Description
Experimental data using benthic mesocosm facility at Solbergstrand, Norway. - 4 box cores containing four cages. Cages= two replicates of two densities of Brissopsis. Samples taken inside cages. Samples taken outside cages = controls more

This data represent the results of an enclosure experiment in a benthic mesocosm. This dataset wanted to determine the effects of the predatory and disturbance activities of the heart urchin on natural meiobenthic nematode communities.
