Sabellaria spinulosa and Caryophyllia smithii abundance data from a site near Skomer Island. Subset of of a more extensive faunal survey of the site, where baseline studies of seasonal changes in animal communities were carried out over a one year period at a location near Skomer Island, south Wales. A basic map of the sampling location is included in the report, but no grid references or latitude/longitude are included. The location has therefore been estimated from a map.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 2728 |
Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 1987-1988 Skomer Marine Reserve subtidal monitoring project animal communities on stones |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 282ef8f53f35d48b10b04269af1d8e1a |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | MRMLN0020000001F |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1987-03-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1988-01-31 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | unknown |
Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Sabellaria spinulosa and Caryophyllia smithii abundance data from a site near Skomer Island. Subset of of a more extensive faunal survey of the site, where baseline studies of seasonal changes in animal communities were carried out over a one year period at a location near Skomer Island, south Wales. A basic map of the sampling location is included in the report, but no grid references or latitude/longitude are included. The location has therefore been estimated from a map. |
Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Studies of seasonal changes in animal communities have been carried out over a one year period at a location near Skomer Island, south Wales. Visits to sites were made monthly. Methods included in situ monitoring, photography and collection of replicate samples (25cm x 25cm) of the substratum, which in this case was made up of pebbles. The fauna collected was later identified in the laboratory and the data tabulated. A total of 12 samples were collected during 6 visits to the site at two monthly intervals from March 1987. Abundances are measured as percentage occurance or as individuals. A basic map of the sampling location is included in the report, but no grid references or latitude/longitude are included. The location has therefore been estimated from a map. This survey was collated by MarLIN as part of a contract to find information on the distribution of species and habitats in the Irish Sea as part of the Irish Sea Pilot project. |
