Benthic foraminiferal counts >63 µm, absolute and relative abundances in sediment core PS2185-6

PS2185-6 was retrieved in 1991 during the Polarstern expedition ARKVIII/-3. Samples were freeze-dried and weight, thereafter, samples were wet and dry sieved over a >63 µm and 125 µm mesh, respectively. Benthic foraminifera were picked from sample splits of each grain-size fraction. Extrapolated to 100%, counts on the grain-size fraction were combined to create a data set >63 µm. This table shows the absolute abundances of species per gramm dry weight and their relative abundances. Species that don't contribute to bioevents in the sense of Wollenburg & Matthiessen (submitt.) were combined as 'others'.
