Sensitivity of the Puget Sound ecosystem to ocean acidification using mineralogy and taxonomy as indicators (NCEI Accession 0169109)

browse graphicPreview graphic
This dataset contains a number of files related to a project that characterizes the sensitivity of the Puget Sound ecosystem to ocean acidification by estimating, at a number of taxonomic levels, the direct sensitivity of its species. It includes a database of marine species in Puget Sound (.csv) with estimates of species mineralogy in the adult and early life stages, and a list (.docx) of references called to in the database. It also includes a list (.csv) of species in the Puget Sound that are also included in a second database that collects the results of studies on the sensitivity of temperate marine species to ocean acidification (Busch and McElhany 2016, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0160669). This latter database (.csv) is presented in an abbreviated format here including only species taxonomy, reference for the manuscript presenting data on the species, scores estimating the relevance of these studies to understanding the sensitivity of Puget Sound species to ocean acidification, and the direction of the species’ response to low pH conditions. Information on pH sensitivity from this database is rolled into scalars summarized at the family, order, and class levels (.csv) and these scalars are assigned to the species included in the Puget Sound species database.

Purpose We explore two general hypotheses about species response to ocean acidification discussed in the literature: 1) calcifiers will be more sensitive to high CO2 conditions than non-calcifiers and 2) the sensitivity of calcifying species to high CO2 conditions will depend on their mineralogy.
