Kelp detritus: quantifying carbon contributions and size distribution
Poster Number: 197 Presenter/Primary Author: Christie Yorke To determine the potential of particulate kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) detritus to serve as a trophic resource for coastal suspension feeders, we quantified the rate of production and size
δ13C and δ15N of particulate organic matter in the Santa Barbara Channel: drivers and implications for trophic inference
Poster Number: 183 Presenter/Primary Author: Robert Miller We investigated the extent to which temporal variation in the stable isotope composition of suspended particulate organic matter (POM) was explained by phytoplankton biomass and production at a sou
Ocean Acidification: Assessment Of pH in the Channel Islands National Park and its Effect on Sea Urchin Fertilization
Poster Number: 181 Presenter/Primary Author: Lydia Kapsenberg Ocean acidification, the decline of seawater pH as a direct result of anthropogenic CO2 dissolving into surface oceans, is expected to affect the marine ecosystem of the Channel Islands
The effects of wildfire on stream ecosystems in Southern California
Poster Number: 169 Presenter/Primary Author: Scott Cooper Wildfire is a frequent and pervasive feature of most ecosystems in Mediterranean climates.
Sources of phytoplankton to the inner continental shelf in the Santa Barbara Channel inferred from cross-shelf gradients in biological, physical and chemical parameters
Poster Number: 105 Presenter/Primary Author: Mark Brzezinski Phytoplankton are a major food resource for filter feeding organisms occupying intertidal and subtidal habitats of the inner continental shelf. In the Santa Barbara Channel (SBC) the continen
