One water sample was taken per reef. The samples were analyzed for phosphate (µmol/L) and nitrate + nitrite (µmol/L). Water samples were analyzed by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa SOEST Laboratory for Analytical Biogeochemistry. They were analyzed for: Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorous, Phosphate, Silicate, Nitrate + Nirite, Ammonia, and Chlorophyll using a Seal Analytical AA3 HR Nutrient Autoanalyzer.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Sample collection: Water samples were collected in sterile 60ml plastic bottles, each rinsed three times from the sample area before a sample was taken.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Seal Analytical AA3 HR Nutrient Autoanalyzer:&lt;br /&gt; This instrument is a fully automated/computerized analyzing system for nutrients in environmental waters. It is a five-channel segmented-flow continuous analyzer consisting of a sampler, a pump, five-reagent mixing and reaction manifolds and five photometers. S-LAB utilizes the AA3 to simultaneously measure dissolved inorganic nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, phosphate, and silicate at low μM levels. Detection limits offered by this state-of-the-art instrument fulfill the detection needs of researchers wishing to analyze oligotrophic (low nutrient concentration) seawater, while also providing the capability of analyzing fresh and brackish waters, including soil water, sediment pore water, and groundwater.

The sample is reacted with o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) at 75°C in the presence of borate buffer and sodium sulfite to form a fluorescent species in a quantity that is proportional to the ammonium concentration. Fluorescence is measured at 460 nm following excitation at 370 nm.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Nitrate and Nitrite&lt;br /&gt; Nitrate and Nitrite are analyzed via the diazo reaction based on the methods of Armstrong et al (1967) and Grasshoff (1983). This automated procedure involves reduction of nitrate to nitrite by a copper-cadmium reductor column. The nitrite then reacts with sulfanilamide under acidic conditions to form a diazo compound, which then couples with N-1-naphthylethylene diamine dihydrochloride to form a purple azo dye. The concentration is determined colorimetrically at 550 nm.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Silicate&lt;br /&gt; Silicate measurement is based on the reduction of silicomolybdate in acidic solution to molybdenum blue by ascorbic acid (Grashoff and Kremling 1983). Oxalic acid is introduced to the sample stream before the addition of ascorbic acid to minimize interference from phosphates. The concentration is determined colorimetrically at 820 nm.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Phosphate&lt;br /&gt; This automated procedure for the determination of orthophosphate is based on the colorimetric method of Murphy and Riley (1962) in which a blue color is formed by the reaction of orthophosphate, molybdate ion and antimony ion followed by reduction with ascorbic acid at a pH of 1. The reduced blue phospho-molybdenum complex is determined colorimetrically at 880 nm.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Total Phosphorus&lt;br /&gt; Following the method developed by the University of Hamburg in co-operation with the Ocean University of Qingdao, this automated procedure for the determination of dissolved phosphorus in seawater takes place in three stages. First, the sample is irradiated in a UV digestor. In this digestion step organically bound phosphorus is released. Second, acid persulfate is added, which further promotes breakdown of orgniac matter that persists after UV digestion, and polyphosphates are converted to ortho-phosphate by acid hydrolysis at 90°C. Third, the ortho-phosphate is determined by reaction with molybdate, antimony and ascorbic acid, producing a phospho-molybdenum blue complex which is determined colorimetricallyat 880 nm.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Total Nitrogen&lt;br /&gt; Following the procedure developed by the University of Hamburg, inorganic and organic nitrogen compounds are oxidized to nitrate by persulfate under alkaline conditions in an on-line UV digestor. The nitrate is reduced to nitrite in a cadmium column and then determined using the sulfanilamide/NEDD reaction with colorimetric detection at 520 nm.&lt;/p&gt; Funding provided by NSF Division of Ocean Sciences (NSF OCE) Award Number: OCE-1941737 Award URL: https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/show-award?AWD_ID=1941737 completed Anne Innes-Gold University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa ainnesgo@hawaii.edu pointOfContact asNeeded Dataset Version: 1 Unknown Month Year Date Reef_Number Total_N Total_P Phosphate Silicate NO3_plus_NO2 Ammonia Chlorophyll Latitude Longitude Seal Analytical AA3 HR Nutrient Autoanalyzer theme None, User defined month_local year date_local site description Nitrogen Phosphorus phosphate Silicate, Si(OH)4, silicic acid nitrate plus nitrite Ammonium chlorophyll a latitude longitude featureType BCO-DMO Standard Parameters Seal Analytical AutoAnalyser 3HR instrument BCO-DMO Standard Instruments otherRestrictions otherRestrictions Access Constraints: none.

CAREER: Decoding seascape-scale vegetation patterns on coral reefs to understand ecosystem health: Integrating research and education from organismal to planetary scales http://oceansphere.org CAREER: Decoding seascape-scale vegetation patterns on coral reefs to understand ecosystem health: Integrating research and education from organismal to planetary scales <p><em>NSF Award Abstract:</em><br /> Coral reefs worldwide are under increasing threat from a range of human-induced stressors. Climate change is understood to be a key global stressor threatening reefs, but the only proven levers for ecosystem managers to increase reef resilience is to mitigate local and regional stressors such as fishing pressure. A vexing question persists, however, which is how to measure the effects of fishing on ecosystems, particularly over the large spatial (e.g., &gt;10s of meters) and temporal (multi-year) scales over which fishing occurs. One promising approach to doing so is using the large-scale vegetation patterns found on coral reefs globally, called “halos”, to remotely observe when, where, and to what extent fishing pressure is affecting community structure and function. This program combines lab- and field-based experiments with cutting-edge satellite imaging technology and computer science approaches to provide a leap forward in our understanding of how species-level interactions can scale up in space and time to shape coral reef seascapes around the world. By drawing on these approaches, the synergistic education program: 1) integrates science and art (i.e., murals and satellite imagery) to educate and inspire Hawai‘i’s students and general public about coral reef ecology; 2) builds technological capacity in Hawai‘i’s underrepresented minority high school to graduate students, and 3) empowers these students with science communication skills to communicate with diverse audiences. By leveraging this research program and the cutting-edge technologies it will involve, the investigator establishes a strong foundation for long-term teaching and mentoring activities focused on increasing capacity within STEM-underrepresented minorities with Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander backgrounds. Decoding what coral reef halos can tell us about the effects of fishing on reef ecosystem health provides valuable knowledge to reef ecosystem managers and conservation practitioners as reefs continue to rapidly change due to human stressors.</p> <p>This project combines lab- and field-based experiments with cutting-edge satellite imaging technology and computer science approaches to address the goals of: 1) determining the mechanisms that create the “halos” that form around coral patch reefs, and 2) testing the predictions arising from these mechanisms in a global arena. This project uses a transdisciplinary approach – spanning ecology, oceanography, geospatial science, and computer science – to address these goals. This program has three scientific objectives: to determine 1) which species interaction mechanisms and environmental factors cause reef halos and what their relative importance is; 2) whether these mechanisms are globally consistent or vary geographically; and 3) whether halos can therefore be used as an indicator of aspects of coral reef ecosystem health. In the process, this research advances our understanding of how remote observation tools (satellite and drone imagery; camera traps) can be integrated with computer science (machine learning) and ecological approaches (mechanistic experiments) to generate emergent insights that would not otherwise be possible.</p> <p>This project is jointly funded by the Biological Oceanography Program, the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), and Ocean Education Programs.</p> <p>This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.</p> Coral Reef Halos largerWorkCitation project eng; USA oceans -157.806783 -157.806783 21.464012 21.464275 2022-08-24 2023-12-04 Hawai’i (field components) and global (synthetic components) 0 BCO-DMO catalogue of parameters from Water nutrients measured at artificial reefs in Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu in 2022 and 2023 as part of a reef halo dynamics study Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) Unavailable 508-289-2009 WHOI MS#36 Woods Hole MA 02543 USA info@bco-dmo.org http://www.bco-dmo.org Monday - Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm For questions regarding this resource, please contact BCO-DMO via the email address provided. pointOfContact http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/989011.rdf Name: Month Units: unitless Description: <p>Month of observation</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/989012.rdf Name: Year Units: unitless Description: <p>Year of observation</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/989013.rdf Name: Date Units: unitless Description: <p>Date of observation (ISO 8601 format)</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/989014.rdf Name: Reef_Number Units: unitless Description: <p>The artificial reef number, 1-3 (R#)</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/989015.rdf Name: Total_N Units: micromoles per liter (umol/L) Description: <p>total nitrogen.
