Temperate Reef Base

TemperateReefBase is a resource for temperate reef researchers worldwide to use and contribute data. Unique in its role as a one-stop-shop for global temperate reef data, TemperateReefBase was initially established by IMAS in collaboration with the Kelp Ecology Ecosystem Network (KEEN). KEEN was instigated through a National Centre for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) working group which assembled experts from around the world to examine the impacts of global change on kelp-bed ecosystem worldwide. The group has assembled significant global data for kelps, other seaweeds and associated species including fishes, and has embarked on unprecedented global experiments and surveys in which identical experiments and surveys are being conducted at sites in kelp beds around the world to determine global trends and examine the capacity of kelps to respond to disturbance in the face of climate change and other anthropogenic stressors. The TemperateReefBase Data Portal is an online discovery interface showcasing temperate reef data collected from around the globe. The portal aims to make this data freely and openly available for the benefit of marine and environmental science as a whole. The TemperateReefBase Data Portal is hosted and maintained by the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania, Australia.

温带珊瑚礁数据库（TemperateReefBase）是全球温带珊瑚礁研究者交流与贡献数据的平台。作为全球温带珊瑚礁数据的集成服务中心，该数据库最初由IMAS（海洋与南极研究所）联合海藻生态与生态系统网络（KEEN）创建。KEEN项目源于国家生态分析与综合中心（NCEAS）的工作小组，该小组汇聚了世界各地的专家，旨在研究全球变化对世界范围内海藻床生态系统的影响。该小组已收集了关于海藻、其他海草及其相关物种（包括鱼类）的全球数据，并开展了前所未有的全球性实验和调查。在这些实验和调查中，全球各地的海藻床遗址进行着相同的实验和调查，以确定全球趋势并检验海藻在气候变化和其他人为压力面前的响应能力。温带珊瑚礁数据库数据门户是一个在线数据发现界面，展示了来自全球各地的温带珊瑚礁数据。该门户旨在使这些数据免费且开放地提供给海洋和环境科学界，以促进整体科学的发展。温带珊瑚礁数据库数据门户由澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚大学的海洋与南极研究所负责托管和维护。
