For access to additional data, the provider needs to be contacted Description 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. more 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 Scope Themes: Biology > Benthos, Biology > Ecology - biodiversity Keywords: Marine/Coastal, Benthos, Macrobenthos, Rocky shores, EurOBIS calculated BBOX, MED, Tyrrhenian Sea Geographical coverage EurOBIS calculated BBOX Stations Bounding Box Coordinates: MinLong: 11,0974; MinLat: 42,4382 - MaxLong: 11,1333; MaxLat: 42,4394 [WGS84] Temporal coverage 22 July 2003 27 April 2004 19 July 2004 Parameter Contributors Università di Pisa; Dipartimento di Scienze dell 'Uomo e dell 'Ambiente, more, data creator, data owner Related datasets Publication Describing this dataset Benedetti-Cecchi, L.; Chato Osio, G.
