Meiobenthic assemblages colonizing artificial soft sediments at 20 m depth in Arctic glacial Kongsfjorden, Spitsbergen, Svalbard - individual number ...

Conical terracotta containers (43 cm upper diameter, 40 cm height), filled with artificial soft sediment (sand-Benthonit mixture), exposed subsequently since 2002 at 20 m depth, sampled and refilled for one-year, two-year and three-year exposure plus ambient samples. Sampled with core (diameter 4.5...

Description
Summary:Conical terracotta containers (43 cm upper diameter, 40 cm height), filled with artificial soft sediment (sand-Benthonit mixture), exposed subsequently since 2002 at 20 m depth, sampled and refilled for one-year, two-year and three-year exposure plus ambient samples. Sampled with core (diameter 4.5 cm; area 15.9 cm**2), upper 3 cm of sediment. Extraction by Levasil flotation method with centrifugation (40 µm mesh size). ...
