Description
The dataset provides a quantitative list of the benthic macrofauna taxa, identified to species level, which was collected from soft sediments in the Prof. Luiz Saldanha Marine Park (Arrábida, SW Portugal) between 2007 and 2009, at depths ranging from 10 to 100 m, aiming at describing community structure and distribution as well as classifying and mapping benthic habitats according to the EUNIS system.
The data provided were produced in the framework of the research project BIOMARES (LIFE06 NAT/P/000192) - Restoration and Management of Biodiversity in the Marine Park Site Arrábida Espichel (PTCON0010), carried out to restore the seagrass meadows in the marine park, as well as to assess its the benthic biodiversity.
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 161 records.
2 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods
The samples were collected with a Smith-McIntyre grab (sampling area: 0,1 m2)
Study Extent | The samples were collected in georeferenced sites in the Arrábida Marine Protected Area during 3 dedicated sampling surveys carried out in July 2007, 2008 and 2009. |
---|
Method step description:
- In each site three grab samples were collected (two for faunal analysis and one for sediment grain size and organic matter analysis).
