Sampling details

50 small seagrass plots (0.25m2, all comprised of one species, Thalassia testudinum) were established at 13 shallow sites in the Western Atlantic. Each plot was assigned to one of ten treatments comprising a factorial manipulation of caging, nutrient supply, and canopy clipping: (1) control (2) partial cage (3) full cage (4) added nutrients (5) added nutrients + partial cage (6) added nutrients + full cage (7) full cage + half canopy clip (8) full cage + full canopy clip (9) full cage + added nutrients + half canopy clip (10) full cage + added nutrients + full canopy clip. Seagrass shoot density was measured at two time periods (once at the end of summer 2018 and again at the end of winter 2019). During each sampling shoot density was measured twice at haphazard (non-overlapping) locations within each plot from replicate 15cm PVC rings. The dataset displays the total sum of shoot counts.

For example, the poleward expansion of herbivore populations can lead to the consumption of habitat-forming vegetation, which alters the ecological services provided by coastal environments (a phenomenon known as tropicalization). Many of the habitats at risk, such as kelp forest and seagrass beds, provide foundational habitat that supports complex food webs. Seagrass meadows along the Gulf of Mexico are currently experiencing an influx of tropical grazers, however a integrated understanding of how these communities might ultimately respond is lacking. This project describes the first experiment to quantify the disruptive effect of tropicalization on the ecology of a widely-distributed seagrass. A major contribution of this project will be the development of a seagrass research collaborative network to serve as a platform for broader scientific inquiry and future collaboration. The collaboration spans a total of 11 institutions, and this network will foster extensive collaborations among junior and senior scientists, as well as many undergraduate and graduate students. Given the geographic scope of this work, the research team will further pursue outreach opportunities across the network by hosting a series of public lectures and science café events promoting topics in marine ecology and conservation. This study will develop a large-scale manipulative experiment across the Caribbean, premised upon a comparative network of 15 marine sites, which will quantify how temperature and light interact with grazer effects on the dominant tropical seagrass, Thalassia testudinum. Sites have been selected along a latitudinal gradient (from Bermuda to Panama), such that light and temperature vary, allowing the investigators to test for the effects of abiotic factors on the ecological effects of increased grazing (tropicalization simulated via artificial leaf clipping). At each of the 15 marine sites, grazing treatments will be crossed with nutrient manipulations in a factorial design for 18 weeks, after which seagrass structure and functioning will be assessed via measurements of areal productivity, shoot density, aboveground biomass, and carbohydrate storage. Experiments will be conducted both in the summer and winter seasons, when abiotic gradients are at their weakest and strongest, respectively. Emerging statistical techniques in hierarchical mixed modeling and structural equation modeling will further allow for integration of experimental and observational data.6:["$","$L19",null,{"dataset":{"_id":"917975","description":"","problem":"No issues related to this dataset have been disclosed by the dataset author.","acquisition":"$1a","processing":"","bcodmoProcessing":"$1b","title":"Thalassia testudinum shoot density measurements from experimental plots in the western Atlantic from summer 2018 and Winter 2019","nickname":"TEN Seagrass Shoot Density","dataUrl":"","currentState":"Published without curation","currentStateId":"4692","validated":false,"restricted":false,"version":"1","version_date":"2024-01-10T05:00:00.000Z","abstract":"This dataset includes seagrass shoot density (Thalassia testudinum) from 650 experimental plots distributed across 13 sites in the Western Atlantic.
