Meiobenthos of subtidal sandbanks on the Belgian Continental Shelf [Meiobenthos van subtidale zandbanken op het Belgisch Continentaal Plat] Citation Vanaverbeke, J. et al., Meiobenthos of subtidal sandbanks on the Belgian Continental Shelf. Manuela Database, Universiteit Gent; Faculteit Wetenschappen; Vakgroep Biologie; Afdeling Mariene Biologie, Ghent, Belgium. https://marineinfo.org/id/dataset/53 Contact: Vanaverbeke, Jan Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description 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.
