The spatial heterogeneity of the nematode associations on a small intertidal estuarine flat was investigated.

The global objective of this project is to deliver a substantial contribution to the knowledge of the long term variability in the biodiversity of the macrobenthos and the relationship with anthropogenic activities on the Belgian Continental Shelf.

This dataset is the updated version of the "TROPHOS/PODO-I work-database Soetaert" dataset. Additional tables with TROPHOS data are added (from Ugent and NIOO).

The abundance, community composition and species diversity of the nematode community at a station on the Belgian Continental Shelf is documented on a monthly basis. This study was carried out as part of a PhD thesis
