Sampling was conducted at six salt marsh sites at four spatial scales: 1 metre (m) (the minimal sampling unit) nested within a hierarchy of increasing scales of 1-10 m, 10-100 m and 100-1000 m. Three of the sites were in Morecambe Bay, North West England and three of the sites were in Essex, South East England. NPP measurements were based on vegetation re-growth after cutting in winter 2013 and harvesting in summer 2013. This data was collected as part of Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (CBESS). The project was funded with support from the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (BESS) programme. BESS is a six-year programme (2011-2017) funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) as part of the UK's Living with Environmental Change (LWEC) programme." ; dcterms:provenance [ a dcterms:ProvenanceStatement ; rdfs:label "Net primary productivity (NPP) was measured as an above ground vegetation sample (cut at ground level) of 50 centimetre (cm) x 25 cm inside grazer exclusion cages during the summer 2013 sampling period (after all above ground vegetation removed from 50 cm x 25 cm area in winter 2013). NPP was calculated from each quadrat by scaling up the mass of the dry vegetation to kg per square metre per year. Vegetation cut in field then dried at 60 degrees Celsius for 72 hours. Results were recorded onto field sheets. These data were transferred into an Excel file and calculations carried out. Results were exported as comma separated value files for ingestion into the EIDC. The location of the sample sites was determined by randomly allocated quadrats. Each site consisted of a rectangular area of saltmarsh between 400 x 500 metre (m) to 1000 x 1000 m in size, dependent upon saltmarsh length (parallel to shore) and width (perpendicular to shore), including part of the low, mid and high marsh zones. Twenty two 1 x 1 m quadrats were randomly allocated to each site rectangle using R (R Development Core Team, 2014) to specify four different spatial scales (A = 1 quadrat only, B = 3 quadrats at 1 m to 10 m apart, C = 6 quadrats at 10 m to 100 m apart, D = 12 quadrats at 100 m to 1000 m or site maximum)." ] ; dcterms:spatial [ a dcterms:Location ; dcat:bbox "POLYGON((-3 51.687, -3 54.25, 1.005 54.25, 1.005 51.687, -3 51.687))"^^geo:wktLiteral ; ] ; dcterms:temporal [ a dcterms:PeriodOfTime ; dcat:startDate "2013-01-01"^^xsd:date ; dcat:endDate "2013-08-31"^^xsd:date ; ] ; dcat:contactPoint :2cbe3a8c-1a54-490d-a32d-078564c117b7_c0 ; dcterms:publisher ; dcterms:isPartOf ; dcterms:subject , , "CBESS (Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability)", "BESS (Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability)", "Net Primary Production", "NPP", , , ; prov:wasGeneratedBy ; a dcat:Dataset; dcterms:type dcmitype:Dataset ; dcterms:available "2016-05-03"^^xsd:date ; dcat:landingPage , ; dcterms:license ; dcterms:rights [ a dcterms:RightsStatement ; odrs:copyrightNotice "copyright Bangor University"; ] ; dcterms:accessRights ; dcat:distribution [ dcat:accessURL ; dcterms:license ; dcterms:rights [ a dcterms:RightsStatement ; odrs:copyrightNotice "copyright Bangor University"; ] ; dcterms:accessRights ; dcterms:format [ a dcterms:IMT ; rdf:value "Comma-separated values (CSV)" ; rdfs:label "Comma-separated values (CSV)" ] ; ]; dcterms:creator , , ; dcterms:language . :2cbe3a8c-1a54-490d-a32d-078564c117b7_c0 a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Ford, H." ; foaf:familyName "Ford" ; foaf:givenName "Hilary" ; vcard:hasEmail "hilary.ford@bangor.ac.uk" ; foaf:member ; . a foaf:Organization ; foaf:name "NERC Environmental Information Data Centre" ; vcard:hasEmail "info@eidc.ac.uk" ; foaf:member ; . a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Ford, H." ; foaf:familyName "Ford" ; foaf:givenName "H." ; vcard:hasEmail "hilary.ford@bangor.ac.uk" ; foaf:member ; . a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Garbutt, A." ; foaf:familyName "Garbutt" ; foaf:givenName "A." ; vcard:hasEmail "enquiries@ceh.ac.uk" ; foaf:member ; . a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Skov, M." ; foaf:familyName "Skov" ; foaf:givenName "M." ; vcard:hasEmail "mwskov@bangor.ac.uk" ; foaf:member ; . a skos:Concept; skos:prefLabel "Morecambe Bay"; rdfs:label "Morecambe Bay" . a skos:Concept; skos:prefLabel "Essex"; rdfs:label "Essex" . a skos:Concept; skos:prefLabel "salt marsh"; rdfs:label "salt marsh" . a skos:Concept; skos:prefLabel "grassland"; rdfs:label "grassland" . a skos:Concept; skos:prefLabel "vegetation"; rdfs:label "vegetation" . a foaf:Organization ; foaf:name "Bangor University" . a foaf:Organization ; foaf:name "Centre for Ecology & Hydrology" . a prov:Activity ; rdfs:label "A hierarchical approach to the examination of the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem service flows across coastal margins." .
