SBC LTER: Reef: Long-term experiment: Taxon-specific seasonal net primary production (NPP) for macroalgae

This dataset provides estimates of seasonal net primary production
(NPP) for all taxa of macroalgae sampled in fixed plots of the SBC
LTER's long-term kelp removal experiment sites. The experiment was
initiated in 2008 at 4 sites; a fifth site as added in 2011. Data
collection is ongoing. NPP of understory taxa was calculated using
field measurements of irradiance and biomass (derived from
abundance) and laboratory estimates of taxon-specific
photosynthetic parameters. NPP for the giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera , was calculated using
linear relationships between frond density in a given season and
average NPP for that season.

本数据集提供了SBC LTER长期海带移除实验固定样方中采集的所有大型藻类分类群的季节性净初级生产力（Net Primary Production，NPP）估算值。该实验于2008年在4个样地启动，2011年新增第5个样地，目前数据采集工作仍在持续推进。林下藻类分类群的净初级生产力通过辐照度与生物量（由丰度推导得到）的野外实测数据，结合分类群特异性光合参数的实验室估算值计算得出。巨藻（Macrocystis pyrifera）的净初级生产力则通过特定季节的藻叶密度与该季节平均净初级生产力之间的线性关系计算得到。
