Diatom, and associated data from grid samples collected in Brown Bay
Progress Code: completed Sediment samples were collected from nine points along 3 parallel transects within the contaminated Brown Bay. The diatom spreadsheet (diatom_data) contains both initial diatom counts and the relative abundance of benthic species. The abbreviation used to identify species ar...
