Specific diversity data of macrobenthic communities in the "Pierre Noire" study site in the English Channel from 1977 on

Monitoring of species richness, abundances of all macrobenthic species, biomass, sediment grain size, temperature and salinity The experiment was designed to study long-term changes in community structure in response to global change (climatic change) and local anthropogenis pressures (e.g. eutrophication). Fine sand macrobenthic communities are monitored two to five times a year at the "Pierre Noire" site. The different parameters wich are measured are (1) total and specific abundances, (2) specific richness
