PISCO: Intertidal: Recruitment Monitoring: UCSB: Tuffy: 1995

This metadata record documents the recruitment monitoring study for PISCO intertidal. Settlement collectors are deployed and rock surfaces cleared at various sites along the pacific coast of California and Oregon. At each site there are two types of collectors. Collectors made of plastic mesh, ovoid, pot-scrubbers ("Tuffys") target mussel recruits. Plastic 10x10 cm PVC plates covered with 3M Safety-Walk target barnacle recruitment. 10x10 cm square plots were cleared on the rock near each barnacle recruitment plate to target natural barnacle recruitment. All collectors were deployed and plots cleared in the mid zone at all the sites throughout the year. Additional collectors and plots were added to the low and high shore levels in specific years and sites. Although mussels and barnacles were the main target taxa, other organisms were recorded as well.本元数据记录用于归档PISCO潮间带生物补充监测研究。研究团队在加利福尼亚与俄勒冈州的太平洋沿岸多个监测点位布设了附着收集器（settlement collector），并清理了对应岩面。每个点位设置两类收集器：一类为卵形塑料网洗碗刷状收集器（"Tuffys"），用于采集贻贝幼体补充个体；另一类为表面覆有3M Safety-Walk防滑材料的10×10厘米聚氯乙烯（PVC）平板，用于监测藤壶幼体补充。此外，在每块藤壶收集平板附近的岩面上划定10×10厘米方形样地并清理岩面，以监测自然状态下的藤壶幼体补充。全年所有点位的潮间带中区均布设了上述收集器并清理了对应样地；在特定年份与点位中，额外在潮间带低潮区与高潮区增设了收集器与样地。尽管本研究以贻贝与藤壶为主要目标类群，但同时也记录了其他伴生生物。
