August 2024 data collected during a cruise of the R/V Professor Multanovsky supports a submitted research article. The dataset includes geographic coordinates, bottom water temperature and salinity, meiofaunal abundance, nematode community and trophic structure, sediment granulometry, and total organic carbon from 9 stations in Avacha Bay and the adjacent Avachinsky Gulf.
Use Cases
- Analyze biodiversity patterns based on nematode community structure data
- Model relationships between environmental factors and meiofaunal abundance based on water temperature, salinity, and sediment granulometry
- Study trophic structure of nematode assemblages based on the trophic structure variable
- Map spatial distribution of meiofauna based on geographic coordinates from 9 stations
Strengths
- Includes 9 sampling stations with three replicate cores per station
- Contains 7 distinct variable groups including physical, chemical, and biological measurements
- Data is associated with a submitted peer-reviewed research article
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- The dataset is 27.2 KB, indicating a very limited scope
