Indicative distribution map for Ecosystem Functional Group M1.10 Rhodolith/Maërl beds

<p>This archive contains indicative distribution maps and profiles for <strong>M1.10 Rhodolith/Maërl beds</strong>, a ecosystem functional group (EFG, level 3) of the <a href="https://global-ecosystems.org/">IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology</a> (v2.1). Please refer to Keith <em>et al.</em> (2020) and Keith <em>et al.</em> (2022) for details.</p> <p>The descriptive profiles provide brief summaries of key ecological traits and processes, maps are indicative of global distribution patterns, and are not intended to represent fine-scale patterns. The maps show areas of the world containing major (value of 1, coloured red) or minor occurrences (value of 2, coloured yellow) of each ecosystem functional group. Minor occurrences are areas where an ecosystem functional group is scattered in patches within matrices of other ecosystem functional groups or where they occur in substantial areas, but only within a segment of a larger region. Given bounds of resolution and accuracy of source data, the maps should be used to query which EFG are likely to occur within areas, rather than which occur at particular point locations. Detailed methods and references for the maps are included in the profile (xml format).</p>

ICARIA: spatially distributed climate projections from statistical downscaling

<p><strong>ICARIA </strong>project had as one of its main purposes to develop coherent, reliable and usable downscaled climate projections from the last CMIP6 in order to construct the basis for efficient support to climate adaptation and decision-making of the related stakeholders, supporting the adaptation of critical assets within the project. These projections were obtained with also the purpose of being freely available for further use in subsequent studies and, hence, foster adaptation to climate change in more areas. Therefore, ICARIA&rsquo;s climate information is already based on CMIP6 models and incorporating in its workflow the current SSPs. The presented high-resolution future climate projections display a unique dataset, being obtained from a high-quality and high-density set of weather observations that are then interpolated to the case studies of interest in a <strong>100x100m resolution grid,&nbsp;</strong>which is the main outcome offered in this publication. These models will provide the scenarios to be considered within the Risk Assessment and the design and development of all adaptation measures coming as ICARIA outcomes.</p> <p>For further details, find here a brief of the <strong>methodology </strong>followed:<strong> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>----- &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><em>The statistical downscaling methodology applied in ICARIA by FIC, named FICLIMA (Ribalaygua et al. 2013), consists of a two-step analogue/regression statistical method which has been used in national and international projects with good verification results (i.e.: Monjo et al. 2016). The first step is common for all simulated climate variables and it is based on an analogue stratification (Zorita et al. 1993). An analogue method was applied based on the hypothesis that &lsquo;analogue&rsquo; atmospheric patterns (predictors) should cause analogue local effects (predictands), which means that the number of days that were most similar to the day to be downscaled was selected. The similarity between any two days was measured according to three nested synoptic windows (with different weights) and four large-scale fields using a pseudo-Euclidean distance between the large-scale fields used as predictors. For each predictor, the weighted Euclidean distance was calculated and standardised by substituting it with the closest percentile of a reference population of weighted Euclidean distances for that predictor. This method is a good method for reproducing nonlinear relationships between predictors and the predictands, but it could not be used to simulate values outside of the range of observed values. In order to overcome this problem and obtain a better simulation, a second step was required.</em></p> <p><em>For this second step, the procedures applied depend on the variable of interest. To determine the temperature, multiple linear regression analysis for the selected number of most analogous days was performed for each station and for each problem day. From a group of potential predictors, the linear regression selected those with the highest correlation, using a forward and backward stepwise approach.</em></p> <p><em>For precipitation, a group of m problem days (we use the whole days of a month) is downscaled. For each problem day we obtain a &ldquo;preliminary precipitation amount&rdquo; averaging the rain amount of its n most analogous days, so we can sort the m problem days from the highest to the lowest &ldquo;preliminary precipitation amount&rdquo;. For assigning the final precipitation amount, all amounts of the m&times;n analogous days are sorted and clustered in m groups. Every quantity is finally assigned, orderly, to the m days previously sorted by the &ldquo;preliminary precipitation amount&rdquo;.</em></p> <p><em>For wind or relative humidity, the second step is a transfer function between the observed probability distribution and the simulated one using the averaged values from the n = 30 analogous days. Particularly, a parametric bias correction was performed to the time series obtained from the analogue stratification (first step). In order to estimate the improvement of this procedure, the bias correction was also applied to the direct model outputs.</em></p> <p><em>This second step done at a daily scale with an inner thorough verification procedure is essential and the main differentiating process of FICLIMA method. It extends beyond mean values to include extremes and covers all time scales, including daily intervals. With the verification it can be proven If the method correctly simulates changes from one day to the next, indicating an effective capture of the underlying physical connections between predictors and predictands. These physical links remain relatively consistent, even in the face of climate change (as opposed to purely empirical relationships that might shift). In essence, this approach theoretically addresses the primary challenge in statistical downscaling known as the non-stationarity problem. This problem questions the stability of predictor/predictand relationships established in the past, probing whether these relationships will persist in the future.</em></p> <p>-----</p> <p>The dataset shared here includes information for the three case studies tackled in ICARIA: <strong>Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB), Salzburg Region (SLZ), and South Aegean Region (SAR)</strong>.

Sub-micron aerosol particle size distribution collected in the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2016/2017, during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition.

<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>The authors would highly appreciate to be contacted if the data is used for any purpose.</p> <p>We measured sub-micrometer aerosol particles with two scanning mobility particle spectrometers (SMPSs) between 11 and 400 nm (file name ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution.csv) in 100 bins, and 11 and 181 nm in 77 bins - so no data entry in the remaining 23 bins - (ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution_nano.csv) at a time resolution of five minutes during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE). Particles in this size range are important for cloud formation because a sub-set of them can act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).</p> <p>The time series of the size distribution shows that the particle population over the Southern Ocean can be quite variable featuring three dominant modes: a new particle formation mode (11 &ndash; 30 nm); an Aitken mode (20 &ndash; 70 nm); and an accumulation mode (&gt; 70 nm). Often a concentration minimum between the Aitken and accumulation mode can be observed. It is known as Hoppel minimum (Hoppel and Frick, 1990; 10.1016/0960-1686(90)90020-N). Typically, particles larger than this minimum act as CCN. The variability of the particle size spectrum is a result of particle sources and atmospheric processes. Sea spray generation adds larger particles likely with a peak in the mode around 200 nm. Trace gas emissions from microbial communities in the ocean, such as dimethylsulfide (DMS) will be oxidized to either sulphuric acid or methanesulfonic acid in the atmosphere which condense onto pre-existing particles, hence growing those. Sulphuric acid can also form new particles (new particle formation mode). Rain and snow will remove particles larger than the Hoppel minimum.</p> <p>The data set can be used to explore the variability of the particle size distribution in three different oceans around Antarctica (Indian, Pacific, Atlantic Oceans) and from Cape Town to Europe in relation to weather patterns, air mass trajectories, microbial activity etc. It is best used in combination with CCN data to explore the importance of particles for cloud formation. This data set cannot be used to unambiguously determine sources of particles over the southern ocean or to trace anthropogenic impact in the region.</p> <p>The data have been cleaned from the influence of the exhaust of the research vessel.</p> <p>We give five-minute average data as dN/dlog(dp), where dN is the particle number concentration per measured size bin normalized over the logarithm of the bin width. The bin width is defined as the distance between two diameters. They are spaced equally in log-space with dlog(dp) = log(d_n+1/d_n) = 1/64. To derive the total particle number concentration between 11 and 400 nm one has to integrate over the diameter range taking into account the normalization by dlog(dp).</p> <p>Temporal coverage is from December 20, 2016 to April 10, 2017. The file &ldquo;ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution.csv&rdquo; covers the entire time period except between 9 and 14 January 2017 due to instrument issues. The file &ldquo;ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution_nano.csv&rdquo; contains data for the period between 9 and 14 January 2017 and can be used to fill the above gap.

Coarse mode aerosol particle size distribution collected in the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2016/2017, during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition.

<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>The authors would highly appreciate to be contacted if the data is used for any purpose.</p> <p>We measured coarse mode aerosol particle size distributions with an aerodynamic particle sizer (APS, model TSI 3321) at a time resolution of five minutes during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE). The diameter range is 0.7 to 19 &micro;m. Particles in this size range are indicative of primary sea spray aerosol, biological particles and potentially long-range transported mineral dust. These particles are also important for cloud formation as they act as cloud condensation nuclei or ice nucleating particles, the latter especially in the case of biological particles and mineral dust.</p> <p>Typically the instrument reports data starting from particles with a diameter greater than 500 nm, however, particle number concentrations in the channels below 723 nm were overestimated, which is a common artefact with this instrument.</p> <p>The data have been cleaned from the influence of the exhaust of the research vessel. Temporal coverage is from December 20, 2016 to April 10, 2017. We give five-minute averaged data as dN/dlog(dp), where dN is the particle number concentration per measured size bin normalized over the logarithm of the bin width. The bin width is defined as the distance between two diameters. They are spaced equally in log-space with dlog(dp) = log(d_n+1/d_n) = 1/32. To derive the total particle number concentration one has to integrate over the diameter range taking into account the normalization by dlog(dp).</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <ul> <li>ACESPACE_coarse_mode_aerosol_particle_size_distribution.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>data_file_header.txt, metadata, text</li> <li>README.md, metadata, text</li> </ul> <p>NaN values in a complete row denote missing values because of e.g., ship exhaust contamination, maintenance, instrument failure.

Distribution and habitat use of juvenile Feather River salmonids: 25 years and ongoing of snorkel surveys

Since 1999, the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has conducted annual snorkel surveys to monitor juvenile salmon on the Feather River. The objective of this data collection effort is to determine the relative abundance and distribution of rearing juvenile Chinook salmon and steelhead. A secondary objective is to collect baseline data for future monitoring programs associated with habitat restoration projects. Crews survey units within 20 sampling sections on the high flow (HFC) and low flow channel (LFC) between January and September and collect information on species, fish size, substrate, cover, and habitat type. This dataset represents an extensive time series that could be used to identify habitat conditions where juvenile Chinook salmon and steelhead occur and how these conditions have changed over time. These data were published to support the Healthy Rivers and Landscapes Program.

NEON distributed initial soil characterization dataset (DP1.10047.001) modified for statistical analysis of organic carbon and extractable metals in Hall and Thompson (2021)

We compiled National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) datasets related to the initial distributed soil sampling effort and subsetted them (removed samples with missing values for certain variables, and several samples with extreme values) for use in statistical analyses to describe relationships between soil organic carbon (SOC) and metals measured in several soil chemical extractions. The NEON provisional data products we used were DP1.10047.001 and DP1.10008.001, which were subsequently combined by NEON as a single data product DP1.10047.001, “Soil physical and chemical properties, distributed initial characterization”. These datasets were used for the analyses reported in a manuscript by Hall and Thompson (2021) in the Soil Science Society of America Journal.

Wetland abundance and distribution changes in Sycamore Creek, Arizona, USA (2014-2019)

The primary objective of this project is to understand how long-term climate variability and change influence the structure and function of desert streams via effects on hydrologic disturbance regimes. Climate and hydrology are intimately linked in arid landscapes; for this reason, desert streams are particularly well suited for both observing and understanding the consequences of climate variability and directional change. Researchers try to (1) determine how climate variability and change over multiple years influence stream biogeomorphic structure (i.e., prevalence and persistence of wetland and gravel-bed ecosystem states) via their influence on factors that control vegetation biomass, and (2) compare interannual variability in within-year successional patterns in ecosystem processes and community structure of primary producers and consumers of two contrasting reach types (wetland and gravel-bed stream reaches). This dataset was collected to understand: (1) the spatial pattern of wetland distribution and abundance; (2) the influence of multi-annual variability in hydrological regime on wetland distribution and abundance; and (3) the mechanism of the resilience of wetland to different disturbances in terms of hydrology (i.e., drying and flooding).

Biomass and abiotic variable data in the study of the ecosystem engeneering effect of oysters on Suaeda linearis distribution in Georgia salt marshes (2008-2009)

Oysters are ecosystem engineers in marine ecosystems, but the functions of oyster shell deposits in intertidal salt marshes are not well understood. The annual plant Suaeda linearis is associated with oyster shell deposits in Georgia salt marshes. We hypothesized that oyster shell deposits promoted the distribution of Suaeda linearis by engineering soil conditions unfavorable to dominant salt marsh plants of the region (the shrub Borrichia frutescens, the rush Juncus roemerianus and the grass Spartina alterniflora). We tested this hypothesis using common garden pot experiments and field transplant experiments. Suaeda linearis thrived in Borrichia frutescens stands in the absence of neighbors, but was suppressed by Borrichia frutescens in the with-neighbor treatment, suggesting that Suaeda linearis was excluded from Borrichia frutescens stands by interspecific competition. Suaeda linearis plants all died in Juncus roemerianus and Spartina alterniflora stands, indicating that Suaeda linearis is excluded from these habitats by physical stress (likely water-logging). In contrast, Borrichia frutescens, Juncus roemerianus and Spartina alterniflora all performed poorly in Suaeda linearis stands regardless of neighbor treatments, probably due to physical stresses such as low soil water content and low organic matter content. Thus, oyster shell deposits play an important ecosystem engineering role in influencing salt marsh plant communities by providing a unique niche for Suaeda linearis, which otherwise would be rare or absent in salt marshes in the southeastern US. Since the success of Suaeda linearis is linked to the success of oysters, efforts to protect and restore oyster reefs may also benefit salt marsh plant communities.

Mollusc population size distribution monitoring: Fall 2013 mid-marsh and creekbank infaunal and epifaunal mollusc size distributions based on collections from GCE marsh monitoring sites 1-10

This data set is the Fall 2013 report of infaunal and epifaunal mollusk species size distributions at the GCE-LTER marsh sites used for population monitoring. Infaunal and epifaunal molluscs were hand-collected from within quadrats of known area from mid-marsh and creekbank zones (n = 4 quadrats per zone) at all sites. The molluscs were returned to the lab, preserved in ethanol, measured and counted (count data is reported separately). Length of each measurable individual was determined using calipers or an ocular micrometer mounted in a stereomicroscope. Species abundance and density data for these collections may be found in the GCE-LTER data set INV-GCEM-1407. Numbers of individuals of each species in the abundance data file may not correspond exactly to the numbers of individuals in the size data file because some individuals may not have been measureable.

Effect of salt water intrusion on the distribution of invertebrates in a GA tidal freshwater marshes from the GCE Seawater Addition Long-Term Experiment (SALTEx) project.

To characterize the effect of persistent and episodic salt water intrusion on the distribution of common freshwater marsh invertebrates, we monitored the density of adult and juvenile fiddler crabs and snails. Prior to the start of salt water addition treatments, we collected data on the distribution of crabs and snails in all 30 experimental plots (6 replicates of 5 treatments: pressed salt water addition, pulsed salt water addition, fresh water addition, procedural control structure, and control no structure). In each experimental plot, we counted the number of adult and juvenile fiddler crab burrows and snails visible on the marshs surface in a 50cm x 75cm plot (juvenile fiddler crabs were counted in only half of this area) that was positioned in the Northeastern corner of each experimental plot. Initial data was collected in March 2014. A Bentho Torch was used to measure the concentrations of cyanobacteria, diatoms, and green algae on the marsh surface in 2015 and 2016.
