Meiofaunal counts, 2003-2009, from marsh cores along Rowley River tidal creeks associated with long term fertilization experiments, Rowley, MA. The long term fertilization experiment, TIDE project, aims to simulate eutrophication on a large scale by the addition of NO3- aiming to reach 70µM concentrations from May to September every year during the growing season. This fertilization of the marsh has been going on at Sweeney Creek since the 2004 growing season and at Clubhead Creek in 2005 and then again in 2009 .

2003年至2009年采自美国马萨诸塞州罗利市罗利河潮汐水道沿岸沼泽岩心的小型底栖生物（meiofaunal）计数数据，该采样区域配套有长期施肥实验。本长期施肥实验为TIDE项目，旨在通过添加硝酸根离子（NO3-）模拟大规模富营养化，设定目标为在每年生长季的5月至9月将水体浓度达到70微摩尔每升（µM）。该沼泽施肥实验自2004年生长季起在斯威尼溪（Sweeney Creek）持续开展，2005年于俱乐部头溪（Clubhead Creek）启动该实验，并于2009年再次进行施肥操作。
