Meiobenthos densities and abiotic parameters measured during a cage experiment in an Avicennia marina and Ceriops tagal forest sampled between August 1992 and July 1993. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Schrijvers, J. (1996). Interactions between epifauna and infauna in a Kenyan mangrove forest: an experimental approach = Interacties tussen epifauna en infauna in een Kenyaans mangrovewoud: een experimentele benadering.
