Estimates of nitrogen and phosphorus excretion rates in individual marine and estuarine animals

This dataset contains nitrogen and phosphorus excretion rate, as
well as dry biomass, estimates for individual vertebrate and
invertebrate animals in marine and estuarine environments. This
dataset is a product of an LTER Synthesis Working Group aimed at
evaluating the spatiotemporal variability in consumer nutrient
dynamics in the wake of global change across eight long-term
ecological research projects. These projects include seven
long-term ecological research programs (LTER) funded by the
National Science Foundation: (1) California Current Ecosystem, (2)
Florida Coastal Everglades, (3) Moorea Coral Reef, (4) Northern
Gulf of Alaska, (5) Plum Island Ecosystems, (6) Santa Barbara
Coastal, and (7) Virginia Coast Reserve LTER projects.
Additionally, the dataset includes data from (8) The Partnership
for Interdisciplinary Science of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) research
program. The temporal coverage of each time series data varies
among projects, with the earliest record in 1999 and the most
recent in 2023.

This data package also includes five R scripts used for data
harmonization, identical to those in the Initial Release of the
LTER Synthesis Working Group: Consumer-Mediated Nutrient Dynamics
Project, v1.0.0. You can find the release in GitHub here:

本数据集收录了海洋及河口环境中各类脊椎动物和无脊椎动物个体的氮磷排泄率、干生物量估算数据。该数据集系长期生态系统研究（LTER）综合工作组的产品，旨在评估全球变化背景下，消费者营养动态在空间和时间维度上的变异性。该工作组由八个长期生态系统研究项目组成，其中七个由美国国家科学基金会资助，分别是：（1）加利福尼亚海流生态系统，（2）佛罗里达沿海大沼泽，（3）莫雷阿珊瑚礁，（4）阿拉斯加北部湾，（5）普卢姆岛生态系统，（6）圣巴巴拉沿海，（7）弗吉尼亚海岸保护区LTER项目。此外，数据集还纳入了（8）海岸海洋跨学科科学合作组织（PISCO）研究项目的数据。各时间序列数据的覆盖时间在各项目中有所不同，最早记录始于1999年，最新记录截止至2023年。此外，该数据包还包含了五篇R脚本，用于数据协调，与LTER综合工作组初次发布时的脚本相同：消费者介导的营养动态项目，版本1.0.0。您可以在GitHub上找到此版本的发布信息：https://github.com/lter/lterwg-marine-cnd/releases/tag/v1.0.0。
