©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.This dataset includes biomass and diversity measurements of eelgrass communities from 16 sites across the Northern Hemisphere: Japan (2), USA (8), Canada (2), Norway (1), Sweden (1), Finland (1), Portugal (1). The purpose was to study the plant and animal responses to top-down and bottom-up manipulations in eelgrass (Zostera marina) habitat.
Methodology is available from: J. Emmett Duffy, et al. Biodiversity mediates top-down control in eelgrass ecosystems: A global comparative-experimental approach. Ecology Letters 18:7 (696–705). DOI: 10.1111/ele.12448.
