PISCO: Intertidal: Recruitment Monitoring: UCSC: Rock: 2007

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 ("Tuffies") 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.本元数据记录归档了PISCO潮间带幼体补充监测研究的相关内容。研究团队在加利福尼亚州与俄勒冈州太平洋沿岸的多个样点布设幼体定植收集器，并清理岩面。每个样点设置两类收集器：一类为卵圆形塑料网洗碗刷（"Tuffies"）收集器，用于监测贻贝幼体补充；另一类为表面贴附3M Safety-Walk防滑垫的10×10厘米聚氯乙烯（PVC）板材收集器，用于监测藤壶幼体补充。此外，在每块藤壶监测板附近的岩面上，均清理出10×10厘米的方形样方，以监测自然状态下的藤壶幼体补充。全年所有样点的收集器布设与样方清理工作均在潮间带中潮区开展。在特定年份与样点，研究团队会向低潮区与高潮区增设收集器与样方。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。
