| Description | |
| Summary | Data acquired during the monitoring of Microphytobenthos abundance and community composition, carried out at an irregular frequency, from monthly to seasonal, in the Gulf of Trieste, from February 1999 to June 2005. KC Haps bottom corer, 13 cm internal diameter. The sampled layer consists of the upper 5 mm of the sediment, which has been homogenized. Samples were fixed with Ca(HCO3)2-buffered formaldehyde (0.8% final concentration) and cell abundance and species composition of microphytobenthos were estimated according to Utermöhl’s method (1958), using an inverted microscope equipped with phase contrast, at 200-320-400x final magnifications. |
