Macrozoobenthos community composition data from the tidal flats south of the backbarrier island Norderney, Lütetsburger plate, June 2013

Macrozoobenthos community composition data from the tidal flats south of the backbarrier island Norderney (Lütetsburger plate, June 2013). Data was collected along transects on 3 transition zones between habitat types. Transitions between habitat types were identified by means of remote sensing images.MU - transition from sandy flat to Mytilus edulis mussel bedARE - gradual transition from more sandy to more muddy sedimentUE - abrupt transition between sediment typesSediment from 3 sampling cylinders (area: 181.46 cm2, depth: 30cm) was sieved (mesh width: 1mm) at each sampling location.
