Recolonization of a disturbed sandsediment by macrobenthos in the Sluice dock (Oostende) in 1980
Density and biomass of recolonizing macrobenthos species in the Sluice Dock in 1980. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Bultheel, H. (1981). Rekolonisatie door macrobenthos van een verstoord zandsediment in de Spuikom te Oostende. BSc Thesis. Rijksuniversiteit Gent: Gent. 52 pp. In march 1980 the Spuikom was drained for three weeks. From 28/03 the Spuikom was filled again with North Sea water through the harbour and after that cut off again. A recolonization of the sandsediment took place in the eastern part of the Spuikom. This study investigates the speed of the recolonization and which species follow each other in time.
