Sylt Roads Meroplankton time series at List, Ferry Terminal station in 2013

In order to monitor long-term variability in or eventual change of the planktonic community a quantitative analysis of meroplankton is ongoing since 1996 in the Sylt-Rømø Bight, a region of high ecological importance within the Marine Protect Area National Park Schleswig Holsteinisches Wattenmeer. Since 2014 the sampling is tightly linked to the LTER Sylt Roads time series thus enabling the coupling of species occurrence to the respective hydrochemical and physical conditions in the water column.

为监测浮游生物群落的长期变异乃至最终演变，研究团队自1996年起便在叙尔特-勒姆湾（Sylt-Rømø Bight）开展阶段性浮游生物（meroplankton）的定量分析工作。该海湾是石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因瓦登海国家公园海洋保护区（Marine Protect Area）内生态重要性极高的区域，相关研究迄今仍在持续。自2014年起，本采样工作与长期生态研究（Long-Term Ecological Research, LTER）叙尔特航道（Sylt Roads）时间序列紧密绑定，从而可实现物种出现记录与水柱中对应水化学、物理环境条件的耦合关联分析。
