This study investigates the population density of meiofauna on the intertidal mudflats of the Tamar estuary in Cornwall. Monthly core samples were collected and analysed for meiofaunal specimens. The dataset contains a species list of the organisms found and comparisons in the size of the organisms and the density they were found at the various sample sites along the estuary.

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. | 1984 University of Virginia Cornwall Foraminifera and meiofauna on an intertidal mudflat Core survey |
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. | 47a7f0aeb1065299f4147128a7420768 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | DASSHDT00000479 |
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 | 1972-12-01 |
