The abundance, community composition and species diversity of the nematode community at a station on the Belgian Continental Shelf is documented on a monthly basis. This study was carried out as part of a PhD thesis more
The response of a nematode community to phytoplankton sedimentation was investigated at an organically enriched station on the Belgian coast, 115 bis. Both structural (abundance, community comosition and species diversity) and functional (trophic composition) aspects of the nematode community were evaluated on a monthly basis. The phytoplankton community was analysed by examining diatoms and Phaeocystis colonies in surface waters. To assess phytoplankton sedimentation, pigment content of the sediment was determined on a regular basis.
