String acquisition_description
"2010 and 2011 Data Acquisition:
Sampling from small boats occurred along transects at the Moorea Coral Reef
LTER sites during September 2010 and September 2011. Benthic producers were
collected from water depths of 1.0 to 1.5 meters at back and fringe reef
locations. Bacterioplankton abundance was determined using flow cytometry
(Nelson et al. 2011). DOC was measured by a high-temperature TOC analyzer
according to methods of Carlson et al. (2010). To assess DOC release by
primary producers, each benthic species was incubated using the method of
Herndl and Velimirov (Haas et al. 2011). To determine if DOC released by
primary producers affects mirobial populations, ~48 hour dark dilution culture
incubations were performed to measure changes in concentration of DO, DOC, and
bacterioplankton over time (Haas et el. 2011).

"From http://www.lternet.edu/sites/mcr/ and http://mcr.lternet.edu/:
The Moorea Coral Reef LTER site encompasses the coral reef complex that surrounds the island of Moorea, French Polynesia (17°30'S, 149°50'W). Moorea is a small, triangular volcanic island 20 km west of Tahiti in the Society Islands of French Polynesia. An offshore barrier reef forms a system of shallow (mean depth ~ 5-7 m), narrow (~0.8-1.5 km wide) lagoons around the 60 km perimeter of Moorea. All major coral reef types (e.g., fringing reef, lagoon patch reefs, back reef, barrier reef and fore reef) are present and accessible by small boat.
The MCR LTER was established in 2004 by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and is a partnership between the University of California Santa Barbara and California State University, Northridge. MCR researchers include marine scientists from the UC Santa Barbara, CSU Northridge, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, UC San Diego, CSU San Marcos, Duke University and the University of Hawaii. Field operations are conducted from the UC Berkeley Richard B. Gump South Pacific Research Station on the island of Moorea, French Polynesia.
MCR LTER Data: The Moorea Coral Reef (MCR) LTER data are managed by and available directly from the MCR project data site URL shown above. The datasets listed below were collected at or near the MCR LTER sampling locations, and funded by NSF OCE as ancillary projects related to the MCR LTER core research themes.

From NSF award proposal:
The proposed research will investigate the coupling between primary producers and the utilization of dissolved organic matter (DOM) by marine heterotrophic microbes on coral reefs. Previous metagenomic studies of the microbial communities associated with near-pristine and degraded coral reefs demonstrated a shift from a microbial food web similar to the open ocean (Prochlorococcus spp. and SAR11-like bacteria) to a community dominated by \"super-heterotrophs\", most closely related to known pathogens like E. coli, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Enterobacter spp. and Vibrio spp. This shift is associated with a decline in coral cover and an increase in coral disease prevalence. Our previous research has also shown that dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations are lower on coral reef platforms compared to measurements of offshore waters (60-80 µM). On degraded reefs, we have observed DOC measurements as low as 30 - 40 µM, a value similar to concentrations observed in the deep Pacific Ocean. The observation of low DOC measurements on degraded reefs is decoupled from the high abundance of macroalgae, which one might expect would raise levels of DOC through the release of photosynthate into the water column.
The data generated from the proposed research are key to understanding the microbial, chemical, and ecological dynamics on today’s coral reefs. The proposed research plan will consist of five inter-related objectives that will use a combination of field surveys, molecular characterization (microbes and DOM) and experimental approaches to assess the overall hypothesis. We propose to use a combination of archived samples from previous reef expeditions as well as conduct two field visits to reefs in French Polynesia (Moorea) and the Line Islands (Kiritimati) for focused sampling and experimentation. The biogeochemistry, local physical oceanography, and detailed reef ecology has been well characterized and continues to be monitored as part of the MCR-LTER program at Moorea. This environmental context will be useful in interpreting our experimental and field results at Moorea. We will also compare two field sites, Moorea and Kiritimati to ensure that our results are not specific to one region.";

String summary "This dataset contains experimental and survey biogeochemical and microbial data from samples collected at the Moorea Coral Reef LTER site (French Polynesia). Goals of the study were to investigate how benthic primary producers directly affect seawater chemistry (DO and DOC) and to examine impacts of released DOC on reef bacterioplankton growth and respiration. Rates of photosynthesis, respiration, and DOC relsease were assessed for several benthic reef organisms.";

Data Access Protocol (DAP) and its
selection constraints.
The URL specifies what you want: the dataset, a description of the graph or the subset of the data, and the file type for the response.
Tabledap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/pmelTaoDySst.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,station,wmo_platform_code,T_25&time>=2015-05-23T12:00:00Z&time<=2015-05-31T12:00:00Z
Thus, the query is often a comma-separated list of desired variable names,
followed by a collection of
constraints (e.g., variable<value),
each preceded by '&' (which is interpreted as "AND").
