The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Dominant microbe taxa from Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, 2009-2012 (HERBVRE project) (NCEI Accession 0277263) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains biological, physical, and survey - biological data collected at Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary during deployment Burkepile_FL_Keys on 2017-01-10. These data include abundance, taxon, and water temperature. These data were collected by Deron Burkepile and Rebecca Vega Thurber of Florida International University as part of the "Cascading interactions of herbivore loss and nutrient enrichment on coral reef macroalgae, corals, and microbial dynamics (HERBVRE)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Dominant microbe taxa Dataset Description: This dataset contains microbial orders that rose to dominate at least one sample. Values quantify the number of samples in which each order was the most abundant, as well as average metadata values for the samples in which that order became most abundant. Metadata values calculated are temperature, overall community evenness, the cover of all upright algae, tall turf algae, or cyanobacteria, and the average abundance of the dominant taxon. Natural history of the study site: This experiment was conducted in the area of Pickles Reef (24.99430, -80.40650), located east of Key Largo, Florida in the United States. The Florida Keys reef tract consists of a large bank reef system located approximately 8 km offshore of the Florida Keys, USA, and paralleling the island chain. Our study reef is a 5-6 m deep spur and groove reef system within this reef tract. The reefs of the Florida Keys have robust herbivorous fish populations and are relatively oligotrophic. Coral cover on most reefs in the Florida Keys, including our site, is 5-10%, while macroalgal cover averages ~15%, but ranges from 0-70% depending on location and season. Parrotfishes ( Scaridae ) and surgeonfishes ( Acanthuridae ) are the dominant herbivores on these reefs as fishing for them was banned in 1981. The other important herbivore on Caribbean reefs, the urchin Diadema antillarum , remains at low densities across the Florida Keys following the mass mortality event in 1982-3.
