Title

1999 - 1999 Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (Cefas) Nematode assemblages from field-sampling and lab based deposition experiments from the Creeksea estuary, February 1999

Abstract

Data consists of presense data of nematode worms in the form of count data. Bulk sediment samples were collected from the Creeksea estuary (south east coast of the UK) in February 1999. The csv file "nematodes_field_samples_creeksea_1999" contains data from field-collected sediments, while the csv entitled "nematodes_lab_experiments_creeksea_1999" contains data from experimental treatments sumulating the deposition of dredged material. See the Read Me file for a description of conditions within the microcosms from laboratory experiments. Data detailing sediment granulometry and trace metal concentrations of the bulk sediment is also available.

Lineage

Bulk sediments samples (top few centimetres of sediment) were collected in February 1999 from the Creeksea estuary in the south east UK. <span style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: #ffffff; color: #555555; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">...</span> Data are the result of a laboratory experiment, designed to investigate the effects of the degree of contamination and the role of burial associated with the deposition of dredged material on meiobenthic nematodes. Estuarine nematode assemblages were exposed to the simulated deposition of uncontaminated, oxic intertidal mud and anoxic sediments from the Mersey and the Tees estuaries, both of which were contaminated with heavy metals. The sediments, which differed little in terms of grain size, were deposited in two different frequencies.
