SONGS Mitigation Monitoring: Experimental Reef Survey - Benthic Algae and Invertebrate Abundance
These data describe annual estimates of the density of benthic macroalgae and macroinvertebrates at an artificial reef (Wheeler North Reef in Orange County, CA) and two natural reference reefs (San Mateo Kelp in Orange County, CA and Barn Kelp in San Diego County, CA). Data were collected from 2000 to 2004 as part of the experimental phase of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) kelp reef mitigation program. In the summer of each year, divers identified and counted species of benthic macroalgae and macroinvertebrates in quadrats of varying size that were uniformly distributed along fixed transects at each reef.
SONGS Mitigation Monitoring: Experimental Reef Survey - Benthic Algae, Invertebrate, and Substrate Cover
These data describe annual estimates of the percent cover of benthic macroalgae, sessile macroinvertebrates, and substrate types at an artificial reef (Wheeler North Reef in Orange County, CA) and two natural reference reefs (San Mateo Kelp in Orange County, CA and Barn Kelp in San Diego County, CA). Data were collected from 2000 to 2004 as part of the experimental phase of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) kelp reef mitigation program. In the summer of each year, divers identified and recorded species of algae and sessile macroinvertebrates, and substrate types under twenty uniformly placed points within 1 m2 quadrats that were uniformly distributed along fixed transects at each reef.

Eight Mile Lake Research Watershed, Carbon in Permafrost Experimental Heating Research (CiPEHR): Invertebrate Communities, 2015
The Carbon in Permafrost Experimental Heating Research (CiPEHR) project addresses the following questions: 1) Does ecosystem warming cause a net release of C from the ecosystem to the atmosphere?, 2) Does the decomposition of old C, that comprises the bulk of the soil C pool, influence ecosystem C loss?, and 3) How do winter and summer warming alone, and in combination, affect ecosystem C exchange? We are answering these questions using a combination of field and laboratory experiments to measure ecosystem carbon balance and radiocarbon isotope ratios at a warming experiment located in an upland tundra field site near Healy, Alaska in the foothills of the Alaska Range. In this study, we examined how Arctic terrestrial invertebrate communities are affected by warmer summer temperatures and thawing permafrost through the changes in plant productivity, quality, and composition. Using a seven year manipulation of summer air temperatures and winter soil temperatures in the Alaskan tundra we sampled the invertebrate communities in the summer of 2015. Specifically, we asked (1) how do invertebrate communities differ with warmer summer temperatures and thawing permafrost, and (2) are invertebrate community differences due to changes in plant composition, productivity or quality?
Eight Mile Lake Research Watershed, Thaw Gradient: Invertebrate Communities, 2015
In this larger study, we are asking the question: Is old carbon that comprises the bulk of the soil organic matter pool released in response to thawing of permafrost? We are answering this question by using a combination of field and laboratory experiments to measure radiocarbon isotope ratios in soil organic matter, soil respiration, and dissolved organic carbon, in tundra ecosystems. The objective of these proposed measurements is to develop a mechanistic understanding of the SOM sources contributing to C losses following permafrost thawing. We are making these measurements at an established tundra field site near Healy, Alaska in the foothills of the Alaska Range. Field measurements center on a natural experiment where permafrost has been observed to warm and thaw over the past several decades. This area represents a gradient of sites each with a different degree of change due to permafrost thawing. As such, this area is unique for addressing questions at the time and spatial scales relevant for change in arctic ecosystems. In this study we examined how Arctic terrestrial invertebrate communities are affected by thawing permafrost through the changes in plant productivity, quality, and composition. Using a natural permafrost gradient in the Alaskan tundra we sampled the invertebrates in the summer of 2015. Specifically we asked (1) how do invertebrate communities differ with thawing permafrost, and (2) are invertebrate community differences due to changes in plant composition, productivity or quality.
Effects of vertebrate and invertebrate herbivory on plant cover in early successional habitat: Stem production and browsing on plants within experimental plots on the Tanana River 2012-2013
This dataset contains information on stem production and browsing on plants within experimental plots on the Tanana River. There are 6 permanent plots, each of which contains two fenced subplots and two unfenced subplots. Subplots are sprayed with either insecticide (insect-treated subplots) or water (controls) annually. This particular dataset contains the number and size of stems produced by Salix interior on unfenced study plots, and the number and size of stems browsed, during 2012-13.
Patch occupancy sampling of invertebrates and salamanders from Coweeta Synoptic sampling sites located in the Upper Little Tennessee River Basin, 2009 to 2012.
This research was conducted in Macon County, North Carolina, as part of the Coweeta LTER synoptic sampling program. In the summers of 2009-2012 we sampled and counted Tallaperla species, Elimia species, fish, and salamanders found in a 150meter stretch at the synoptic sites, a total of 44 sites. The 150meter stretch was divided into thirty 5meter plots that were sampled on three occasions each year of sampling; in 2009 all 44 sites were sample, in 2010 a subset of 8 sites were sampled, in 2011 a subset of 9 sites were sampled, and in 2012 a subset of 8 sites were sampled.
Invertebrates on the tidal flats of the Virginia Coast, May 2016
Invertebrate composition, size and mass measurements were taken on tidal flats on the Virginia Coast. Data table 1 (Invertebrates2016a.csv): Invertebrates collected from mudflats during May 2016. Cores were 15 cm inner diameter and 10 cm deep, all epifauna and infauna collected. If cores were collected from macroalgal patch then macroalgae and epifauna were also taken. Data table 2 (InvCleanwZerosa.csv): Abundances and weights of invertebrates collected from mudflats May 2018. Cores were 7 cm inner diameter and 7 cm deep. Eight cores were collected per site from randomly selected sampling locations along a 120 m transect. 600 micron mesh used, all epifauna and infauna within core area collected. Data table 3 (Site_codes_Lat_Lon_2016_2018.csv): contains location information on sampling sites during 2016 and 2018.
Benthic invertebrates from intertidal mudflats at the on the coast of Virginia, 2016
We surveyed benthic invertebrates, primarily infauna, during the summer of 2016 on several intertidal mudflats using wet- sieved sediment cores. Infauna cores (25 cm diameter, 10 cm deep) were taken along 100 meter transects (4 sites; 2-4 transects per site; 4 cores per transect). Polychaete individuals were identified to family, while other taxa were identified to phylum or lower. Some groups were counted together, as follows: Gastropods (sea slugs, nudibranchs, snails); small crustaceans (amphipods, isopods and shrimp); large crustaceans (crabs); bivalves (clams). The cnidaria group here is composed of burrowing anemones, Enteropneusta is the acorn worm and Diptera here is burrowing fly larvae. Data Table 1 provides the numbers of different taxa from each core taken along each transect at each site. Additionally, the AFDW (ash free dry weight) of the infauna sampled is included. Data Table 2 provides a summary of the polychaete biodiversity data presented in Spreadsheet 1, with the total counts for each polychaete family found at the four different sites. Samples were collected during May of 2016. Polychaetes were identified using Polychaete Key for Chesapeake Bay and Coastal Virginia (Bartholomew 2001).

Data from: Invertebrate phenology modulates the effect of the leaf economics spectrum on litter decomposition rate across 41 subtropical woody plant species
<ol> <li>Litter quality and decomposers are critical to carbon and nutrient cycling through litter decomposition. However, how relationships between litter quality and invertebrate detritivores change litter mass loss through time is poorly known. Species' initial leaf litter quality, as a legacy of their position on the "leaf economics spectrum" (LES), may determine the invertebrate contribution to litter mass loss. This contribution may change through time, as both population peaks of invertebrate detritivores and litter quality of given species will change through time.</li> <li>Here we introduce invertebrate phenology into a conceptual model of drivers of litter mass loss. We hypothesized that in the early decomposition period, LES can predict litter decomposability with or without a strong invertebrate contribution, i.e., litter with higher nutrient content would decompose faster. But in the later decomposition period, when higher quality litter will already have decomposed too much and lower quality litters have still been less degraded, a strong invertebrate peak would coincide with relatively more consumption of initially lower quality litters; this would lead to a hump-back relationship between leaf litter mass loss and initial LES position in this period.</li> <li>We tested our hypothesis through a one-year field decomposition experiment using leaf litter of 41 woody species in each of two sites in subtropical forest in China; only one of these sites had a strong late peak of leaf litter-feeding moth larvae in the litter layer.</li> <li>LES score of litter species had a positive linear relationship with litter mass loss before the key invertebrate consumer peaks in the litter layer. However, with the invertebrates peaking later into the decomposition process, the invertebrate consumption peaked at initially lower quality litters, which altered the species' decomposability trajectory on the LES, consistent with the hypothesized hump-back relationship between leaf litter mass loss and LES. This phenomenon resulted in a strongly reduced slope of cumulative mass loss on initial LES score across species.</li> <li>Our finding highlights the importance of considering interactions between the timing of detritivore activities and the timing of litter quality for better understanding the relationships between soil animals and ecosystem carbon and nutrient cycling.</li> </ol>
