Data are initially restricted, but the access condition relaxes to academic or unrestricted once a specified period of time after an event (such as collection, publication, completion of QC procedures or project cessation) has elapsed
Description
Microcosm experiments were carried out to test for the relationship between macrofaunal species diversity and density on ecoystem functioning. This database contains the results of the experiments.
