Benthic Community Abundance and Biomass Data, Hale 1974, The Role of Benthic Communities in the Nutrient Cycles of an Estuary

These benthic community abundance and biomass data were collected in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, USA, as part of a Master's thesis ( Hale, Stephen. 1974. The Role of Benthic Communities in the Nutrient Cycles of an Estuary. Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island, Narragansett, Rhode Island). Three stations were sampled in November 1973 (5 replicates), March 1974 (3 replicates), and July 1974 (3 replicates). The taxonomy file gives the taxonomy of the species collected.

本数据集为美国罗德岛州纳拉甘西特湾（Narragansett Bay）的底栖生物群落（benthic community）丰度与生物量数据，采集自斯蒂芬·黑尔（Stephen Hale）1974年的硕士学位论文《河口营养循环中的底栖生物群落作用》（罗德岛大学海洋研究生院，罗德岛州纳拉甘西特）。本次研究共设置3个采样站位，分别于1973年11月（5个重复样本）、1974年3月（3个重复样本）以及1974年7月（3个重复样本）开展采样。配套的分类信息文件（taxonomy file）包含本次采集到的所有物种的分类学信息。
