Bulk sediment samples were collected from both the Exe estuary and the Lynher estuary between February and May 1996. This data is the result of labatory experiments on physical disurbance and details the counts of different nematode species of samples following disturbance and various lengths of recovery time. The Read Me file contains further information on the experiments conducted on each microcosm.

This dataset was the first of its kind, making use of simplified ecosystem models (microcosms). Prior to 1996, no microcosm experiments had been undertaken to examine the effects of different frequencies of physical disturbances on meiofaunal communities. To identify nematode species, Platt & Warwick (1983, 1988) and Warwick et al. (1998) identification keys were used. Samples were subjected to physical disturbance in the lab, and species counts were conducted after various recovery times. MEDIN 3.1.1
