Evaluation of Possible Effects on Rocky Shore Biota from Oil Spillage from the 'Nella Dan'

Metadata record for data expected from ASAC Project 250See the link below for public details on this project.The study investigated the impacts of oiling on the biota of rocky shores. Five shore zones were evaluated and kelp holdfasts were collected (but not evaluated as part of this project). Data were collected using quadrat and line transect methods using counts and percentage cover as variables.Data for this work was also used in ASAC projects 672 and 1003 (ASAC_672, ASAC_1003).This dataset contains the 1988 data only.The site codes used in this project are:SB = Sandy BaySEC = Secluded BayBB = Buckles BayGC = Garden CoveGG = Green GorgeGB = Goat BayThe first number given after the site code is the site number at that sampling location. The second number is the replicate at that site. Thus sb(1)3 is Sandy Bay site 1, replicate 3.The numbers are total individuals of each species that were found in each holdfast sample. This is a basic, though standard, species-abundance matrix.The fields in this dataset are:SpeciesYearSite

本数据集为ASAC项目250（ASAC Project 250）预期产出的元数据记录，项目公开详情请见下方链接。本研究探讨了溢油对岩岸生物群落的影响。本研究共评估了5个岸带区域，并采集了海藻固着器（kelp holdfasts），但未将其纳入本项目的评估范畴。数据采集采用样方（quadrat）法与样线（line transect）法，以个体计数及盖度百分比作为观测变量。本研究所用数据同时被应用于ASAC项目672与ASAC项目1003（ASAC_672、ASAC_1003）。本数据集仅收录1988年的观测数据。本项目所用样地编码如下：SB = 沙湾（Sandy Bay）；SEC = 隐秘湾（Secluded Bay）；BB = 巴克尔湾（Buckles Bay）；GC = 花园湾（Garden Cove）；GG = 绿色峡谷（Green Gorge）；GB = 山羊湾（Goat Bay）。样地编码后的首个数字为对应采样点位的样地编号，第二个数字为该点位的重复采样编号。例如sb(1)3代表沙湾样地1的第3次重复采样。各海藻固着器样本中检出的每个物种的总个体数即为样本数值，本数据集为符合行业标准的基础物种-多度矩阵（species-abundance matrix）。本数据集包含以下字段：物种、年份、样地。
