Project Data
Establishing the Lyudao LTSER Core Observation Platform This project aims to enhance long-term socio-ecological research capacity on Lyudao (Green Island), Taiwan’s first offshore Long-Term Socio-Ecological Research (LTSER) station supported by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC). Compared with stations on Taiwan’s main island, Lyudao requires significantly greater logistical effort for field surveys, stakeholder engagement, and issue assessment. To improve coordination and support on-the-ground operations, the project collaborates with the Marine Science Center of the Biodiversity Research Center, Academia Sinica, to establish the “Lyudao LTSER Core Observation Platform Office” at the Lyudao Marine Research Station. The office conducts routine tasks including: 1.Operation and maintenance of marine and terrestrial environmental monitoring instruments 2.Assistance with data collection, management, and open data dissemination 3.Engagement and communication with local stakeholders 4.Organization of workshops and outreach activities 5.Logistical and research support for field teams The project also compiles socio-ecological research related to Lyudao—including humanistic studies, socio-economic analyses, governance structures, and ecological research—and maps local stakeholder networks across private and public sectors. Workshops will be organized to identify emerging socio-economic conflicts, governance transition issues, and opportunities for collaboration. A communication platform (website and social media) will be established to enhance stakeholder interaction. The project further collects, manages, shares, and visualizes long-term social, environmental, and ecological observations following FAIR data principles. Data will be integrated into a platform for long-term storage, analysis, and open access to support scientific research, policy development, and local governance.

| Study Area Description | Lyudao (Green Island) is the fourth-largest offshore island of Taiwan, located along the Kuroshio Current. The island hosts well-developed coral reefs that support rich biodiversity and provide essential ecosystem services. Historically a fishery-based society, Lyudao has transformed into a tourism-driven socio-ecological system, receiving nearly 400,000 visitors annually—approximately 100 times its registered population. The coral reef ecosystem is highly sensitive to disturbances such as climate change and intensive human activities. Understanding whether Lyudao can remain sustainable as a small Pacific island requires long-term monitoring of both ecological and social systems. Continuous observation of environmental conditions, marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and socio-economic dynamics is crucial for assessing ecosystem health, identifying vulnerabilities, and informing conservation and governance strategies. |
| Design Description | The Lyudao LTSER Station serves as Taiwan’s model platform for island sustainability science. Small islands such as Lyudao possess limited environmental and socio-economic buffers, making them more vulnerable to climate change, global disturbances, and extreme events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The station promotes the conservation of Lyudao’s coral reef ecosystem by highlighting its role as the foundation of the island’s socio-economic structure. Recognizing the interdependence between ecological integrity and human well-being, the project implements long-term, systematic observations across three domains: 1.Socio-ecological observations: socio-economic surveys, land/marine resource-use assessments, and development of indicators for sustainability. 2.Environmental observations: climate and hydrological monitoring, including microclimate towers and water-quality sensors, complemented by data from governmental agencies. 3.Ecological observations: monitoring terrestrial vegetation, passive acoustics, coral reef fish assemblages, coral diversity, recruitment, bleaching events, and marine ecosystem conditions. These integrated observations support future research on governance transitions related to food systems, energy, transportation, and ecological resilience. Through systematic data collection, methodological transparency, and FAIR-compliant data sharing, the Lyudao LTSER Station contributes to national development, conservation planning, and global sustainability science. |

Sampling Methods
Since environmental conditions may vary across sampling stations and survey events, certain survey items may not be executable due to site-specific constraints or prevailing environmental characteristics. However, the principles for the survey methods at each station are outlined below. A set of traps (consisting of one the long-foldable ring cage and two shrimp traps) was deployed overnight and retrieved the following day to record captured fish, decapods, and gastropods. In addition, field surveys were conducted using hand nets to record captured small fish, decapods, mollusks, and aquatic insects. During certain survey periods, the cage or traps could not be deployed due to insufficient water depth. And at the DMD station, hand net surveys could not be executed because of the excessively high cross-section, resulting in a lack of aquatic insect data.
| Study Extent | 【Study area and station】 The study covers two perennial streams on Lyudao (Green Island), Taiwan: the Liuma Stream (Chouqin Reservoir) and the stream of the Youzihu Waterfall. From upstream to downstream, the sampling stations along the Liuma Stream are designated as DMU (upstream of the reservoir), DM (the reservoir), DMD (downstream of the reservoir), and DMO (the reservoir intertidal outlet). Along the Youzihu Waterfall stream, the stations are designated as YZHFWU (upstream of the waterfall), YZHFW1 (the waterfall zone), and YZHFW2 (directly below the waterfall). 【Survey period and frequency】 Annual field surveys have been conducted around March or April each year, which falls within the dry season, from 2021 to the present. |

Method step description:
- Field operations include deploying a set of traps (one long-foldable ring cage and two shrimp traps) overnight and conducting hand net surveys within the sampling area to capture stream fauna. Aquatic insect abundance was expressed as individuals per unit area, since hand nets allowed for sampling area estimation. For fish, decapods, and mollusks, abundance was expressed as the total number of individuals caught because multiple sampling gears were used.
