Cell counts (per liter) by size groups of diatoms, autotrophic and heterotrophic plankton, via epifluorescent microscopy (EPI) from CCE LTER process cruises in the California Current region, 2006 - 2016.
Microbial community assemblages of the California Current Ecosystem (CCE) are assessed for abundance of diatoms, autotrophic (dinoflagellate and other eukaryotes) and heterotrophic (dinoflagellate and other eukaryotes) plankton using high-throughput digital epifluorescence microscopy (EPI). Samples to estimate the nano- and microplankton (0.2-2.0-µm and 2.0-20-µm size, respectively) are collected at various depths, preserved, stained, and filtered onto a membrane filter and mounted on a glass microscope slide aboard the process cruises (since 2006, ongoing). Slides are then frozen at -80°C for subsequent imaging and analysis in the laboratory onshore.
Size group (pico, nano, micro) and group total carbon estimates from cell counts via epifluorescent microscopy (EPI) of heterotrophic and autotrophic plankton from CCE LTER process cruises in the California Current region, 2006 - 2016
Microbial community assemblages of the California Current Ecosystem (CCE) are assessed for biomass of heterotrophic (dinoflagellate and other eukaryotes) and autotrophic (dinoflagellate and other eukaryotes) plankton using high-throughput digital epifluorescence microscopy (EPI). Samples to estimate the nano- and microplankton (0.2-2.0-µm and 2.0-20-µm size, respectively) are collected at various depths, preserved, stained, and filtered onto a membrane filter and mounted on a glass microscope slide aboard the process cruises (since 2006, ongoing). Slides are then frozen at -80°C for subsequent imaging and analysis in the laboratory onshore. Carbon biomass is computed from cell biovolumes.
Total Thorium-234 (Th-234) taken from discrete water column samples collected during CCE Process Cruises (2006 - 2017).
Thorium-234 (Th-234) is the first long-lived (half-life = 24.1 days) daughter particle of Uranium-238 (U-238). While U-238 is conserved in the ocean (it covaries with salinity and has a half-life of 4.5 billion years), Th-234 is scavenged onto particles and hence removed from the surface ocean when those particles sink to depth. By measuring vertical profiles of total Th-234 activity in the euphotic zone and assuming steady-state between production of Th-234 from U-238 decay and removal of Th-234 on sinking particles, we can thus estimate the export of Th-234 from sampled water parcels. These measurements of Th-234 export can be converted to estimates of carbon export by multiplying by the C:Th-234 ratio of sinking particles measured at the same time and location.
Fecal pellet flux summary from samples collected during CCE LTER process cruises in the California Current system, 2007 – present.
The collection and enumeration of sinking fecal pellets on CCE LTER Process cruises has been led by Mike Stukel since 2007. Sinking particles are collected in VERTEX-style particle interceptor traps (PIT) with an 8:1 aspect ratio, 70-mm diameter, and a baffle on top comprised of 13 smaller beveled tubes with a similar 8:1 aspect ratio. Tubes are deployed with a formalin-brine for a duration of 2-5 days. After recovery, samples are gently split on a Folsom splitter and typically 3/8 to 1/2 of two separate tubes are utilized for fecal pellet enumeration. After the cruise, samples for fecal pellet enumeration are placed in a settling chamber to allow fecal pellets to settle out. Overlying water is then strained through a 60-um filter to collect any pellets that may have remained in the water. Pellets were then placed on a gridded Petri dish and analyzed using a Zeiss Discovery stereomicroscope. Pellets were separated from other particles and photographed with a dedicated camera. Image processing was then conducted using either Image J or Image Pro to extract area and maximum feret length for each fecal pellet. Pellets were classified by shape and shape-appropriate equations were used to determine the volume of each fecal pellet. Volume was converted to mass using the equations in Stukel et al. (2013). Fecal pellet mass flux is the sum of the mass of all fecal pellets for a sample multiplied by a conversion factor that takes into account the proportion of the gridded petri dish that was enumerated, the fraction of the PIT tube that was used for fecal pellet enumeration, the cross-sectional area of the PIT tube, and the deployment duration. Standard error of the mean is determined from the two samples enumerated for each sediment trap deployment. For more details please see Stukel et al. (2013) or Morrow et al. (submitted). Knauer, G. A., J. H. Martin and K. W. Bruland (1979). "Fluxes of particulate carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in the upper water column of the Northe
Copepod Egg Production Rates from CCE Process Cruises, 2011-2019 (ongoing).
Egg production rates were determined on CCE process cruises for three species of copepod: Calanus pacificus, Metridia pacifica, and Eucalanus californicus. Copepods were collected by bongo net and adult females were promptly sorted into individual Petri dishes. Dishes were checked for eggs every 12 hours for a period of 24 hours for C. pacificus and M. pacifica, and 72 hours for E. californicus. Egg production rates are expressed as eggs per female per day. Eggs were incubated for an additional 36 hours for assessment of hatching success. The prosome length of the adult females was measured by ocular micrometer. Egg production rates can be used as a metric of secondary production.
Picophytoplankton and bacteria abundances analyzed with flow cytometry (FCM) from CCE LTER process cruises the California Current region, 2006 - 2017.
Picophytoplankton populations and non-pigmented prokaryotes are sampled within the California Current Ecosystem (CCE) for abundances at various depths. Seawater is collected from Niskin bottles and cells are fixed in the field aboard the process cruises (since 2006, ongoing) with paraformaldehyde, and stained with a DNA-specific dye back in the laboratory. The cells are enumerated by an Altra flow cytometer (with a syringe pump for volumetric sample delivery) simultaniously with argon ion lasers, to distinguish three major populations of photoautotrophs (Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, and pico-eukaryotes) and the assemblage of heterotrophic prokaryotes collectively referred to as H-Bact.
Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) sensor profile data binned by depth from stations within the CCE region from CCE LTER process cruises, 2006 - 2017 (ongoing).
Since 2006 (ongoing), the CCE LTER program has deployed a Seabird 911 CTD mounted on a 24-bottle rosette during Process cruises in the CCE region. The CTD-rosette is lowered into the ocean (to depths up to 1000m) at selected hydrographic stations and multiple times across fronts, using the ship's conductive-wire winch. Data from many sensors are transmitted up the conductive wire and displayed real-time on a data aquistion computer. Discrete seawater samples are collected in 10L bottles at specific depths determined by the chlorophyll maximum and mixed layer depth. These samples are analyzed at sea and used to assess the CTD sensor data quality, plus measure additional properties. Processed CTD profile data are binned by depth and include: depth, temperature, salinity, density (sigma theta), oxygen, O2 saturation, PAR (radiation, surface radiation, and % irradiance), fluorescence, transmission, and nitrate. These data are then compared to the seawater sample data, and corrected if necessary.
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) pigment analysis from rosette bottle samples at various depths from CCE LTER process cruises in the California Current System, 2006 to 2017.
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) samples are collected from rosette bottles (from three to eight different depths in the photic zone) at stations located within the CCE region on Process cruises (since 2006, ongoing). The HPLC method is used to measure concentrations of chlorophylls and carotenoids in samples of particulate matter, which includes filtering and freezing the filter while at sea. The taxon-specific phyto-pigments are extracted back onshore. Concentrations of chlorophyll a are used as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass and concentrations of other taxon-specific pigments are used to determine contributions of phytoplankton taxa to total phytoplankton biomass.
Picophytoplankton and bacteria total carbon estimates from cell counts analyzed with flow cytometry (FCM) from CCE LTER process cruises in the California Current region, 2006 - 2017.
Picophytoplankton populations and non-pigmented prokaryotes are sampled within the California Current Ecosystem (CCE) for abundances from various depths. Seawater is collected from Niskin bottles and cells are fixed in the field aboard the survey cruises (since 2004, ongoing) with paraformaldehyde, and stained with a DNA-specific dye back in the laboratory. The cells are enumerated by an Altra flow cytometer (with a syringe pump for volumetric sample delivery) simultaniously with argon ion lasers, to distinguish three major populations of photoautotrophs (Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, and pico-eukaryotes) and the assemblage of heterotrophic prokaryotes collectively referred to as H-Bact. FCM abundance estimates for each are converted to carbon biomass equivalents using mixed-layer estimates.

Greenhouse test of plant ecophysiological traits or responses to nitrogen:Effects of Long Term Fertilization and Oak Canopy Cover on Plant Communities and Ecosystem Processes
In 1996 E142 was established in field D on top of the E004 macroplots. E004 was conducted in fields A, B, C and D by Dave Tilman. The purpose of E004 was to see what effect NH4NO3 addition has on large areas over a longer period of time with exposure to naturally-occurring levels of herbivory. The nutrient addition treatments in E004, E142 plots have been applied annually since 1982. These experiments, along with others at Cedar Creek, examine the community and ecosystem consequences of chronic nutrient loading.
Fire Severity: Biodiversity II: Effects of Plant Biodiversity on Population and Ecosystem Processes
Biodiversity II (E120) is designed to determine how the number of plant species affects the dynamics of ecological processes at the population, community, and ecosystem levels. By experimentally manipulating the number of species and the kinds of species, the amount of plant growth and the change from year to year, that result can be examined. Plots are large (9m x 9m actively maintained) and well-replicated, allowing responses of plant pathogens, insect herbivores, seed predators, soil parameters, invasive plant species and other variables to also be studied. Plots were seeded in May 1994 to have 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 species, with roughly 30 replicates of each diversity level. The species composition of each plot was chosen by random draw from a pool of 18 grassland perennials that included four warm-season (C4) grasses, four cool-season (C3) grasses, four legumes, four non-legume forbs, and two woody species. All species occur in monoculture allowing comparison of responses of each species in monoculture to combinations of these same species. The experiment was established in 1994 by the lead investigators David Tilman, Peter Reich, Johannes Knops, and David Wedin. Experiment 120 is similar to Experiment 123, but it uses larger plots to provide a large capacity for long-term subexperiments.
