Macrobenthos Sampling data for the North Inlet Estuary, Georgetown,South Carolina, from 1981 to 1992 North Inlet LTER (Reformatted to the ecocomDP Design Pattern)

This data package is formatted as an ecocomDP (Ecological Community Data Pattern). For
more information on ecocomDP see https://github.com/EDIorg/ecocomDP. This Level 1 data
package was derived from the Level 0 data package found here:
https://pasta.lternet.edu/package/metadata/eml/knb-lter-nin/9/1. The abstract below was
extracted from the Level 0 data package and is included for context: This data package consists of Macrobenthos Sampling Data for North Inlet Stations Bread
and Butter Creek from 1981 to 1992, and Debidue Creek from 1981 to 1984, North Inlet LTER.
The purpose of this study was to document the composition and abundance of macrobenthic
subtidal populations over time at one mud and one sand site. Macrobenthos was defined here
as those animals retained on a 0.5 mm mesh screen.

本数据包采用ecocomDP（生态群落数据模式，Ecological Community Data Pattern）格式编制。如需了解ecocomDP的更多详情，可访问：https://github.com/EDIorg/ecocomDP。本一级数据包（Level 1）源自如下链接所指向的零级数据包（Level 0）：https://pasta.lternet.edu/package/metadata/eml/knb-lter-nin/9/1。以下摘要是从该零级数据包（Level 0）中提取，以供上下文参考：本数据集涵盖北入口长期生态研究站（Long-Term Ecological Research, LTER）的大型底栖生物（Macrobenthos）采样数据，其中Bread Creek与Butter Creek站点的采样时段为1981年至1992年，Debidue Creek站点的采样时段为1981年至1984年。本研究旨在记录一处泥质底生境与一处沙质底生境中，潮下带大型底栖动物种群的组成与丰度随时间的变化情况。本次研究将大型底栖生物定义为可被0.5毫米孔径筛网截留的动物类群。
