Biomass of macrophytobentos in the Puck Bay in 2010-2018

The database contains data on qualitative composition and biomass of macrophytobenthos (flower plants and macroalgae) in samples collected in the Puck Bay area (Gulf of Gdańsk, southern Baltic Sea) at 20 stations between 2010-2018. The database contains information on sampling sites (region, geographical coordinates, depth), sample characteristics (date, field worker, lab worker, degree of vegetation cover, field research equipment, total sampling area, dissemination of data - publication), taxa (updated name according to the World Register of Marine Species web page, APHIA ID code, LSID algabase database) and biomass of identified taxa (g of dry matter). The data was supplemented with additional information: values of measured parameters of water and sediment, e.g. temperature and salinity of water, sediment granulometry, and selected photos documenting the identified taxa.
The data show the changes that have occurred in macrophytobenthic communities over the years.
