Data

DataZoo

Primary data system for access to core CCE LTER and CalCOFI-augmented datasets, including primary and derived measurements from both Process and Study cruises as well as other timeseries, such as long-term weather and sea level datasets.


Below are links to CCE LTER Signature and LTER Core Area datasets, in DataZoo.

- dataset 		Zooplankton Biomass - Displacement Volume (Spring Annual Averages)


LTER Core Areas

  • Disturbance Patterns (read more)
    - plot
    - datasets     		Disturbances often shape ecosystems by periodically reorganizing them, causing significant changes in plant and animal populations and communities. For this plot, Sustained high values indicate El Niño conditions; sustained low values indicate La Niña conditions
  • Inorganic Nutrients (read more)
    - ex. plot (a)
    - ex. plot (b)
    - datasets     		Nitrogen, phosphorus, trace metals and other mineral nutrients are cycled through the ecosystem by way of decay and disturbances. In excessive quantities nitrogen and other nutrients can have far-reaching and harmful effects on the environment.
  • Organic Matter (read more)

    		- ex. plot (a)
    - ex. plot (b)
    - datasets     		The entire ecosystem relies on the recycling of organic matter (and the nutrients it contains), including dead plants, animals, and other organisms. Decomposition of organic matter and its movement through the ecosystem is an important component of the food web.
  • Population Studies (read more)
    - plot
    - datasets     		A population is a group of organisms of the same species. Variations in abundance of populations of organisms can be important indicators of environmental changes.
  • Primary Production (read more)
    - plot
    - datasets     		Plant growth in most ecosystems forms the base or "primary" component of the food web. The amount and type of plant growth in an ecosystem helps to determine the amount and kind of animals (or "secondary" production) that can survive there.
