Dataset for: Nematode and copepod diversity (2012) from Louisiana near the Deepwater Horizon oil spill

At locations surrounding the Deepwater Horizon drilling site, box core samples and Shipek grab samples were collected for subsurface meiofauna and sediment analysis during the October-November 2012 NOAA Gordon Gunter cruise. This dataset contains sediment and meiofauna data comparing 5 box core sediment collections with 5 shipek sediment collections. Nematode and copepod diversity from the box core sites is provided. The dataset supports the publication Stephen C. Landers et al, Nematode and copepod diversity (2012) from Louisiana near the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington 127(1):47-57. 2014 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.2988/0006-324X-127.1.472012年10月至11月，美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）旗下的戈登·冈特号（Gordon Gunter）科考航次，在深水地平线（Deepwater Horizon）钻井平台周边海域采集箱式采泥样（box core samples）与Shipek型抓斗采泥样（Shipek grab samples），用于开展海底沉积物内小型底栖动物与沉积物分析。 本数据集包含沉积物与小型底栖动物相关数据，对比了5组箱式采泥样与5组Shipek型抓斗采泥样的采样结果，并提供了箱式采样点位的线虫类（Nematode）与桡足类（Copepod）多样性数据。 本数据集支撑了Stephen C. Landers等人2014年发表的学术研究，相关论文题为《深水地平线漏油事件附近路易斯安那海域的线虫与桡足类多样性（2012）》，刊载于《华盛顿生物学会会刊（Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington）》第127卷第1期，页码范围47至57，DOI链接为http://dx.doi.org/10.2988/0006-324X-127.1.47。
