Data collected from this PhD study form part of a global research project, aiming to evaluate the effect of the Delta works on the Dutch Delta ecosystem.

Nematodes were collected using four different collection methods at two sites with contrasting sediment types. The aim was to assess differences between samplers by looking at the variation in nematode community structure.

These data are published in papers held within the MarBEF Publication Series. The MarBEF Data Management team has been screening these papers and provides the distribution data via EurOBIS.

Meiobenthic communities along a depth gradient in the Laptev Sea were sampled in order to identify densities and community compositions. Special attention was paid to the present nematode communities.

The abundance, biomass and community structure of nematodes along two transpolar transects in the central Artic Ocean were documented.

Clyde meiofauna - transect through Garroch Head disposal site (at Station P), Craib cores: Response of the meiofaunal community to sewage sludge disposal in the Firth of Clyde

The Darwin mounds area was sampled to investigate the importance of local-scale topographic features and small-scale biogenic structures in influencing the density and diversity of the associated meiobenthic communities and nematodes in particular.

Meiobenthos of subtidal sandbanks on the Belgian Continental Shelf (counts, nematode species information, nematode biomass information)

During 8 years (before, during and after the storm-surge barrier) phytoplankton was measured at two stations in the Oosterschelde (inner harbour and the estuary, the Netherlands) by Kees Bakker.

Biomass and abundance of western Baltic Sea benthic meio and macrofauna (all fauna >6 um sieve). Individual measures of body size, from Bornholm to Lulea. Only from Swedish and Danish waters.
