Metadata: 2014 Heiser, S. et al Plymouth Sound Undaria pinnatifida Records
Abstract:
This dataset contains records from Heiser et al (2014) Assessing the extent of establishment of Undaria pinnatifida in Plymouth Sound Special Area of Conservation, UK Marine Biodiversity Records, page 1 of 8 doi:10.1017/S1755267214000608; Vol. 7; e93. The first UK record of Undaria pinnatifida was in the Hamble estuary (1994) and it was found off Plymouth in 2003. The authors assessed the distribution of U. pinnatifida and native kelps and their allies in Plymouth Sound (at 0 to +1 m relative to Chart Datum). Undaria pinnatifida was widespread along rocky shores, on other hard substrata and grew in the same areas as Saccharina latissima and Saccorhiza polyschides. Undaria pinnatifida was significantly more abundant on vertical substrata than on upward-facing hard substrata. It was almost as common as all of the other kelp species combined on vertical substrata but was outnumbered by native species on upward-facing substrata. Undaria pinnatifida has become the visually dominant macroalga in marinas and has spread to surrounding natural habitats in Plymouth Sound. The extent to which it will out-compete native kelps requires monitoring, especially in conservation areas.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 10778 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2014 Heiser, S. et al Plymouth Sound Undaria pinnatifida Records |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | f6dd7eff4988d3e163b9293cf3758683 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | DASSHDT00000145 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2011-08-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2011-09-30 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This dataset has been digitised as part of the MSFD NNS baseline data collation project (Jan 2016). This is a subset of the dataset as we were only pulling out records for a selection of INNS. Contains records for Undaria pinnatifida. Additional information on temperature, salinity, pH, substratum type, exposure, tidal stream, geology, and impacts for each record can be found in the original report. If any sensitive species or biotope records are present within this dataset, they will have been removed. If you wish to request access to sensitive species records, please contact the metadata contact. The UK Sensitive Species list has been agreed by UK statutory bodies and relevant experts. It can be viewed here https://docs.nbnatlas.org/sensitive-species-list/. Please note sensitive species lists can vary across the UK. |
