&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Central California Coast, Monterey Bay.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Sinking particles were collected at station M2 (36.697˚N, 122.378˚)&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The trap was deployed at 1200 m depth&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Two bamboo coral specimens (Isidella sp.),&amp;amp;nbsp; were collected in Monterey Canyon (36.747˚N, 122.022˚W) in 2007 at depths of 915 m and 835 m&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Methods &amp;amp;amp; Sampling:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Sinking particles were collected at station M2 (36.697˚N, 122.378˚W; Fig. 1 of Shen et al., 2021) using an acid-cleaned cone-shaped Honjo Mark VI sediment trap. The trap was deployed at 1200 m depth (~500 m above the seafloor) from January 1999 through December 2004. The trap was outfitted with 13 collection cups that contained preservatives (3.0 mM of mercury chloride and &amp;amp;gt; 5 g/L of sodium chloride) and rotated every 14 days. There were gaps in the sampling due to technical issues with sediment trap program or trap retrieval. The collection and handling of samples followed the procedures described in&amp;amp;nbsp;Castro et al. (2018). The oven-dried samples were ground in an agate mortar and stored in polyethylene vials or polycarbonate tubes at room temperature in the dark until elemental and isotopic analyses.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;From the two Isidella&amp;amp;nbsp;app&amp;amp;nbsp;specimens, polyp and tissue material was separated from skeletons upon collection, and the samples were washed in seawater and rinsed in freshwater prior to air drying. An organic node (6-8 mm thick) was removed from near the basal attachment of each coral skeleton and decarbonated in 10% HCl. Using scalpel and forceps, organic peels (0.4 -0.5 mm thick) were dissected and then rinsed in Milli-Q water and dried. Based on bomb-&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;14&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C dating, the growth rate of&amp;amp;nbsp;Isidella&amp;amp;nbsp;in Monterey Bay was estimated to be 0.14 mm/yr; thus each peel represents a 3-4-year time window. We present data from only the second and third peels from each coral because they represent the best temporal match to the sediment traps data (1999-2004).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Sediment trap samples were separated into aliquots for bulk δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N analysis. Aliquots for δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C analysis were weighed (~10 mg) into silver boats and acidified by immersion in 6-8% sulfurous acid (H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;SO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) followed by repeated rinses with Milli-Q water and drying at 60˚C overnight. The other aliquots for δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N analysis (~10 mg) were not pre-treated. Coral peels were acidified during the previous preparation (section 2.1) and did not undergo any further pre‑treatment. Approximately 0.15 mg of coral peels was used for bulk δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N. Bulk isotope analysis was performed at the UC Santa Cruz Light Stable Isotope Laboratory using a Carlo Erba 1108 elemental analyzer coupled to Thermo Finnigan Delta Plux XP isotope ratio mass spectrometer following standard procedures (&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://websites.pmc.ucsc.edu/~silab/index.php&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://websites.pmc.ucsc.edu/~silab/index.php&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;). Isotopic values were corrected for sample size and instrumental drift and were reported in units of per mil (‰) relative to Vienna PeeDee Belemnite (VPDB) and air for δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N, respectively. Analytical precision as monitored with acetanilide was &amp;amp;lt;0.2‰ for δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Approximately 10-15 mg of dried sediment trap and coral material was used for amino acid δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N analyses. Hydrolysis, purification, and derivatization followed previously established protocols in batches of 5-7 samples. An AA mixture of known δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N values and an in-house biological reference standard (homogenized cyanobacteria) was analyzed along with each sample batch. The AA mixture was used to calibrate the δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N results. The cyanobacteria reference, processed in the same way as samples, was used to monitor the consistency of wet chemistry and instrumental analysis (Table EA1 of Shen et al., 2021). δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;AA&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;AA&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;values were determined using a Thermo Trace Ultra gas chromatography (GC) coupled with a Finnigan MAT DeltaPlus XL IRMS at UCSC SIL. Samples were injected in triplicate, bracketed by triplicate injections of the calibration standard. Final δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;AA&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;values were corrected for the added&amp;amp;nbsp;derivatizing&amp;amp;nbsp;reagents, and final δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;AA&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;values were corrected based on the offset between known and measured δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;AA&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;values of the calibration standard. The standard deviation of replicate injections for individual AAs in the samples ranged from 0.2‰ to 0.5‰ for δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and from 0.1‰ to 0.6‰ for δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N. The relative abundance (mol%) of amino acids was determined from peak areas measured during&amp;amp;nbsp;d&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N analysis. Peak area response factors for individual AAs were calculated from the known-concentration external standards and then applied to sample peak areas to derive molar abundances.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
One cyanobacteria standard was analyzed during each batch of sample measurement. Data for&amp;amp;nbsp;each batch are reported as average and standard deviation of 3 injections. _AVG and _STD columns&amp;amp;nbsp;refer to&amp;amp;nbsp;the average and standard deviation value of the entire standard set (n = 8 for C; n = 6 for N).&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Carbon stable isotope values are reported in per mil notation relative to V-PDB.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Nitrogen stable isotope values are reported in per mil notation relative to AIR.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

Oceanic biological-ecosystem variability reflects dynamic physical processes in the ocean. This research aims to use newly-developed, state-of-the-art analyses of the chemical composition of deep-sea corals to examine how biogeochemical changes and shifts in plankton populations are related to environmental changes over the past few centuries. The project focuses on the Northeast Pacific Arc, which includes the Gulf of Alaska and the California Current System (CCS). Here instrumental records of sea surface temperature, sea level pressure, and coastal surface temperature reveal a consistent pattern of multi-decadal-scale changes in the North Pacific Basin. Funding supports training of one graduate student, one postdoctoral fellow, and offers research experiences for UCSC undergraduates, community college students, and high school students. The research team has partnered with the UCSC Seymour Marine Discovery Center to establish a new permanent exhibit highlighting deep-sea corals and climate-related ecosystem change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The central goal of this research is to couple high resolution records of past environments derived from deep-sea proteinaceous corals together with new compound-specific amino acid isotope (CSI-AA) measurements to create reconstructions of both biogeochemical change (e.g., source of nitrogen) and basic plankton ecosystem shifts crossing the Northeast Pacific Arc. Using sediment trap and live-collected samples, the research team will develop a more intimate understanding of, and establish explicit links between export production and the CSI-AA baseline values and patterns recorded in proteinaceous deep-sea corals. They will apply this knowledge to provide new insight into the underlying mechanisms of North East Pacific ecosystem change over the last 300-500 years. Overarching questions guiding this research are: 1) Are there structural, secular, long-term changes in NE Pacific Arc food webs beyond the Pacific Decadal Oscillation?, 2) If yes, how are these reflected in the community structure at the base of the food web?, and 3) How has community structure and sources of nitrate at the base of the food-web shifted in response to these changes?&lt;/p&gt;</gco:CharacterString>

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Central California Coast, Monterey Bay.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Sinking particles were collected at station M2 (36.697˚N, 122.378˚)&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The trap was deployed at 1200 m depth&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Two bamboo coral specimens (Isidella sp.),&amp;amp;nbsp; were collected in Monterey Canyon (36.747˚N, 122.022˚W) in 2007 at depths of 915 m and 835 m&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Methods &amp;amp;amp; Sampling:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Sinking particles were collected at station M2 (36.697˚N, 122.378˚W; Fig. 1 of Shen et al., 2021) using an acid-cleaned cone-shaped Honjo Mark VI sediment trap. The trap was deployed at 1200 m depth (~500 m above the seafloor) from January 1999 through December 2004. The trap was outfitted with 13 collection cups that contained preservatives (3.0 mM of mercury chloride and &amp;amp;gt; 5 g/L of sodium chloride) and rotated every 14 days. There were gaps in the sampling due to technical issues with sediment trap program or trap retrieval. The collection and handling of samples followed the procedures described in&amp;amp;nbsp;Castro et al. (2018). The oven-dried samples were ground in an agate mortar and stored in polyethylene vials or polycarbonate tubes at room temperature in the dark until elemental and isotopic analyses.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;From the two Isidella&amp;amp;nbsp;app&amp;amp;nbsp;specimens, polyp and tissue material was separated from skeletons upon collection, and the samples were washed in seawater and rinsed in freshwater prior to air drying. An organic node (6-8 mm thick) was removed from near the basal attachment of each coral skeleton and decarbonated in 10% HCl. Using scalpel and forceps, organic peels (0.4 -0.5 mm thick) were dissected and then rinsed in Milli-Q water and dried. Based on bomb-&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;14&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C dating, the growth rate of&amp;amp;nbsp;Isidella&amp;amp;nbsp;in Monterey Bay was estimated to be 0.14 mm/yr; thus each peel represents a 3-4-year time window. We present data from only the second and third peels from each coral because they represent the best temporal match to the sediment traps data (1999-2004).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Sediment trap samples were separated into aliquots for bulk δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N analysis. Aliquots for δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C analysis were weighed (~10 mg) into silver boats and acidified by immersion in 6-8% sulfurous acid (H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;SO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) followed by repeated rinses with Milli-Q water and drying at 60˚C overnight. The other aliquots for δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N analysis (~10 mg) were not pre-treated. Coral peels were acidified during the previous preparation (section 2.1) and did not undergo any further pre‑treatment. Approximately 0.15 mg of coral peels was used for bulk δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N. Bulk isotope analysis was performed at the UC Santa Cruz Light Stable Isotope Laboratory using a Carlo Erba 1108 elemental analyzer coupled to Thermo Finnigan Delta Plux XP isotope ratio mass spectrometer following standard procedures (&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://websites.pmc.ucsc.edu/~silab/index.php&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://websites.pmc.ucsc.edu/~silab/index.php&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;). Isotopic values were corrected for sample size and instrumental drift and were reported in units of per mil (‰) relative to Vienna PeeDee Belemnite (VPDB) and air for δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N, respectively. Analytical precision as monitored with acetanilide was &amp;amp;lt;0.2‰ for δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Approximately 10-15 mg of dried sediment trap and coral material was used for amino acid δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N analyses. Hydrolysis, purification, and derivatization followed previously established protocols in batches of 5-7 samples. An AA mixture of known δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N values and an in-house biological reference standard (homogenized cyanobacteria) was analyzed along with each sample batch. The AA mixture was used to calibrate the δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N results. The cyanobacteria reference, processed in the same way as samples, was used to monitor the consistency of wet chemistry and instrumental analysis (Table EA1 of Shen et al., 2021). δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;AA&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;and δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;AA&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;values were determined using a Thermo Trace Ultra gas chromatography (GC) coupled with a Finnigan MAT DeltaPlus XL IRMS at UCSC SIL. Samples were injected in triplicate, bracketed by triplicate injections of the calibration standard. Final δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;AA&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;values were corrected for the added&amp;amp;nbsp;derivatizing&amp;amp;nbsp;reagents, and final δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;AA&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;values were corrected based on the offset between known and measured δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;AA&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;values of the calibration standard. The standard deviation of replicate injections for individual AAs in the samples ranged from 0.2‰ to 0.5‰ for δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C and from 0.1‰ to 0.6‰ for δ&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N. The relative abundance (mol%) of amino acids was determined from peak areas measured during&amp;amp;nbsp;d&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;15&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;N analysis. Peak area response factors for individual AAs were calculated from the known-concentration external standards and then applied to sample peak areas to derive molar abundances.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
One cyanobacteria standard was analyzed during each batch of sample measurement. Data for&amp;amp;nbsp;each batch are reported as average and standard deviation of 3 injections. _AVG and _STD columns&amp;amp;nbsp;refer to&amp;amp;nbsp;the average and standard deviation value of the entire standard set (n = 8 for C; n = 6 for N).&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Carbon stable isotope values are reported in per mil notation relative to V-PDB.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Nitrogen stable isotope values are reported in per mil notation relative to AIR.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

* Mean and standard deviation values (e.g.&amp;quot;-19.3±0.1&amp;quot;)&amp;amp;nbsp;were separated into separate average and standard deviation columns.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
* Date formats changed to ISO 8601 date format&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
* Added columns for initial and final collection year.&amp;amp;nbsp; Years then removed from date columns.&amp;amp;nbsp; That way each column had a consistent data format, either yyyy-mm-dd or year yyyy.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
* Column names updated to comply with BCO-DMO naming conventions. Only A-Za-z0-9_ and can't start with a number.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>
