Description
Gridded abundance maps of selected benthos taxa in the North Sea. This product was developed with DIVA (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis) and the Scale: log-transformed abundance. Data was derived from the 1986 North Sea Benthos Survey (Craeymeersh J., P. Kingston, E. Rachor, G. Duineveld, Carlo Heip, Edward Vanden Berghe, 1986: North Sea Benthos Survey.).
