Temperature from seagrass wasting disease mesocosm experiments at Bodega Marine Laboratory in June-July 2015

Abstract:

This dataset includes seawater temperature measurements from mesocosms. Data were collected as part of a mesocosm study at the Bodega Marine Laboratory examining the independent and interactive effects of warming, host genotypic identity, and host genotypic diversity on the prevalence and intensity of infections of seagrass by the wasting disease parasite Labyrinthula zosterae. These data were plotted in Schenck et al (2022) as Figure S1. And Bois et al., 2021 as Figure 1.

Methods & Sampling

We used a substitutive design to test the effects of eelgrass (Zostera marina) genotypic identity (eight genotypes), diversity (monocultures of 1 genotype vs. polycultures of 4 genotypes), and temperature (ambient or + 3.2° C) on the prevalence and intensity of Labyrinthula over eight weeks in an array of flow-through 120-L mesocosms at the Bodega Marine Laboratory in Bodega Bay, CA. We assigned ten pots - two unique polyculture combinations and each of the eight monocultures - to each of ten mesocosms, with five mesocosms per temperature treatment (see DuBois et al. 2020 for a diagram of the experimental set up). All mesocosms received sand-filtered flow-through seawater at a rate of approximately 0.8-1.0 L min^-1. We allowed the plants to acclimate for one month prior to initiating the temperature treatments. We maintained an ambient temperature treatment by cooling flow-through seawater in a head tank by approximately 1˚C using an Aqua Logic Delta Star in-line titanium chiller. Seawater in the elevated temperature treatment was raised approximately 3˚C above the ambient treatment in a separate header tank using Process Technologies titanium immersion heaters. This level of warming mimicked the 2014-15 extreme warming events in the Northern Pacific called “The Blob”, which raised summer ocean temperatures three standard deviations above the long-term average (Sanford et al. 2019).
