Seasonal monitoring of microphytoplankton abundance and community composition carried out in the site of Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) station "C1", in the Gulf of Trieste, North Adriatic Sea.Sampling Description
Study Extent
Seasonal sampling in the LTER station C1 in the Gulf of Trieste, North Adriatic Sea.Sampling
KC Haps bottom corer, 13 cm internal diameter. The sampled layer consists of the upper 5 mm of the sediment which has been homogenized.Method steps
- Method step description: Samples were fixed with Ca(HCO3)2-buffered formaldehyde (0.8% final concentration) and cell abundance and species composition of microphytobenthos were estimated according to Utermöhl’s method (1958), using an inverted microscope equipped with phase contrast, at 200-320-400x final magnifications. Data are expressed as cell per cm3 sediment.
