SBC LTER: REEF: Macrocystis pyrifera biomass and environmental drivers in southern and central California
These data describe 1987-2019 time series of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) biomass and associated environmental variables (wave height, nitrate concentration, climate indices) at quarterly and annual time intervals. Data for spatially resolvable variables (giant kelp biomass, wave height, nitrate concentration) pertain to 361 coastline segments (500 m length) in southern and central California where giant kelp was persistent over the sampling period. Data are contained in 5 tables: 1) quarterly time series of giant kelp biomass, wave height, and nitrate concentrations for 361 coastline segments; 2) quarterly time series of aspatial climate indices (NPGO, MEI, PDO); 3) annual time series of giant kelp biomass, wave height, and nitrate concentrations for 361 coastline segments; 4) annual time series of aspatial climate indices (NPGO, MEI, PDO); 5) locations (latitude and longitude of center) of coastline segments. Kelp data are derived from satellite imagery using empirical relationships. Wave data are derived from an empirically validated swell propagation model. Nitrate data are derived from empirical relationships with remotely-sensed sea surface temperature.

Central California ROMS Output and Grid
<p>A portion of the ROMS output and grid for a sub-region of the Central California (100 m horizontal resolution) simulations. The output files (roms_sample_out.nc, roms_sample_out_2.nc) contains ROMS output vertically interpolated to z-levels (as opposed to sigma levels) for easier visualization and processing. The output file shows a period of perpendicular interaction between internal tidal bores and submesoscale fronts and filaments corresponding to results described in the publication. The grid file (sample_grd.nc) for this sub-domain is also included.</p> <p> </p>
Central California Shallow Nearshore Temperature for Marine Heatwave/Cold Spell Analysis
<p>These are daily-averaged temperature data for use in marine heatwave and cold spell analyses. The data were originally used and described in Dalsin et al. (2023): <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-39193-4">https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-39193-4</a></p> <p>Relevant details from Dalsin et al. (2023) copied below:</p> <p>Temperature data from a long-term, subtidal site located along the central California coast (USA). Data were collected in a shallow (~ 3 m nominal depth) nearshore site adjacent to the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant (35.2055°N, 120.8500°W). Originally established as a control site outside the influence of the power plant’s thermal outfall, these data span from 1978–2020 and make up the longest known in-situ temperature dataset in this region. Temperature was measured using thermistors sampling at 20-min intervals [see Table S1 in Dalsin et al. (2023)].</p> <p>We acknowledge John Steinbeck from Tenera and Pacific Gas & Electric for assistance acquiring the raw temperature data.</p> <div> </div>

Agricultural margins could enhance landscape connectivity for pollinating insects across the Central Valley of California, U.S.A.
<p>One of the defining features of the Anthropocene is eroding ecosystem services as a function of decreases in biodiversity and overall reductions in the abundance of once-common organisms, including many insects that play innumerable roles in natural communities and agricultural systems that support human society. It is now clear that the preservation of insects cannot rely solely on the legal protection of natural areas far removed from the densest areas of human habitation. Instead, a critical challenge moving forward is to intelligently manage areas that include intensively farmed landscapes, such as the Central Valley of California. Here we attempt to meet this challenge with a tool for modeling landscape connectivity for insects (with pollinators in particular in mind) that builds on available information including lethality of pesticides and expert opinion on insect movement. Despite the massive fragmentation of the Central Valley, we find that connectivity is possible, especially utilizing the restoration or improvement of agricultural margins which (in their summed-area) exceed natural areas. Finally, we highlight steps moving forward and the great many knowledge gaps that could be addressed in the field to improve future iterations of our modeling approach.</p>
Associated model data for: Size-selective predation effects on juvenile Chinook salmon cohort survival off Central California evaluated with an individual-based model
<p><span>T</span>his dataset corresponds to the paper "Size-selective predation effects on juvenile Chinook salmon cohort survival off Central California evaluated with an individual-based model" which is in press at Fisheries Oceanography. The abstract for this paper is as follows: </p> <p>Variation in the recruitment of salmon is often found to be correlated with marine climate indices, but mechanisms behind environment-recruitment relationships remain unclear and correlations often break down over time. We used an ecosystem modeling approach to explore bottom-up and top-down mechanisms linking a variable environment to salmon recruitment variations. Our ecosystem model incorporates a regional ocean circulation sub-model for hydrodynamics, a nutrient-phytoplankton-zooplankton sub-model for producing planktonic prey fields, and an individual-based model (IBM) representing juvenile Chinook salmon (<em>Oncorhynchus</em> <em>tshawytscha</em>), combined with observations of foraging distributions and diet of a seabird predator. The salmon IBM consists of modules, including a juvenile salmon growth module based on temperature and salmon-prey availability, a behavior-based movement module, and a juvenile salmon predation mortality module based on juvenile salmon size distribution and predator-prey interaction probability. Seabird-salmon interactions depend on spatial overlap and juvenile salmon size, whereby salmon that grow past the size range of the prey distribution of the predator will escape predation. We used a 21-year historical simulation to explore interannual variability in juvenile Chinook salmon growth and predation-mediated survival under a range of ocean conditions for sized-based mortality scenarios. We based a series of increasingly complex predation scenarios on seabird observational data to explore variability in predation mortality on juvenile Chinook salmon. We initially included information about the predator spatial distribution, then added population size, and finally, the predator's diet percentage made up of juvenile salmon. Model agreement improves with added predator complexity, especially during periods when predator abundance is high. Overall, our model found that when the fraction of juvenile salmon in seabird diet increased relative to alternate prey (e.g., Northern anchovy <em>Engraulis</em> <em>mordax</em>, and juvenile rockfish <em>Sebastes</em> spp.), there was a concomitant decrease in salmon cohort survival during their first year at sea.</p>
