Morphometrics of giant kelp forests in Southeast Alaska during Summer 2018
The purpose of this dataset was to collect length and weight measurements of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) for use in determination of surface canopy biomass. This is based on previous work demonstrating that giant kelp biomass can be predicted by length-to-weight relationships (Reed et al. 2009...
