Estuarine pollution gradient.Transect through dredgings disposal site, 7 stationson a 10m contour, 4 reps, (craib cores and Day grab (subsamples of 50ml syringe to a depth of 5cm)) more
Data were collected to look for changes in meiofauna community structures through a disposal site, to assess the utility of meiofauna samples collected by taking subsamples from grab samples compared to samples collected with a Craib corer and finally to relate the observed changes to the measured environmental variables Scope Themes: Biology, Biology > Benthos, Biology > Ecology - biodiversity Keywords: Marine/Coastal, Changes (time), Disposal (waste), Meiobenthos, Meiofauna, ANE, British Isles, Liverpool Bay, EurOBIS calculated BBOX, Copepoda, Nematoda Geographical coverage ANE, British Isles, Liverpool Bay [Marine Regions] EurOBIS calculated BBOX Stations
