Nearshore coastal marine benthic epifaunal and infaunal biodiversity and ecosystem function data

Nearshore coastal marine benthic epifaunal and infaunal biodiversity data and accompanying environmental information such as sediment microalgal pigment concentrations, organic matter content and particle size distribution. Oxygen and inorganic nutrient flux data from soft-sediment seafloor chamber incubations is also available for some areas. Data from Cape Evans and Explorer's Cove (New Harbour), from October-November 2017. This data is collected to investigate the resilience/response of the marine ecosystem to changes in light and productivity as a consequence of climate change.
