Description

This dataset contains macrozoobenthos data from the southeastern North Sea from 2000. more

This work was a joint venture between AWI and Senckenberg and contributed to research for the Natura 2000 (EU Habitats Directive), Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (Vilm). The infauna data of Dogger Bank and Northern Oyster Ground were worked up by Senckenberg as a subcontractor of AWI, thus these data are jointly AWI/Senckenberg data. Epifauna were worked up together.
