Acropora cervicornis outplanting scores in the Florida Reef Tract from 2006-01-01 to 2099-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0209226)

Preview graphic

To maximize long term (>10yr) survival of nursery raised Acropora cervicornis corals, a map based tool was created that ranks locations in the Florida Acropora Critical Habitat based on climate vulnerability.

Climate vulnerability is defined both in terms of exposure to future heat stress and the coral's sensitivity as resilience. Suitable sites are determined by a number of factors, suitable sites must be within the Acropora critical habitat and within the depth range 5-15m, with either hard bottom or coral present. Those possible locations are ranked based on projected climate change impacts and a resilience metric based on seven different indicators: coral cover, macroalgae cover, bleaching resistance, coral diversity, coral disease, herbivore biomass, and temperature variability.

The data is presented as a Google Earth tool (zipped), maps, gridded netCDF files and are accompanied by a guidance document and a .csv file ranking all locations. The Google Earth tool contains five major layers: depth, turbidity, resilience, year of annual severe bleaching, and outplanting score. Bleaching projections included here use climate model data from 2006-2099.

Supplemental Information	Submission Package ID: 76RX2L The Google Earth tool in this package contains five major layers: depth, turbidity, resilience, year of annual severe bleaching, and outplanting score. Possible outplanting locations are ranked based on projected climate change impacts and a resilience metric based on seven different indicators: coral cover, macroalgae cover, bleaching resistance, coral diversity, coral disease, herbivore biomass, and temperature variability. Bleaching projections included here use climate model data from 2006-2099.
Purpose	This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.

Processing Steps	Parameter or Variable: outplanting score Acropora cervicornis (calculated); Units: unitless; Observation Category: model output; Sampling Instrument: combination; Sampling and Analyzing Method: The outplanting score combines the normalized resilience and the year of annual severe bleaching (ASB). Here we add them, with equal weights. To do this the resilience score is scaled to the range of 0-5, and the year of ASB is also scaled to 0-5. Resilience is scaled linearly, the lowest score (0.54) is set to 0, the highest to 5. resilience score = (resilience - 0.54) x 10.87 The year of ASB is scaled linear as well: ASB score=(year-2035)/4.8 Both scores are unidirectional, a score of 0 represents a negative indicator. A score of 5 a positive one..
