Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (CBESS) spider and beetle abundance on salt marsh sites at Morecambe Bay and Essex

The dataset comprises the spider and beetle abundance sampled by suction sampling in each 1metre (m) x 1m quadrat. Sampling was conducted at six salt marsh sites at four spatial scales: 1 m (the minimal sampling unit) nested within a hierarchy of increasing scales of 1-10 m, 10-100 m and 100-1000 m. Three of the sites were in Morecambe Bay, North West England and three of the sites were in Essex, South East England. All samples were taken during the winter and summer of 2013. This data was collected as part of Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (CBESS): NE/J015644/1. The project was funded with support from the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (BESS) programme. BESS is a six-year programme (2011-2017) funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) as part of the UK's Living with Environmental Change (LWEC) programme.

该数据集包括通过吸虫采样法在每个1米（m）x 1米方格内采集的蜘蛛和甲虫丰度。采样在六个盐沼地点进行，涉及四个空间尺度：1米（最小采样单元）嵌套在1-10米、10-100米和100-1000米逐渐增加的尺度层级中。其中三个地点位于英格兰西北部的默西姆湾，另外三个地点位于英格兰东南部的埃塞克斯。所有样本均在2013年的冬季和夏季采集。这些数据作为海岸生物多样性和生态系统服务可持续性（CBESS）项目的一部分而收集，项目编号为NE/J015644/1。该项目得到了生物多样性和生态系统服务可持续性（BESS）计划的支持。BESS是一项为期六年的计划（2011-2017），由英国自然环境研究理事会（NERC）和生物技术与生物科学研究理事会（BBSRC）资助，作为英国“与环境共存”（LWEC）计划的一部分。
