Description
This study investigates the population density of meiofauna on the intertidal mudflats of the Tamar estuary in Cornwall. Monthly core samples were collected and analysed for meiofaunal specimens. The dataset contains a species list of the organisms found and comparisons in the size of the organisms and the density they were found at the various sample sites along the estuary.
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 33 records.
2 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section.
