Abundance of macrozoobenthos in surface sediments sampled with a multiboxcorer between 1988 and 2014
Macrozoobenthos was sampled with a multibox corer deployed during R/V Polarstern expeditions ANT VI/3, VII/4, XIII/3, XV/3, XVII/3, XXI/2, XXVII/3, and XXIX/9 (PS82), which took place between the austral summers of 1988 and 2014. Sediment was sieved with a 0.5mm mesh and fixed in 5% formaldehyde; abundance were calculated based on the animal counts back on land.
This data set correspond to an update to stations which belong to previously published data sets:
- ANT VI/3 (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.834017)
- ANT VII/4 (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.834021)
- ANT XIII/3 (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.834029)
- ANT XV/3 (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.834041)
- ANT XVII/3 (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.834074)
- ANT XXI/2 (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.834049)
- ANT XXVII/3 (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.834057)
- PS82 (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.908125)
This update includes samplings in the Kapp Norvegia/Austasen area, eastern Weddell Sea, correction of the locations of the stations and values for macrozoobenthic abundance.
