SAMPLINGEVENT

Infauna from seagrass meadows in the coastal Bulgarian Black Sea (2013-2014)

This resource has not been registered with GBIF
Abundance (individuals/m2) and biomass (g/m2) of macrozoobenthic taxa from seagrass meadows along the Southern Bulgarian Black Sea coast (Burgas Bay), collected during field surveys of IBER-BAS in 2013-2014 as part of project PERSEUS. Due to the sampling method (hand corer), the dataset represents the infauna associated with the seagrasses. The dataset also contains measurements of several environmental parameters at the stations: sediment grain size (% gravel, sand, and silt/clay); sediment moisture content (%) and total organic matter (% loss on ignition); temperature and salinity of the water.

Project Data

PERSEUS is a research project that assesses the dual impact of human activity and natural pressures on the Mediterranean and Black Seas. PERSEUS merges natural and socio-economic sciences to predict the long-term effects of these pressures on marine ecosystems. The project aims to design an effective and innovative research governance framework, which will provide the basis for policymakers to turn back the tide on marine life degradation. http://www.perseus-net.eu/

Additional Metadata

Purpose The data were collected to characterize the current diversity and community structure of macrozoobenthic communities associated with seagrasses in the Bulgarian Black Sea, and to test the sensitivity and performance of several uni- and multivariate zoobenthic indices commonly used in WFD/MSFD assessments in the Black Sea.
