Summary:
This dataset includes the densities (count/mL) of the alga Tetraselmis suecica (LB 2286) cultures grown from a UTEX sample. The counts were obtained using a Beckman Coulter Z2 Particle Counter in the lab over a five-day period under different experimental temperature regimes. The experiment took place between 2023-05-23 and 2023-08-18. The goal of the experiment was to determine how mean temperature and temperature fluctuation frequency affected the growth rate of T. suecica. By comparing the growth rate of T. suecica under constant vs. variable temperatures, one can determine the historical or legacy effects of past temperature variation on subsequent organismal performance. These experiments were conducted by members of the Brian Helmuth Lab at Northeastern University.

[Large Volume Pump Data from EN665] - Small and large particle concentrations of total carbon, total nitrogen, and inorganic carbon, and particulate thorium-234 and RAP234 from large volume pump profiles collected on R/V Endeavor cruise EN665 in the Gulf of Maine in April 2021 (Biogenic Calcium Carbonate Solubilities and Reaction Rates by Lab and Field Saturometry)

Summary:
Sample collection took place at two primary stations within the Gulf of Maine's Wilkinson and Jordan basins from the R/V Endeavor in April 2021. McLane pumps were deployed at eight depths throughout the water column from near the sea surface (~14 meters) to near the seafloor (~250 meters). The first deployment occurred in the Wilkinson Basin and the second occurred in the Jordan Basin. Small (1-51 micrometer (µm)) and large particle (>51 µm) concentrations of total carbon, total nitrogen, and inorganic carbon (PC, PN, and PIC, respectively) are presented, along with small particle isotopic compositions (13C, 15N) of these phases, particulate thorium-234, and RAP234 (a resuspension proxy associated with particulate thorium-234). Depth profiles demonstrate typical particulate carbon shapes. The PIC demonstrates a peak near the seafloor, indicating the potential presence of a nepheloid layer. This feature does not appear in the PC data. The isotopic composition of the PIC demonstrates uniquely negative values throughout the water column. Small particle thorium-234 activities were consistently larger than the large particle activities at all depths and small particle RAP234 activities indicate possible resuspension in the bottom ~50 m of the water column. These data were collected by Drs. Adam Subhas (WHOI) and Erin Black (UR). Data processing and preparation were completed by Dr. Subhas, Dr. Black, and Karine Holmes (UR).

[larval krill pigments] - Larval krill studies - fluorescence and clearance from ARSV Laurence M. Gould LMG0106, LMG0205 in the Southern Ocean from 2001-2002 (SOGLOBEC project) (U.S. GLOBEC Southern Ocean)

Summary:
The goal of the larval krill studies was to investigate the physiology and ecology of krill larvae associated with the pack ice and the microbial community on which they feed.\r\n\r\nDuring LMG0106 we occupied two 4-5 day ice stations (Robert and Billy) and sampled several other ice floes opportunistically. We conducted 10 instantaneous growth rate experiments, and 4 whole body clearance time experiments to determine gut passage time (decline in pigment content over time). We also sampled larvae at two additional sites for initial body pigment content (whole body fluorescence), and at 4 sites for condition factor. The under-ice algal community was sampled at one site. Length and stage frequency determinations were also determined.\r\n\r\nWe occupied three time-series stations of approximately 1 week each, and in addition opportunistically sampled at times when other activities had priority. Our primary goal during the cruise was to occupy three ice camps or process stations with the intent of thoroughly studying the under-ice environment by SCUBA in conjunction with other projects working topside.

[Larval morphometrics Strongylocentrotus purpuratus under ocean warming and food availability scenarios] - Larval morphometrics of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus under ocean warming and food availability scenarios (Collaborative Research: The effects of marine heatwaves on reproduction, larval transport and recruitment in sea urchin metapopulations)

Summary:
Trends in survival, morphometric patterns, and time to metamorphic competency across temperature and food availability treatments were measured in S. purpuratus larvae.

Larvae were spawned from adult purple urchins collected in Santa Barbara, CA. Effects of temperature and food availability were tested using a 6 x 4 factorial experimental design with six temperature treatments (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20°C) and four concentrations of Rhodomonas sp. microalgae (500, 2500, 5000, 10,000 cells mL-1) for a total of 24 treatment combinations. Food treatments represented algal concentrations from starvation to ad libitum conditions. Temperature and food treatments were based on historical observations of temperature trends and chlorophyll abundance. Larval samples were collected 4, 9, and 15 days post-fertilization and fixed in 10% PBS buffered formalin for morphometric analyses.

Samples were collected before feeding to minimize influence of algae on stomach measurements. Fixed larvae were then photographed using an Olympus BX41 compound microscope with a Nikon 3400 DSLR camera at 4X magnification and postoral arm length, body length, stomach length and height were measured in 20 randomly selected larvae from each sample using ImageJ software (Schneider et al. 2012). Metamorphic competency was determined when >50% of larvae exhibited tube feet and adhered to the bottle.

Summary:
We tested how thermal tolerance itself can be fundamentally altered by food limitation hypothesis by quantifying how temperature and food concentrations interact synergistically to shape survival throughout larval development of purple urchins (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus). Larval sampling was conducted every two days to estimate changes in larval density and competency, in conjunction with water changes and feedings. Larval densities were quantified by concentrating larval cultures to 100 mL and counting the number of larvae found in five 1 mL subsamples. Density counts continued until larvae showed signs of metamorphosis, as determined by the presence of a rudiment and exposed tube feet.

[Little Cayman Vertical Temp Data] -  (NSF-BSF: Assessing the mechanisms of molecular and morphological adaptation by corals to extreme environments)

Summary:
Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by marine heatwaves, which drive widespread coral bleaching and mortality. Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) have been proposed as potential thermal refuges due to their greater depth and relative isolation from surface temperature extremes. Yet their resilience to extreme heat events remains uncertain, with location specific conclusions, thus requiring further studies. Here, we investigate the effects of the 2023 marine heatwave in the Cayman Islands, which resulted in prolonged sea surface temperatures exceeding 31°C and 17.5 DHW with extensive bleaching across shallow coral reefs.

Utilizing vertical transect surveys from 10m to 50m, we assessed depth-related variations in bleaching prevalence and temperature profiles. Our results indicate a significant decline in bleaching with increasing depth, with a concurrent reduction in temperature. Depth-generalist species exhibited reduced bleaching at greater depths, whereas shallow-water specialists displayed severe bleaching. These findings suggest that while MCEs may provide thermal refuge for some species, their capacity to buffer against climate-driven reef degradation is species-specific. Given the increasing frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves, understanding the role of deeper reef habitats in mitigating coral loss is critical for informing conservation and management strategies.

Our study underscores the importance of protecting MCEs as potential thermal refuges while emphasizing the need for continued research on species-specific thermal resilience with depth. Within this dataset, we present the temperature data measured during each survey across depth.

Summary:
These data were compiled to better determine when the mangrove die-off began.
NDVI values of 0.2 or greater correspond to live mangrove cover. These data
suggest the mangrove die-off may have started in 2008 and was exacerbated in
following years with some recovery in 2013. Live area was calculated by
determining the area of the die-off region with NDVI values greater than 0.2.

[Lobster Larvae Growth and Mortality Data] - Growth and mortality of lobster larvae at different temperatures for lobster larvae from Gulf of Maine near Boothbay Maine from 2021 and 2022 (Lobster Thermal Thresholds project) (RUI: Collaborative Research: Linking physiological thermal thresholds to the distribution of lobster settlers and juveniles)

Summary:
We used the American lobster (Homarus americanus lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:156134) in the Gulf of Maine as a model system to define thermal tolerance in larvae and establish mechanistic linkages between thermal tolerance of the individual larva and the patterns of settlement in the field.  We assessed and compared the thermal tolerances of larvae reared in the laboratory using conventional methods with larvae captured in the wild, and examined ontogenetic changes in thermal tolerance.  The upper and lower thermal thresholds larval stages I-IV and the first juvenile stage were defined in part by growth and mortality when subjected to chronic exposure to different treatment temperatures until they either molted to the next developmental stage or died.  This data set includes individuals dying, the size after molting and the amount of time elapsed between the start of the treatment and either molting or death.  These data were collected between 2021-2022 at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, led by Eric Annis.

[Log_Kd] - Partition coefficient of 234Th, 233Pa, 210Pb, 210Po, and 7Be (Biopolymers as carrier phases for selected natural radionuclides (of Th, Pa, Pb, Po, Be) in diatoms and coccolithophores)

Summary:
Laboratory studies were conducted to examine the sorption of selected radionuclides (234Th, 233Pa, 210Po, 210Pb, and 7Be) onto inorganic (pure silica and acid-cleaned diatom frustules) and organic (diatom cells with or without silica frustules) particles in natural seawater and the role of templating biomolecules and exopolymeric substances (EPS) extracted from the same species of diatom, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, in the sorption process. The range of partition coefficients (Kd, reported as logKd) of radionuclides between water and the different particle types was 4.78\u20136.69 for 234Th, 5.23\u20136.71 for 233Pa, 4.44\u20135.86 for 210Pb, 4.47\u20134.92 for 210Po, and 4.93\u20137.23 for 7Be, similar to values reported for lab and field determinations. The sorption of all radionuclides was significantly enhanced in the presence of organic matter associated with particles, resulting in Kd one to two orders of magnitude higher than for inorganic particles only, with highest values for 7Be (logKd of 7.2). Results further indicate that EPS and frustule-embedded biomolecules in diatom cells are responsible for the sorption enhancement rather than the silica shell itself. By separating radiolabeled EPS via isoelectric focusing, we found that isoelectric points are radionuclide specific, suggesting that each radionuclide binds to specific biopolymeric functional groups, with the most efficient binding sites likely occurring in acid polysaccharides, iron hydroxides, and proteins. Further progress in evaluating the effects of diatom frustule\u2013related biopolymers on binding, scavenging, and fractionation of radionuclides would require the application of molecular-level characterization techniques.

[Macroalgal biodiversity experiment: coral growth and tissue mortality data] - Coral (Pocillopora verrucosa) growth and tissue mortality from experimental field plots in Moʻorea, French Polynesia in 2021 (Positive Effects of Coral Biodiversity on Coral Performance: Patterns, Processes, and Dynamics)

Summary:
Hundreds of studies now document positive relationships between biodiversity and critical ecosystem processes, but as ecological communities worldwide shift towards new species configurations, less is known regarding how biodiversity of undesirable species will shape the functioning of ecosystems or foundation species. We manipulated macroalgal species richness in experimental field plots to test whether and how identity and diversity of competing macroalgae affected the growth, survival, and microbiome of a common coral in Moʻorea, French Polynesia. These data include coral (Pocillopora verrucosa) percent growth and tissue mortality among corals outplanted into 25 cm x 21 cm experimental plots in the back reef lagoon on the north coast of Moʻorea, French Polynesia (17°28′37″S 149°50′21″W). We varied the macroalgal community on the upper surface of each plot by outplanting monocultures holding similar masses of: (1) Sargassum pacificum, (2) Turbinaria ornata, or (3) Amansia rhodantha, as well as (4) polycultures containing all three species (12 plots per treatment; Figure 1 of Clements et al., 2024). There were also two additional treatments: (5) plots with plastic algal mimics to control for effects of shading or abrasion unrelated to the biotic properties of live seaweeds and 6) control plots where corals, but not living algae or physical mimics, were present (n = 12 plots/treatment).

This dataset includes coral (Pocillopora verrucosa) growth and tissue mortality at 9 weeks for plots with no algae (control), plastic algal mimics, monocultures of Amansia rhodantha, Turbinaria ornata, or Sargassum pacificum, and polycultures containing all three algal species.

Summary:
An experiment examining the effects of water residence time upon Saccharina latissima capacity to ameliorate seawater acidity under ambient and simulated future scenarios of climate change in a gradient of irradiance was conducted indoors using tanks with a flow-through seawater system based at the Bigelow facilities in November 2018. In a previous experiment (experiment 1), we explored the individual capacities of four species of marine macrophytes (Ulva lactuca, Zostera marina, Fucus vesiculosus and Saccharina latissima) to ameliorate seawater acidity in experimentally elevated pCO2. Then in this experiment 2, we used the most responsive species (i.e., Saccharina latissima) to assess the effects of high and low water residence time on the amelioration of seawater acidity in ambient and simulated future scenarios of climate change across a gradient of irradiance.

This dataset includes data from experiment 2, residence time and irradiance, described in the manuscript: Optimizing marine macrophyte capacity to locally ameliorate ocean acidification under variable light and flow regimes: Insights from an experimental approach (Ricart, A. M. et al. 2023).

Reef halos are rings of bare sand that surround coral reef patches. Halo formation is likely to be the indirectly result of interactions between relatively healthy predator and herbivore populations. To reduce the risk of predation, herbivores preferentially graze close to the safety of the reef, potentially affecting the presence and size of the halo. Reef halos are readily visible in remotely sensed imagery, and monitoring their presence and changes in size may therefore offer clues as to how predator and herbivore populations are faring. However, manually identifying and measuring halos is slow and limits the spatial and temporal scope of studies. There are currently no existing tools to automatically identify single reef halos and measure their size to speed up their identification and improve our ability to quantify their variability over space and time.

Here we present a set of convolutional neural networks aimed at identifying and measuring reef halos from very high-resolution satellite imagery (i.e., ∼0.6 m spatial resolution). We show that deep learning algorithms can successfully detect and measure reef halos with a high degree of accuracy (F1 = 0.824), thereby enabling faster, more accurate spatio-temporal monitoring of halo size. This tool will aid in the global study of reef halos, and potentially coral reef ecosystem monitoring, by facilitating our discovery of the ecological dynamics underlying reef halo presence and variability.

[Marsh channel monitoring data] - Continuously monitored water quality parameters from three open-water sites in a tidal salt marsh channel in New Jersey, USA from June 2021 to June 2024 (Sediment transport and water quality in watersheds and coastlines of the United States)

Summary:
This dataset includes high-frequency measurements of key physical and biogeochemical parameters (depth, salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration and % saturation, pH, turbidity, chlorophyll a) collected at 10-minute intervals from three open-water platforms in a salt marsh tidal channel. The marsh is located landward of Seven Mile Island, a populated barrier island in Cape May County, New Jersey, and is a part of the Seven Mile Island Innovation Laboratory (SMIIL), a research initiative focused on advancing dredging and marsh restoration practices. Data were collected using In-Situ Aqua TROLL 600 multiparameter sondes, which were cleaned, recalibrated, and swapped every 4–12 weeks to enable continuous monitoring. Turbidity and chlorophyll a data are included but have highly variable coverage. The dataset comprises 18 deployments, which have been appended and quality controlled. Meteorological data (air temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure) from a centrally located Young ResponseONE Weather Transmitter and Onset HOBO water level logger, along with ERA5 wind speed data, are provided for the same time period. This high-resolution, multi-year dataset supports the analysis of aquatic ecosystem metabolism and environmental variability in a marsh-dominated estuary, a system type that remains underrepresented in long-term, high-frequency monitoring efforts.
