Modeled Historical Kelp Data. A Canadian Healthy Oceans Network Ecosystem Function Project, EF-11

Abstract

Modeled mean and max yearly values of kelp biomass, production, blade erosion, dislodgement, mortality, and total detrital production based on recorded temperature (meanT, maxT) from 1976-2009. Also modeled were mean and max proportion of blade area grazed by Lacuna vincta (meanL, maxL), and blade coverage by Membranipora membranacea (meanM, maxM
