SOMLIT-SOARC time series (French Research Infrastructure ILICO): long-term core parameter monitoring in the Arcachon Bay Ecosystem
The Arcachon bay is a meso- / macro-tidal (0.8 to 4.6 m), semi-enclosed lagoon of 180 km² located on the South-western coast of France. Three main water masses are described in this bay: (i) the external neritic waters (ENW) directly influenced by the adjacent oceanic waters, (ii) the intermediate neritic waters (ItNW) and (iii) the inner neritic waters (InNW) more influenced by the continental inputs. The watershed of the Arcachon bay, mainly covered by forests, has an area of 3500 km² and the bay is considered as poorly anthropised. It hosts the largest Zostera noltei seagrass meadow in western Europe and is an important site for oyster farming and Manilla clam production.
Since 1997, Arcachon Bay waters are monitored for hydrological and bio-geochemical parameters by the “Environnements et Paléoenvironnements Océaniques et Continentaux” (EPOC) Research Unit of the University of Bordeaux-CNRS, first in one single station (Eyrac), then on 2 complementary sites since 2005 (Bouee13 and Comprian). The monitoring is carried out within the national framework of the “SOMLIT” (“Service d’Observation en Milieu Littoral”) which is a French multi-site monitoring network initiated in the mid-1990s. SOMLIT is based on a joint strategy for 19 sites belonging to 12 ecosystems that are distributed over the three maritime facades of mainland France, i.e. the English Channel, the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Sampling of surface water samples is performed fortnightly at high tide for a group of 15 parameters (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, phosphate, silicate, suspended matter, chlorophyll a, concentrations and isotopic ratios of particulate organic carbon and nitrogen) and 8 flow cytometry biological variables of pico- and nanoplankton. Vertical profiles of multiparametric probes concerning 4 parameters (temperature, salinity, fluorescence, PAR) are also performed.
Given the significant diversity of coastal ecosystems where SOMLIT’s stations are located, strict and joint guidelines with regards to sampling strategy, measurement methods and data qualification and storage are paramount in order to make FAIR data available to users. The whole data acquisition strategy is carried out within the framework of the SOMLIT quality system formalized in 2006-2007 by referring to the ISO 17025: 2017 standard “General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories”. Unified sampling and analysis protocols are based on recognized disciplinary standards and on the expertise of the research teams.
The scientific objectives of SOMLIT are 1) to characterize the multi-decadal evolution of coastal ecosystems; 2) to determine the climatic and anthropogenic forcings and 3) to make data and logistical support available for research activities and other observation activities. SOMLIT is therefore a research tool providing large datasets that also serve as logistical support for related research actions (from seasonal to long-term studies).
Two additional national networks operate at the same SOMLIT sites: “COAST-HF” network performs high-frequency measurements (automated in situ measurements every 10 to 20 minutes) and “PHYTOBS-network” provides microphytoplankton biodiversity data. SOMLIT, COAST-HF and PHYTOBS are elementary networks of the Research Infrastructure “Infrastructure Littorale et Côtière” (ILICO) and are National Observation Services (SNO) of the Institut National des Sciences de l'Univers (INSU).
