Lowshore macrobenthos assemblages near Porto Santo Stefano

Description in English

This dataset is about lowshore assemblages on a shore next to a marina (Porto Santo Stefano, NW Mediterranean, 42°26'.11N, 11°07'.03E) and on 3 reference shores (stretches of coast about 30 m long, hundreds of m apart) 2 Areas (Stretches of shore 3-5 m long, tens of m apart) were sampled in each Shore 5 Replicates (visual counts on 20x20 cm quadrates) were sampled in each Area Sampling was repeated at three different dates Taxa were identified at the most detailed level of taxonomic resolution achievable by the naked eye by projecting photographs onto a grid Data are percentage cover (sessile organisms) or number of individuals (mobile animals) of each taxon in each quadrate

Abstract in English

The general goal of this study was to test if assemblages of algae and invertebrates of rocky shores next to marinas are different in taxon composition and abundance compared to reference shores far away from this source of disturbance.
