Description
Summary:General presentation This repository presents the R code and associated data used in the article Determining the ecological status of benthic coastal communities: a case study in an anthropized sub-Arctic area. Datasets include information about the stations sampled at Sept-Îles (Québec, Canada) in 2017. Data includes species biomass, density, taxonomy and traits of benthic macrofaunal species, with physico-chemical parameters at the sediment surface. The main research questions were to: compare outcomes of various benthic environmental indicators understand how these indicators relate to habitat parameters for validation and to select appropriate applications Specific details Variables, units and files are explained in files README.yml (this file is a basic text file formatted with a YAML language) and README.txt. Language and software used for the analyses: R (4.0.3)
