Counts of colonists collected from colonization plates at the East Pacific Rise (EPR) deep-sea vents (1998-2017)

<p>Counts of colonist species and morphogroups on post-eruption sandwiches (at P-vent) and pre-eruption blocks (at East Wall) near 9°50'N on the East Pacific Rise (EPR). Recovery date (months since January 2006 eruption), deployment habitat zone (H=Hot, W=Warm, C=Cool), sample ID, and recovery temperature (deg C) are presented for each sample. Species and morphogroups were matched to equal or lowest level taxon in the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). Data were provided using Darwin Core terms to enable harvesting by the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS).</p>

<p>Data are also provided in a wide format [see Data Files section] with&nbsp;columns for each sample which&nbsp;indicate monthsSinceEruption - Zone - samplerID - temperatureRecovered, e.g., 9-H-2-26.7 indicates nine months post-eruption, in zone hot, sampler ID 2, recovered at 26.7 deg C. Values in each of these columns indicate counts of individuals identified to that dataProviderName for that sample. Zeroes denote absence.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Spatiotemporal metadata for the samples are provided in Dataset: Colonization sampler log https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/733210. These data are published in&nbsp;Mullineaux et al (2012). doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0050015.</p>

东太平洋海隆（East Pacific Rise, EPR）北纬9°50′附近，P喷口（P-vent）处的喷发后三明治式采样器与东壁（East Wall）处的喷发前岩块上的定殖物种及形态类群计数数据集。每个样本均记录了采样恢复时间（距2006年1月喷发事件后的月数）、布设生境带（H=高温区，W=温水区，C=冷水区）、样本编号以及采样恢复时的水温（单位：摄氏度）。所有物种与形态类群均匹配至《世界海洋物种名录》（World Register of Marine Species, WoRMS）中至等同或最低阶的分类单元。本数据集采用达尔文核心（Darwin Core）术语进行标注，以支持海洋生物多样性信息系统（Ocean Biodiversity Information System, OBIS）开展数据收录工作。

数据集同时提供宽表格式数据[详见数据文件章节]，各列对应单个样本，字段依次为喷发后月数-生境带-采样器编号-恢复温度，例如"9-H-2-26.7"代表喷发后9个月、高温生境带、采样器编号2、恢复温度26.7摄氏度。各列数值代表对应样本中，被鉴定为对应类群的个体计数；零值表示该类群未在样本中出现。

样本的时空元数据可于数据集《定殖采样器日志》（Colonization sampler log）https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/733210 中获取。本数据集相关研究成果已发表于Mullineaux等人（2012），DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0050015。
