| Summary: | Linear elongation of Laminaria solidungula individuals from multiple sites was measured to assess annual productivity in the Boulder Patch kelp bed, Stefansson Sound, Alaska. These data were collected as part of a number of studies that included investigations of kelp adaptation to Arctic environments and the impact of environmental variation on kelp productivity. Annual measurements of kelp growth in the Boulder Patch to provide a nearly continuous record of kelp growth from 1976 to 2016. This dataset was complied from digital records and data rescue as part of a larger study to gain an in-depth understanding of mechanisms (past and present) that resulted in the Boulder Patch community we see today and how this community may vary in future conditions. |
