Harv_2015_macro_plot

Data for harvest plots prior (Interval 1), 24 hours (Interval 2) and 3 weeks (Interval 3) post harvest. Data include M. pyrifera frond density, plant density, and biomass density. Also shown are the harvest rates for each plot (% canopy removal)

Harvest_2015_understory

Understory kelp density and biomass in harvest plots

Harvest_2014

Data associated with the 2014 harvest experiment, where Macrocystis canopies were harvested at 5 sites along the coast of British Columbia. Data shown are metrics of kelp recovery (growth, biomass recovered, surface frond production, and surface frond loss) for kelps at each site. Also shown are the percentage of reproductive sporophylls at each site. Data set also includes predictor variables (wave exposure, average temperature, max temperature, standard deviation of temperature, frond and plant density at the site, and metrics of individual kelp size [surface length before harvest, the number of fronds at the surface before harvest, and the biomass removed)

Harvest_2015_fish

Fish abundance data in kelp harvest plots prior to harvest, 24 hours, and 3 weeks post harvest

Harv_2015_macro_rate

Growth, frond loss, and change in biomass for M. pyrifera from prior to harvest to three weeks post harvest for each harvest plot. Also shown are harvest rates (% canopy removal)
