This dataset is a result of sampling meiobenthos and sediment from all sandbanks on the BCS during 1997 and 1998. Nematodes for 4 sandbanks were identified to species level and biomass was measured. more
The goal is to identify the granulometric variables structuring meiobenthic and nematode communities. To develop monitoring tools using nematodes Scope Themes: Biology, Biology > Benthos, Biology > Invertebrates Keywords: Continental shelf, Meiobenthos, Sand banks, ANE, Belgium, Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS), Nematoda Geographical coverage ANE, Belgium, Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS) [Marine Regions] Temporal coverage
February 1997 - 1 October 1997 February 1998 - 1 October 1998 Taxonomic coverage
