Nematode assemblages from field-samlping and lab based paint-derived tributyltin (TBT) contamination experiments from the Creeksea estuary, March 2001

Data consists of presense data of nematode worms in the form of count data.Bulk sediment samples were collected from the Creeksea estuary (south east coast of the UK) in March 2001.

The csv file "nematodes_field_creeksea_2001" contains data from field-collected sediments, while the csv entitled "nematodes_lab_experiemnts_creeksea_2001" contains data from experimental treatments sumulating the deposition of dredged material. The Read Me file contains discriptions of the microcosms from the deposition experiements.

Data detailing biomass (and size spectra) of the dominant nematode species Cyatholaimus gracilis,sediment granulometry and total organic carbon concentrations of bulk sediment is also available.
