They were 13,881 vertebrates and 7,923 invertebrates. There are 11 phyla, with a clear dominance of Chordata (64%) and Arthropoda (29%), 36 classes, 154 orders, 473 families, 894 genera and 1,157 species.</p> <p>They were divided into the following habitats: terrestrial (30% of the total), freshwater (27%), oceanic (40%)<br> and estuarine (4%) (see <a href="https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.13449">https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.13449</a>)</p> <p>Software format: Data are supplied as delimited text files (.csv).</p>
Modelling NBSs for coastal erosion and marine flooding: the Emilia-Romagna case studies
<p>The study was conducted in the context of the OPEn-air laboRAtories for Nature baseD solUtions to Manage environmental risks (OPERANDUM) project which is an H2020 project which aims at providing tools and methodologies for the assessment of NBS efficiency around the world. Two NBs were tested via modelling simulations on the Bellocchio Beach at Lido di Spina (Italy) located in the northern part of the Emilia-Romagna coast (northern Adriatic Sea): an artificial dune built with natural materials and a marine seagrass meadow.</p> <p>The artificial dune is an engineered structure that will mimic the functioning of natural dunes. Its aims are reducing both natural dune erosion and flooding in adjacent coastal lowlands. It consists of a barrier between the sea and land, in a similar way to a seawall. Unlike the latter, the NBS are ‘dynamic’, i.e. the dune/beach system interacts a great deal and is constantly undergoing small adjustments in response to changes in wind and wave climate or sea level. Its construction involves the placement of sediment from dredged sources on the beach and it will be reinforced with a structure composed of biodegradable material. Different typologies of experimental solutions are foreseen.</p> <p>The second NBS consists of an alongshore seagrass belt located in front of the coastal area. It was investigated as a potential mechanism for wave amplitude reduction. Among the few species that can live in the northern Adriatic Sea, Zostera Marina was chosen due to its ability to live in a marine environment influenced by freshwaters. A more detailed description can be found in (Pillai et al., 2021).</p> <p>The numerical model chain, specifically developed for the study, consists of an Ocean Circulation model, so-called SHYFEM (Umgiesser et al., 2004), a wave model, so-called WWIII (Alves and Ardhuin, 2016), and a morphological model, so-called XBeach (Roelvink et al., 2009). Ten years of XBeach simulations have been executed to simulate the morphological impacts on the coastal strip for the present (2010-19) and future climate (2040-49). For each 10 years period, four scenarios were simulated: the baseline scenario without NBS (baseline_run), the scenario with the dune (dune_run), the scenario with the seagrass effect (seagrass_run) and the scenario with the two NBS integration (dune_seagrass_run).XBeach was forced with sea level and wave time series predicted by the SHYFEM and WWIII models respectively.</p> <p>The model domain consists in a curvilinear structured grid of about 3.2 km (longshore) x 2.8 km (cross-shore) covering the coastal stretch of Bellocchio beach at Lido di Spina (Italy) and extends seaward up to about 10 m depth.</p> <p>The performance of the NBSs and their impact on coastal erosion and marine flooding were investigated. For both present and future scenarios (201-2019 and 2040-2049), the reduction in wave intensity obtained with the seagrass provided greater benefits in terms of erosion mitigation and flood reduction. The analysis highlighted the limited scale of the dune intervention, in particular under present conditions, highlighting that the longer the artificial dune implemented, the larger the beach and dune area protected. For the future scenarios, the results are still significant and even small projects are expected to help in mitigating coastal erosion and marine flooding.</p> <p>For long-period simulations, no relevant improvements in reducing beach erosion was observed when the artificial dune was combined with the seagrass meadows with respect to the seagrass effects only. Instead, a dominant increase in sea levels will probably highlight the dune functions in hindering the marine ingression into the lagoon area behind and the consequent sediment redistribution.</p> <p>This dataset consists of XBeach model results, mainly:</p> <ul> <li>Morphological evolution of the coastal bottom at Bellocchio beach (Lido di Spina, Italy) in terms of initial and final bed levels, for the current (201-2019) and the future (2040-2049) scenarios.

Evidence of a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem documented via tourist submarine off Cape Well-Met, Vega Island, Eastern Antarctic Peninsula (Subarea 48.1) - Multimedia
<p>Video evidence of a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem (VME) was collected via submarine deployed by the tourist super-yacht MY Scenic Eclipse flagged with Malta. The dive was conducted on the 29th November 2019 within Subarea 48.1. The video of this resource supplements the dataset "Evidence of a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem documented via tourist submarine off Cape Well-Met, Vega Island, Eastern Antarctic Peninsula (Subarea 48.1) - data'' available at <a href="https://ipt.biodiversity.aq/resource?r=cape-well-met_2019">https://ipt.biodiversity.aq/resource?r=cape-well-met_2019</a>.</p> <p>Method step description:</p> <ol> <li> <p>Video evidence of a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem (VME) was collected via submarine deployed by the tourist super-yacht MY Scenic Eclipse flagged with Malta.

Marine plastics alter the organic matter composition of the air-sea boundary layer, with influences on CO2 exchange: a large-scale analysis method to explore future ocean scenarios
<p>Microplastics are substrates for microbial activity and can influence biomass production. This has potentially important implications in the sea-surface microlayer, the marine boundary layer that controls gas exchange with the atmosphere and where biologically produced organic compounds can accumulate. In the present study, we used six large scale mesocosms to simulate future ocean scenarios of high plastic concentration. Each mesocosm was filled with 3 m3 of seawater from the oligotrophic Sea of Crete, in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. A known amount of standard polystyrene microbeads of 30 μm diameter was added to three replicate mesocosms, while maintaining the remaining three as plastic-free controls. Over the course of a 12-day experiment, we explored microbial organic matter dynamics in the sea-surface microlayer in the presence and absence of microplastic contamination of the underlying water. Our study shows that microplastics increased both biomass production and enrichment of carbohydrate-like and proteinaceous marine gel compounds in the sea-surface microlayer. Importantly, this resulted in a 3 % reduction in the concentration of dissolved CO2 in the underlying water. This reduction was associated to both direct and indirect impacts of microplastic pollution on the uptake of CO2 within the marine carbon cycle, by modifying the biogenic composition of the sea's boundary layer with the atmosphere.</p>
Shipboard Conductivity–Temperature–Depth (CTD) and dissolved oxygen profile data collected during hypoxia surveys along six hydrographic sampling lines within Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary, 2004–2015
<p>This data set includes Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) and dissolved oxygen profile data that were collected along Washington State’s outer coast within Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS). Measurements were made along six cross-shelf hydrographic sampling lines during a series of hypoxia survey cruises from 2004 – 2015. The 398 CTD profiles were acquired using Sea-Bird Scientific 19 SeaCAT or 19plus SeaCAT CTD profilers with associated SBE-43 (Sea-Bird Electronics) or Beckman or YSI-type (Yellow Springs Instruments) dissolved oxygen sensors. The data were processed via Sea-Bird Scientific’s SBE Data Processing application using six of the modules in the following order: Data Conversion, Filter, Align CTD, Loop Edit, Derive, and Bin Average. These processing steps and associated methods are the same as those used to process CTD data collected during OCNMS mooring maintenance cruises (<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352340924001422">Risien et al., 2024</a>) and along the Newport Hydrographic Line (<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352340922001342">Risien et al., 2022</a>) located off the central Oregon coast.</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong>Station Name </strong></td> <td><strong>Latitude</strong></td> <td><strong>Longitude</strong></td> <td><strong>Water Depth (m, MLLW)</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Cape Alava (CA)</strong></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>CA010</td> <td>48.1661oN</td> <td>124.7540oW</td> <td>10</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CA020</td> <td>48.1661oN</td> <td>124.7598oW</td> <td>20</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CA030</td> <td>48.1659oN</td> <td>124.7783oW</td> <td>30</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CA040</td> <td>48.1659oN</td> <td>124.7852oW</td> <td>40</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CA045</td> <td>48.1659oN</td> <td>124.8335oW</td> <td>45</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CA050</td> <td>48.1658oN</td> <td>124.8578oW</td> <td>50</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CA060</td> <td>48.1659oN</td> <td>124.8843oW</td> <td>60</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CA070</td> <td>48.1655oN</td> <td>124.9011oW</td> <td>70</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CA080</td> <td>48.1657oN</td> <td>124.9141oW</td> <td>80</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CA090</td> <td>48.1659oN</td> <td>124.9247oW</td> <td>90</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CA100</td> <td>48.1658oN</td> <td>124.9319oW</td> <td>100</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Teahwhit Head (TH)</strong></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>TH030</td> <td>47.8759oN</td> <td>124.6481oW</td> <td>30</td> </tr> <tr> <td>TH035</td> <td>47.8761oN</td> <td>124.7024oW</td> <td>35</td> </tr> <tr> <td>TH040</td> <td>47.8760oN</td> <td>124.7281oW</td> <td>40</td> </tr> <tr> <td>TH050</td> <td>47.8761oN</td> <td>124.7567oW</td> <td>50</td> </tr> <tr> <td>TH060</td> <td>47.8765oN</td> <td>124.7822oW</td> <td>60</td> </tr> <tr> <td>TH070</td> <td>47.8765oN</td> <td>124.8084oW</td> <td>70</td> </tr> <tr> <td>TH080</td> <td>47.8768oN</td> <td>124.8415oW</td> <td>80</td> </tr> <tr> <td>TH090</td> <td>47.8769oN</td> <td>124.8868oW</td> <td>90</td> </tr> <tr> <td>TH100</td> <td>47.8769oN</td> <td>124.9182oW</td> <td>100</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Hoh Head (HH)</strong></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>HH025</td> <td>47.7688oN</td> <td>124.5605oW</td> <td>25</td> </tr> <tr> <td>HH042</td> <td>47.7688oN</td> <td>124.6428oW</td> <td>42</td> </tr> <tr> <td>HH065</td> <td>47.7688oN</td> <td>124.7401oW</td> <td>65</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Raft River (RR)</strong></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>RR015</td> <td>47.4632oN</td> <td>124.3748oW</td> <td>15</td> </tr> <tr> <td>RR020</td> <td>47.4644oN</td> <td>124.4510oW</td> <td>20</td> </tr> <tr> <td>RR042</td> <td>47.4632oN</td> <td>124.5199oW</td> <td>42</td> </tr> <tr> <td>RR065</td> <td>47.4629oN</td> <td>124.6074oW</td> <td>65</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Cape Elizabeth (CE)</strong></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>CE010</td> <td>47.3541oN</td> <td>124.3347oW</td> <td>10</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CE020</td> <td>47.354oN</td> <td>124.3608oW</td> <td>20</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CE030</td> <td>47.3538oN</td> <td>124.3913oW</td> <td>30</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CE040</td> <td>47.3534oN</td> <td>124.4678oW</td> <td>40</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CE050</td> <td>47.3532oN</td> <td>124.5064oW</td> <td>50</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CE060</td> <td>47.3529oN</td> <td>124.5510oW</td> <td>60</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CE070</td> <td>47.3528oN</td> <td>124.5823oW</td> <td>70</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CE080</td> <td>47.3527oN</td> <td>124.6158oW</td> <td>80</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CE090</td> <td>47.3526oN</td> <td>124.6491oW</td> <td>90</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CE100</td> <td>47.3522oN</td> <td>124.6754oW</td> <td>100</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Moclips (MO)</strong></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>MO010</td> <td>47.2214oN</td> <td>124.2394oW</td> <td>10</td> </tr> <tr> <td>MO015</td> <td>47.2214oN</td> <td>124.2599oW</td> <td>15</td> </tr> <tr> <td>MO020</td> <td>47.2214oN</td> <td>124.2791oW</td> <td>20</td> </tr> <tr> <td>MO030</td> <td>47.2195oN</td> <td>124.3347oW</td> <td>30</td> </tr> <tr> <td>MO042</td> <td>47.2195oN</td> <td>124.3958oW</td> <td>42</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

<p>Processed marine heatwave metrics are provided for the tropical western and central Pacific Ocean region (120°E-140°W, 40°S-15°N). The metrics are computed from daily sea surface temperature (SST) data, from both observations and models. The observed marine heatwave data are calculated from NOAA 0.25° daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (OISST) over the period 1982-2019. The modelled marine heatwave data are from analysis of 18 model simulations as part of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, Phase 6 (CMIP6) over the period 1982-2100, where two future scenarios have been analysed. Marine heatwaves are computed with respect to the 1995-2014 climatology. The marine heatwave data are provided on a grid point basis across the domain. Marine heatwave timeseries metrics are also provided for three case study regions: Fiji, Samoa, and Palau.</p>
ZooBase: A global synthesis of marine zooplankton species occurrences.
<p><em><strong>Description of the methods used to implement the present ZooBase dataset (extarct from Section A.2 from the Methods of Benedetti et al., 2021).</strong></em></p> <p>A new dataset of global zooplankton species occurrences was compiled in a comparable fashion to that put together for phytoplankton (Righetti et al., 2020). Prior to retrieving the occurrence data online, we first identified the phyla (Order/Class/Family) that comprise the bulk of extant oceanic zooplankton communities: Copelata (i.e. appendicularians), Ctenophora, Cubozoa (i.e. box jellyfish), Euphausiidae (i.e. krill), Foraminifera, Gymnosomata (i.e. sea angels, pteropods), Hydrozoa (i.e. jellyfish), Hyperiidea (i.e. amphipods), Myodocopina (i.e. ostracods), Mysidae (i.e. small pelagic shrimps resembling krill), Neocopepoda, Podonidae and <em>Penilia</em> <em>avirostris</em> (i.e. cladocerans), Sagittoidea (i.e. chaetognaths), Scyphozoa (i.e. jellyfish), Thaliacea (i.e. salps, doliolids and pyrosomes), Thecosomata (i.e. pteropods), and four families of pelagic Polychaeta (i.e. worms) that are often found in the zooplankton and whose species are known to display holoplanktonic lifecycles (Tomopteridae, Alciopidae, Lopadorrhynchidae, Typhloscolecidae). The presence data associated with species belonging to these groups were retrieved from OBIS and GBIF between the 12/04/2018 and the 18/04/2018 using online queries via the R packages RPostgreSQL, robis and rgbif. Since the Neocopepoda infra-class comprise several thousands of benthic and parasitic taxa (https://copepodes.obs-banyuls.fr/en/), a preliminary selection of the non-parasitic planktonic species had to be carried out prior to the online downloading using the species list of Razouls et al. (https://copepodes.obs-banyuls.fr/en/) as a reference. The spatial distributions of the groups cited above were first inspected using GBIF’s and OBIS’s online mapping tools to evaluate the potential number of overlapping observations between the two databases. As a result of their relatively low contributions to total observations/diversity, and very high overlap between databases, the occurrences of Cladocera and Polychaeta were retrieved from OBIS only (which usually harbours more occurrences). On top of the data collected from OBIS and GBIF, the copepod occurrences from Cornils et al. (2018) and the pteropod occurrences from the MAREDAT initiative (Buitenhuis et al., 2013) were added to the dataset. We discarded records that: (i) presented at least one missing spatial coordinate, (ii) were associated with an incomplete sampling date (d/m/y), (iii) were associated with a year of collection older than 1800, (iv) were not associated with any sampling depth, (v) were not identified down to the species level. Occurrences associated with grid cells shallower than 10m were removed (bathymetry data from ETOPOv1 at a 15min resolution, downloaded using the 'marmap' R package). Finally, every species name was then carefully examined and compared to the taxonomic reference list of the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS; <a href="http://www.marinespecies.org">http://www.marinespecies.org</a>) for all taxa. The AphiaID and the Status were retreived from WoRMS based on the ScientificName. To remove the duplicate occurrences due to the highly overlapping source archives (GBIF and OBIS), a unique occurrenceID was given to each record based on rounded spatial coordinates (closest 0.1°x0.1°), rounded depth layer (10m depth layers), month and year of the occurrence and the acccpted species name (e.g., AphiaID).</p> <p><strong>This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 862923.

Indicative distribution map for Ecosystem Functional Group M1.5 Photo-limited marine animal forests
<p>This archive contains indicative distribution maps and profiles for <strong>M1.5 Photo-limited marine animal forests</strong>, a ecosystem functional group (EFG, level 3) of the <a href="https://global-ecosystems.org/">IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology</a> (v2.0). Please refer to Keith <em>et al.</em> (2020) 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>
Indicative distribution map for Ecosystem Functional Group M4.2 Marine aquafarms
<p>This archive contains indicative distribution maps and profiles for <strong>M4.2 Marine aquafarms</strong>, a ecosystem functional group (EFG, level 3) of the <a href="https://global-ecosystems.org/">IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology</a> (v2.0). Please refer to Keith <em>et al.</em> (2020) 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.

Biodiversity Index, in 2019 and across RCP 4.5, and 8.5 scenarios in 2050 and 2100 of 1508 European Marine Species based on ensemble Ecological Niche Models developed with Artificial Neural Networks, Maximum Entropy, Support Vector Machines, and AquaMaps at 0.5° Resolution
<p>Biodiversity Index in 2019 and across RCP 4.5, and 8.5 scenarios in 2050 and 2100 of 1508 European marine species based on ensemble Ecological Niche Models developed with Artificial Neural Networks, Maximum Entropy, Support Vector Machines, and AquaMaps at 0.5° Resolution. The Index counts the number of species (among the 1508) potentially present in each 0.5° cell according to the ensemble models. For each ensemble model, a threshold of at least 3 models agreeing on species presence in the cell was used to indicate species presence.</p>
