Benthic community cover and counts in Sitka Sound and Torch Bay, Alaska
Abstract:
In an effort to determine how temperature and carbonate chemistry combine to affect primary consumer bioenergetics across a diversity of species and the investigate the indirect effects of ocean acidification and warming on primary consumers, the benthic community was investigated in Sitka Sound and Torch Bay, Alaska. At each site twenty quadrats were placed at random locations along a transect line. Benthic species were either counted or the cover of the species was estimated in each quadrat.
