They all have however the same aim: studying the factors determining the distribution of macrobenthic invertebrates in relation to the abiotic environment more Other aims are assessing the potential impact of environmental changes; development of statistical tools to predict the occurrence of macrobenthos. Geographical area : several sites scattered over the Schelde estuary, including the polyhaline, mesohaline, oligohaline and freshwater tidal zone of the estuary (both subtidal and intertidal) Parameters : Abundance, biomass and population structure/dynamics of macrobenthic species and a characterisation of the abiotic environment (depth, sediment characteristics, salinity, etc.; at some locations also concentrations of pollutants) Scope Themes: Coastal studies (e.g. shores, estuaries) Keywords: Marine/Coastal, Brackish water, Benthos, Macrobenthos, ANE, Netherlands, Westerschelde, ANE, Scheldt Estuary, Belgium, Zeeschelde Geographical coverage ANE, Netherlands, Westerschelde [Marine Regions] ANE, Scheldt Estuary [Marine Regions] Belgium, Zeeschelde [Marine Regions] Temporal coverage From 1988 on [In Progress] Parameters Biomass Density Population composition Salinity Water depth Contributors Vlaamse overheid; Beleidsdomein Omgeving; Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek (INBO), more, data manager Related datasets Parent dataset: ME-3 Monitoring the estuary along the Zeeschelde - macrobenthos, more Publication Used in this dataset Ysebaert, T.J.
