LTER Mar Piccolo phytobenthos biomass from 2011 to 2019

This data set includes biomass values of phytobenthic species, mainly seaweeds, recorded in the Mar Piccolo of Taranto in the years 2011-2019. Seasonal collection campaigns have been carried out in four stations and three replicates were collected for each station. Starting from 2016 a fifth station was analyzed (40°30'03.15"N; 17°18'30.99"E). For Station 1-4 location see (Petrocelli A., Cecere E., Rubino F. 2019.
