Marine macrobenthic assemblages off Bevano River mouth (2019)

This dataset provides the abundance (ind. m-2) of marine macrobenthic invertebrate species at 39 random sampling points from 0.5 to 8 m depth along the coast (5 km) off the NATURA 2000 site IT4070009 "Ortazzo, Ortazzino e Foce del Torrente Bevano", sampled from 22 May to 4 July, 2019. Sediment grain size and organic matter are also provided. The dataset is provided in three formats:  - Microsoft Excel XLSX file, including 3 sheets (Dataset, Fields and units, Taxonomy)  - CSV files (UTF-8), 3 files corresponding to the 3 sheets of the Excel file  - ESRI Shapefile (UTF-8, geometry point, EPSG:4326 - WGS 84) The dataset includes 39 records, one for each sampling point, and 111 fields. The first 12 fields are described in Table 4). The following fields concern the abundance of the identified taxa as individuals preserved in alcohol sorted and classified under microscope (ind. m-2 ± 10). All the dataset fields are described in the file “Fields and units”, while the taxonomic related information for each taxon is provided in the file “Taxonomy”. Information extracted from the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS; <a href="https://marinespecies.org/">https://marinespecies.org/</a>) is provided here. A total of 99 soft bottom taxa belonging to the Phyla Annelida (29), Arthropoda (28), Cnidaria (1), Echinodermata (2), Mollusca (37), Nemertea (1), and Phoronida (1) were identified. Of these, 51 have been recognized at species level. This dataset comes from the project "Characterization of the mouth area of the Bevano River and identification of strategies for the conservation and enhancement of nursery areas for protected species of commercial interest", carried out by the Interdepartmental Research Center for Environmental Sciences (CIRSA) of the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna. The project was financed by the Emilia-Romagna Region (call FLAG Costa dell'Emilia-Romagna 2018) with funds from the European Union (FEAMP 2014/2020, Action 2.A.a, "Marine and lagoon habitats - Studies and research"), and took place from January to August 2019 (Abbiati et al., 2019 DOI: <a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4016598">10.5281/zenodo.4016598</a>). This dataset has been revised and completed within the project "Ecosystem for Sustainable Transition in Emilia-Romagna" (Code: ECS_00000033 - CUP: B33D21019790006; Mission 04 Education and research - Component 2 From research to business Investment 1.5 - NextGenerationEU) .   First 12 fields in the dataset. <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> Field </td> <td> Darwin Core term </td> <td> Unit </td> <td> Precision </td> <td> Note </td> </tr> <tr> <td> locationID </td> <td> locationID </td> <td> NA </td> <td> NA </td> <td> Sampling location identifier (ID) specific to the data set </td> </tr> <tr> <td> samplingDate </td> <td> eventDate </td> <td> YYYY-MM-DD </td> <td> NA </td> <td> Conforms to ISO 8601-1:2019 </td> </tr> <tr> <td> samplingTime </td> <td> eventTime </td> <td> HH:MM </td> <td> ± 10 min </td> <td> Central European Summer Time CEST (UTC+2) conforms to ISO 8601-1:2019 </td> </tr> <tr> <td> decimalLatitude </td> <td> decimalLatitude </td> <td> decimal degrees </td> <td> ± 0.00001 </td> <td> WGS84 (EPSG: 4326) - WAAS/EGNOS enabled GPS position </td> </tr> <tr> <td> decimalLongitude </td> <td> decimalLongitude </td> <td> decimal degrees </td> <td> ± 0.00001 </td> <td> WGS84 (EPSG: 4326) - WAAS/EGNOS enabled GPS position </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Depth </td> <td> maximumDepthInMeters </td> <td> m </td> <td> ± 0.1 </td> <td> Mean Lower Low Water - measured with echosounder or depth gauge corrected by tide gauge of Porto Corsini (RA) </td> </tr> <tr> <td> SamplingGear </td> <td> NA </td> <td> NA </td> <td> NA </td> <td> Van Veen grab operated from boat or bailer manually operated by diver inside a cylindrical frame </td> </tr> <tr> <td> SamplingArea </td> <td> NA </td> <td> m^2 </td> <td> ± 0.001 </td> <td> Sampler size </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Mud </td> <td> NA </td> <td> % dry mass </td> <td> ± 0.1% </td> <td> <63 µ wet sieved recovered on Whatman filter paper and then dried at 80°C for 24 hours before weighing at ± 0.00001 g </td> </tr> <tr> <td> FineSand </td> <td> NA </td> <td> % dry mass </td> <td> ± 0.1% </td> <td> 250-63 µ wet sieved recovered on Whatman filter paper and then dried at 80°C for 24 hours before weighing at ± 0.00001 g </td> </tr> <tr> <td> MediumSand </td> <td> NA </td> <td> % dry mass </td> <td> ± 0.1% </td> <td> >250 µ wet sieved recovered on Whatman filter paper and then dried at 80°C for 24 hours before weighing at ± 0.00001 g </td> </tr> <tr> <td> OrganicMatter </td> <td> NA </td> <td> % dry mass </td> <td> ± 0.1% </td> <td> Loss on Ignition (LOI%) at 450°C 8h and weighted at ± 0.00001 g </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Actiniaria </td> <td> NA </td> <td> ind. m^-2 </td> <td> ± 10 </td> <td> Individuals preserved in alcohol sorted and classified under microscope </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

Odonata Assemblage in Metropolitan Area of Puerto Rico (2018-2019, Wet and Dry Season)

Data comes from a project that aimed to identify the effects of urbanization on stream habitat quality and associated odonate assemblages in Puerto Rico. In this study, 16 streams along a rural to urban gradient in the San Juan Metropolitan Area were sampled. Each stream was characterized using the Stream Visual Assessment Protocol (SVAP) for Puerto Rico and by analyzing their surrounding land cover. A 100-m segment of each stream was surveyed to assess adult odonate richness and abundance during the rainy and dry seasons. Adults were identified visually, and their abundance was recorded. Data is a product of: Maldonado-Benítez, Mariani-Ríos & Ramírez (2022): Effects of urbanization on Odonata assemblages in tropical island streams in San Juan, Puerto Rico. International Journal of Odonatology, 25, 31–42 doi:10.48156/1388.2022.1917163

Ant Assemblages in Hemlock Removal Experiment at Harvard Forest since 2003 (Reformatted to the ecocomDP Design Pattern)

This data package is formatted as an ecocomDP (Ecological Community Data Pattern). For more information on ecocomDP see https://github.com/EDIorg/ecocomDP. This Level 1 data package was derived from the Level 0 data package found here: https://pasta.lternet.edu/package/metadata/eml/knb-lter-hfr/118/33. The abstract below was extracted from the Level 0 data package and is included for context: Ants comprise a considerable amount of animal biomass in terrestrial ecosystems and play major roles in ecological processes ranging from seed dispersal to soil turnover. Invasion by the hemlock woolly adelgid will transform late-successional hemlock forests into earlier successional mixed hardwood - white pine forests or red-maple wetlands. Understanding how ant assemblages vary in different habitat types allows for predictions of how hemlock decline could alter the composition of ant assemblages, with implications for a wide range of ecosystem processes. As part of the Hemlock Removal Experiment at the Simes Tract, we annually monitor ant species composition and abundance.

Hyporheic diatom community assemblages from Von Guerard Stream, Taylor Valley, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica in January 2019

In this data package, we present diatom community assemblages from hyporheic sediments collected in January 2019 from six transects across Von Guerard Stream, Taylor Valley, Antarctica. These samples were collected to address questions about the retention and processing of particulate organic matter in the hyporheic zone of McMurdo Dry Valley streams. The six transects were located at pools, riffles, and meanders (three of each geomorphology type) along Von Guerard Stream and extended across the stream channel to the edges of the wetted zone, ranging from 6.6 to 13.6 m in length. At each sampling location, we collected subsurface sediment sample that was preserved in formalin directly after sample collection. We characterized diatom assemblages by counting a total of 300 diatom valves from each preserved diatom sample. This data package is associated with a complementary data package that contains hyporheic sediment chemistry for the same samples.
