Description

Freshwater invertebrates collected semi-quantitatively from wetlands (e.g. bogs, fens, swamps) below an altitude of 250 m, and which are subject to a range of anthropogenic pressures (i.e. relatively pristine to heavily impacted). At the scale of each wetland, environmental information was collected; then, within each wetland an average of 3 (but up to 6) different water bodies (i.e. sites) were sampled with water quality parameters measured at each site; and at each site, two 'replicate' invertebrate samples were collected (i.e. A and B samples).

Data Records

The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 769 records.

2 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
