resulted in greater consumption and grazer survival. These data are illustrated in figures 4 and 5 Reynolds et al., 2017 (DOI:10.1111/oik.04471).
