Bulk sediment samples were collected from the Creeksea estuary (south east coast of the UK) in February 1999. The csv file "nematodes_field_samples_creeksea_1999" contains data from field-collected sediments, while the csv entitled "nematodes_lab_experiments_creeksea_1999" contains data from experimental treatments sumulating the deposition of dredged material. See the Read Me file for a description of conditions within the microcosms from laboratory experiments. Data detailing sediment granulometry and trace metal concentrations of the bulk sediment is also available.

To identify nematode species, Platt & Warwick (1983, 1988) and Warwick et al. (1998) identification keys were used. Data are the result of a laboratory experiment, designed to investigate the effects of the degree of contamination and the role of burial associated with the deposition of dredged material on meiobenthic nematodes. Estuarine nematode assemblages were exposed to the simulated deposition of uncontaminated, oxic intertidal mud and anoxic sediments from the Mersey and the Tees estuaries, both of which were contaminated with heavy metals. The sediments, which differed little in terms of grain size, were deposited in two different frequencies. MEDIN 3.1.1
