dc.description.abstract | Rocky shores are among the most studied marine habitats, and their communities are often used as models to describe biodiversity dynamics worldwide. There is a need to understand and monitor environmental changes at global scales and the impact of climate change and other global stressors to marine biodiversity, this protocol provides a standardized methodology and sampling design for marine diversity at rocky shores in the intertidal zone. This protocol was produced by a group of experts (SARCE, 2012) and is updated by the Marine Biodiversity Observation Network Pole to Pole of the Americas (MBON Pole to Pole) in 2019 in order to create a standard method for intertidal biodiversity assessment valid across the American continent. Ecological variables measured by this protocol: Abundance; Cover; Presence/Absence - MATERIALS; One 30m metric transect tape.; One Hand-held GPS unit; Two 0.5m x 0.5m (0.25m2) PVC quadrat, one gridded –see construction instructions below and one not gridded.; One Waterproof camera.; One Clinometer or Telephone with clinometer app.; 10m stainless steelchain (1cm link) or any other length can be used,as long as 10 m are measured.; Field spreadsheet.; Paper/pencil.; ManualCell Counter (Optional –for easy count of small abundant organisms). | en_US |
