This dataset includes metrics of eelgrass traits related to bed structure, morphology, and physiology from field sites along the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. Field sites were located across a gradient of temperature and light conditions. Sampling was conducted in July to August, in 2017, 2021, and 2022. Seagrass density and plants were sampled at 10 haphazardly distributed sampling stations within each seagrass bed at approximately the same depth. Stations were ~10m apart and at least 2m from any seagrass-bare interface. Quadrats were used to determine vegetative and reproductive shoot density. Three plants from each sampling station were collected and processed in the laboratory for length and width leaf 3, number leaves per shoot, rhizome width, rhizome water soluble carbohydrates, and total leaf chlorophyll. Also included in this data temperature and light metric that summarize temperature and light conditions during the summer period.Cite this data as: Wong, M.C., Dowd, M.

This dataset includes metrics of seagrass productivity and resilience collected from field sites along the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. Field sites were located across a gradient of temperature and light conditions. Sampling was conducted monthly from May 2018 to July 2019. Seagrass density and plants were sampled at 10 haphazardly distributed sampling stations within each seagrass bed at approximately the same depth. Stations were ~10m apart and at least 2m from any seagrass-bare interface. Quadrats were used to determine vegetative and reproductive shoot density, and hand corers to collect seagrass above and belowground biomass. Three plants from each sampling station were also collected and processed in the laboratory for length and width leaf 3, number leaves per shoot, rhizome width, and rhizome water soluble carbohydrates. Also included in this data set are time-series records of bottom temperature at each site measured in 15-mins intervals using HOBO TidbiTv2 loggers.Cite this data as: Wong, Melisa C., and Michael Dowd. 2023. “The Role of Short-Term Temperature Variability and Light in Shaping the Phenology and Characteristics of Seagrass Beds.” Ecosphere 14(11): e4698. https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.4698

* This dataset is updated on a daily basis. The ‘Record Modified’ date refers to the last metadata update.This dataset contains the extent of prospecting permits in Nunavut. A prospecting permit allows prospecting in a large area without competition for a period of three or five years, and gives the holder the exclusive rights to select a mineral claim within that area.For more information, visit https://www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/1100100036000/1547749889500.Note: This is one of the four (4) datasets that describe mineral tenure in Nunavut. It includes mineral claims, mining leases, prospecting permits as well as coal exploration licences.

Geospatial forest inventory dataset updated for depletions, such as harvesting, and projected annually for growth. Sample attributes in this dataset include: age, species, volume, height. The Vegetation Resources Inventory (VRI) spatial datasets describe both where a vegetation resource (ie timber volume, tree species) is located and how much of a given resource is within an inventory unit.
