Description
Abundance [ind. m-2] and biomass [g m-2; formalin wet weight] of macrozoobenthos from sediment cores (core height: 30 cm; core diameter: 11.43 cm; sampling area: approx. 0.01 m-2) collected by hand directly from the seabed or box corer during Comeback project in the southern Baltic Sea, along the Polish coast. Sampling took place from 3.04.2019 to 27.01.2020, during spring, autumn and winter, and additionally from the shore during summer, at depths from 0.5m to 63m. Sampling and analysis are described in detail in Silberberger et al. (2022; https://doi.org/10.1007/s12237-022-01074-w).
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 19 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
Macrozoobenthic samples were obtained from soft-bottom sediments using benthic box correr (or directly from the seafloor) . Sediments of approx. 20 cm height were taken by plexi-glass tubes of 11.43 cm diameter and filled with marine water and sealed for later experiments. After experimental part of the study was over, collected material was sieved over 0.5 mm size sieve to separate macrofauna and preserved in formalin solution. In the lab, samples were processed for taxonomic identification and quantitative analyses of abundance and biomass.
| Study Extent | The study covers benthic habitats of the southern Baltic Sea, including coastal and adjacent offshore soft-bottom environments along the Polish coast (53.774–54.439°N; 14.365–19.143°E). |
