Description

These data are published in Hirsh et al., see related publications section.

Methods & Sampling

Central CA Macrocystis pyrifera forest, 36° 37.297’ N, 121° 54.102’ W. New fronds were recorded on each kelp sporophyte within a 3.2 m radius of the kelp mooring (10 sporophytes). At the start of the study period (July 2, 2018), all fronds greater than 0.5 m length were tagged on each sporophyte.

New fronds (> 0.5 m) were counted and tagged on each sporophyte weekly through August 6, 2018.
