Report: Macrozoobenthos: Methodological Study Norderney (1995)»

Description

The present study on a sand-watt station located at a Norderney watt station examines how many samples are required for a representative determination of abundance and biomass of soil fauna. First, an empirical approach showed that reliable abundance values of individual species are achieved with very different sample numbers. The main goal of this study refers to the question as to how many samples are required to obtain representative figures of abundance and biomass of benthic organisms. At first, empirical approach resulted in quite different numbers of samples which are necessary for different species as well as for total abundance and total biomass. It is quite evident that the distribution pattern of the individual species plays an important role in this method.
