Particulate organic matter composition for freshwater and marine stations from 2015 through 2018 on the Central Coast, British Columbia, Canada.

This data package includes two datasets used to assess spatial and temporal patterns in particulate organic matter (POM) chemical composition in surface (0-10 m) waters at 11 oceanographic stations along British Columbia’s Central Coast, associated with St. Pierre et al. (2022, submitted).

The datasets within the data package include: 
‘Oceanographic station mixture dataset.csv’: Particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate nitrogen (PN) concentrations and stable isotope signatures (δ13C, δ15N) and ratios of carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) in surface waters (0-10 m) across 11 oceanographic stations, sampled during routine monthly surveys conducted between January 21st 2015 and September 11th 2018. Also includes water temperature, salinity, chlorophyll a concentrations, and POC-to-chlorophyll a ratios.  
‘End-member raw data.csv’:  Particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate nitrogen (PN) concentrations and stable isotope signatures (δ13C, δ15N) and ratios of carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) in marine phytoplankton, terrestrial, and marine intertidal macrophyte POM sources. Note that means ± standard deviations for each source were used in the Bayesian mixing model presented in St. Pierre et al. (in review). Marine intertidal macrophyte data are a subset from Froese et al. (2019).

Understory kelp biomass data from BC Central Coast

The understory kelp biomass dataset is a component of Hakai Institute’s Nearshore research and monitoring program. This dataset characterizes spatial and temporal trends in understory kelps and kelp-consuming invertebrate communities at 22 rocky bottom subtidal sites near Calvert Island on the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada (2014-now). Data coverage varies by year. The total length and abundance of all kelps, Desmarestia species, and urchins were measured at 6 sites seasonally (5 times within a year) from 2014-2018. Urchin behaviour was also recorded. From 2016-current, additional sites (4-15) were surveyed annually using a variation on the sampling design (reduced measurements on a subset of sites). In 2018-current kelp consumer species abundance, including small mobile grazing invertebrates, were recorded. Dry weight values and length to weight relations are also provided to extrapolate density and morphology data to biomass. Spatial and temporal variability in kelp and invertebrate community relationships is described.

This data package is freely available to everyone, following the principles of equitable access and benefit sharing. However, we expect all data users to give attribution to the data providers (read our data license) and the use of these data should happen in the light of fair use, i.e.: 1) respect the data providers, and provide helpful feedback on data quality, and 2) communicate and/or collaborate with the providers if you are considering using this dataset for manuscripts or other forms of reporting.
