[Benthic community composition from Heron Island (2015-2020)] - Benthic community composition from Heron Island, southern Great Barrier Reef determined from 2015 to 2020 (Influence of environmental pH variability and thermal sensitivity on the resilience of reef-building corals to acidification stress)

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.

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 Iron on the Oregon Shelf] - Benthic iron data on the Oregon Shelf from samples collected on R/V Oceanus cruise OC2107A during July to August 2021 (Collaborative Research: Coupling of physical and chemical processes in the shelf to basin transport of iron and iodine off Washington and Oregon)

These data were obtained on two cruises to the Oregon shelf in August and November 2021. They describe the release of dissolved iron (Fe) from the benthic boundary layer and show that a sizeable fraction of this Fe is present as soluble Fe(II). Hypoxia is increasing in strength and duration on the Oregon continental shelf. Intermediate waters of the North Pacific are also experiencing deoxygenation. Lower oxygen (O2) will lead to elevated Fe(II) release and persistence in the water column, increasing the role of the Oregon continental margin as an Fe source. Coastal Oregon and North Pacific Ocean waters are often iron-limited and this increased Fe source could act as a positive feedback to Pacific deoxygenation by increasing primary production and therefore carbon supply to hypoxic intermediate waters. Understanding and simulating continental margin Fe supply will provide helpful information for predicting the condition of the future coastal ocean. Intensive modeling and monitoring already occur for these waters due to their economic significance and an improved understanding of Fe, a critical nutrient in this region, will advance these efforts. Note this version of the dataset includes data only from the August 2021 cruise.

[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.

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).

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.

[Biogeochemical Measurements from Surface Waters at the North Shore of Mo'orea, French Polynesia] - Biogeochemical and microbial parameters collected during spatial surveys on a coral reef at Mo'orea's North Shore (French Polynesia) in September 2017, May 2019, and April 2022 (Collaborative Research: Characterizing microbial transformation of marine DOM at the molecular level using untargeted metabolomic)

This data includes biogeochemical and microbial parameters collected during spatial surveys on a coral reef at Mo'orea's North Shore (French Polynesia). Sampling took place in September 2017, May 2019, and April 2022. In 2019 and 2022, samples were also collected across three midday Lagrangian transect deployments, following water flowing linearly from ocean-facing forereefs over a reef crest to backreef lagoons. A variety of methods were used including colorimetric detection of inorganic nutrients, high-temperature combustion/oxidation, or chemical oxidation for the analysis of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and particulate organic carbon and nitrogen (POC and PON) concentrations, isotope ratio mass spectrometry for determining stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes of particulate organic matter (POM), scanning excitation-emissions fluorescence measurements of whole seawater to quantify fluorescent dissolved organic matter (fDOM), flow cytometry-based cell counts to quantify bacterial abundance, and liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry to identify individual chemical features within marine DOM. These data help to quantify how biogeochemical parameters change in this region of the reef as open ocean waters flow onto the reef, over the reef, and then mix with waters in the bay. This work helps us to better identify external nutrients to the reef and how reef organisms modify and cycle carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus over the reef. The results may be of use to physical, chemical, and biological oceanographers who study tropical reef systems and could inform other studies in the region including those conducted as part of the Mo'orea Coral Reef (MCR) Long Term Ecology Research (LTER) program. The samples were collected, measured (for a subset as noted below), and analyzed primarily by members of Lihini Aluwihare's group.

Counts and concentrations of Cs134, Cs137, Ag110m, and K40 detected in
zooplankton and small fish samples are reported. Samples were collected as
part of a radioecological study of biota in order to assess the impact of
radiation leaks from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility, damaged by
a March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Radionuclide results were determined
from high purity germanium detectors and calibrated against IAEA standards as
described in Buesseler et al. (PNAS, 2012).

We experimentally examined early life CO2-sensitivities of northern stock black sea bass (Centropristis striata), an ecologically and economically important fish that seasonally migrates from offshore overwintering grounds to coastal feeding and nursery areas. We produced embryos from wild spawners and reared them until 10 days post hatch (dph) at three contrasting pCO2 levels (~400, ~2200, ~3000 µatm), finding no statistical effects of pCO2 on hatching success (~25%) or survival to 10 dph (~11%). At the extreme pCO2 level, surviving larvae were 1.2× larger and grew 55% faster compared to control pCO2 conditions.  This dataset contains black sea bass morphometrics from these experiments.

This dataset is from CTD-based water collections of samples for phytoplankton and non-pigmented bacteria in the Indian Ocean on an R/V Roger Revelle cruise in Feb-March 2022 led by Dr. Michael Landry to investigate the plankton dynamics and impacts on growth and survival of larval Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT). These flow cytometry results include abundances of phytoplankton taxa (Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, photosynthetic eukaryotes), non-pigmented bacteria (HBACT), heterotrophic eukaryotes (HEUK), and potential mixotrophic eukaryotes (MEUK). Photosynthetic eukaryote (PEUK) abundance includes the MEUK cells reported (e.g., MEUK are a subset of the PEUK cells with chlorophyll and acidic-vacuoles). Note that MEUK cells likely also include some HEUK with intact chlorophyll-bearing prey, but there is no way to definitively separate these cells from each other.

[Bulk cyclic AMP (cAMP) assays] - Results from bulk cyclic AMP (cAMP) assays conducted to investigate the role of soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) in sperm from the gonochoric, broadcast spawning coral Astrangia poculata (Influence of environmental pH variability and thermal sensitivity on the resilience of reef-building corals to acidification stress)

Most stony corals liberate their gametes into the water column via broadcast spawning, where fertilization hinges upon the activation of directional sperm motility. Sperm from gonochoric and hermaphroditic corals display distinct morphological and molecular phenotypes, yet it is unknown whether the signallng pathways controlling sperm motility are also distinct between these sexual systems. We addressed this knowledge gap using the gonochoric, broadcast spawning coral Astrangia poculata. This dataset is from bulk cyclic AMP (cAMP) assays conducted to investigate the role of soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) in sperm. Data are associated with Glass et al. (2023) Proceedings of the Royal Society B (10.1098/rspb.2023.0085). These data are also published in Dryad under DOI 10.5061/dryad.rn8pk0pg8.

[Bulk SIA of gelatinous zooplankton] - Bulk tissue stable isotope analysis of zooplankton samples collected by MOCNESS from R/V Sally Ride and R/V Roger Revelle cruises in the southern California Current Ecosystem from 2020-2023 (Resolving vertical trophic linkages between surface and deep pelagic food webs)

We estimated the trophic positions of abundant gelatinous zooplankton (chaetognaths, cnidarians, ctenophores, molluscs, and pelagic tunicates) in the southern California Current Ecosystem using stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis. Gelatinous zooplankton were collected on four research cruises on the R/V Sally Ride and R/V Roger Revelle between 2020 and 2023 and from 0 to 3,000 meters depth using a 10-square-meter Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS). 561 samples of gelatinous zooplankton from thirteen taxonomic groups were chosen for bulk tissue stable isotope analysis. An additional twenty samples from seven gelatinous genera were chosen for nitrogen compound-specific isotope analysis of amino acids because they were abundant across our region and represented a range of hypothesized feeding guilds and depth habitats (0 – 1,025 meters). Gelatinous zooplankton were briefly thawed to remove visible gut contents using forceps and a scalpel. Samples were then lyophilized and homogenized. To ensure sufficient sample mass for stable isotope analysis, samples often contained multiple individuals from the same net, taxonomic group, and size class. The number of individuals per sample was typically fewer than 100, with a larger number of individuals pooled for some samples of Pantachogon spp. and Hormiphora spp. Samples were processed for bulk tissue stable isotope analysis at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and the University of California Merced. This dataset includes the bulk tissue stable isotope measurements of carbon and nitrogen as well as specimen metadata (e.g., animal body size, collection location/time).

[BVAL bottle data (BATS Validation cruises)] - Discrete bottle samples collected during BATS Validation (BVAL) cruises from April 1991 through June 2023 (Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study)

Data presented here are discrete bottle samples for BATS validation (BVAL)  Cruise # 1 (April 1991) through BVAL cruise # 60 (June 2023). Following the first several years of the BATS project it was deemed necessary by the JGOFS steering committee and BATS PIs to conduct validation cruises in the vicinity of the nominal BATS site to better understand the mesoscale and larger scale variability of the region. In particular, a focus of the BVAL cruises was to assess the spatial scale representation of the BATS and Hydrostation ‘S' programs. Initial focus of the BVAL cruises was to investigate mesoscale variability and  meridional gradients of the local region. Later, cruises focused on specific mesoscale eddies (e.g., McGillicuddy et al., 1998; McGillicuddy et al., 1999) and effects of tropical cyclones through the local region. In the year 2000 it was deemed more important to document the larger scale changes in the North Atlantic Subtropical gyre so BVAL cruises established a transect line from ~ 35N to 19N (Bermuda to Puerto Rico) very similar to the WOCE A22 repeat hydrography line (Johnson et al., 2020). These annual Bermuda to Puerto Rico transects have been run since 2000 and target stations at every one degree of latitude and typically have been conducted in September/October of each year to capture maximal heat content in the upper ocean. However, since this timeframe coincides with high tropical cyclone activity the cruises were reluctantly (as of 2022) moved to begin in June/July of each year for safety and operational reasons. In the pentad prior to 2022 every BVAL cruise was significantly impacted by multiple tropical cyclones. Parameters presented are the same as provided in the standard BATS bottle files.
