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.本数据集针对SBC LTER长期海带移除实验站点的固定样地中采集的全部大型藻类类群，提供了其季节性净初级生产力（net primary production, NPP）的估算值。该实验于2008年在4个站点启动，2011年新增第5个站点，目前数据采集工作仍在持续推进。林下层大型藻类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，以及类群特异性光合参数的实验室估算值计算得到。巨藻（Macrocystis pyrifera）的净初级生产力则基于特定季节的叶状体密度与该季节平均净初级生产力之间的线性关系计算得出。
