Macrozoobenthos data collected in the abandoned mining area of Ingurtosu-Montevecchio, Sardinia, Italy during the years 1993-1994.
The dataset contains taxonomic and body size data of the benthic macroinvertebrate communities collected in the abandoned mining area of Ingurtosu-Montevecchio (Sardinia, Italy) during the years 1993-1994. Sampling sites were located along two main streams Rio Roia Cani-Piscinas and Rio Naracauli, and outside the mining area. Data refer to 34 taxa and 2033 individuals.

- Description
- The study was carried out in Spring, Autumn and Winter using the leaf pack technique at 11 sampling sites. Phragmites australis leaves were cut into 10 cm-long pieces, oven-dried at 60 °C for 72 h, weighed into 5.0 ± 0.1 g lots and enclosed in nylon bags (0.5 cm mesh size). In the three seasons 16 leaf packs were distributed at each sampling site, anchored to rocks and exposed for 30-days. After 30 days, the leaf packs were retrieved from the study sites and placed in a plastic bag, sealed and returned to the laboratory in an insulated cool box. The leaf material was carefully washed in flowing water and sieved in an 800 m mesh size sieve in order to remove both organic and inorganic sediments and benthic macroinvertebrates. All animals were identified to the genus level, and, whenever possible, to species level, counted, measured (body length) and their body mass determined.
Sampling
- Sampling Description
- The sampling design was as follows: 3 seasons, 11 sampling sites and 16 leaf packs for sampling sites.
