Abstract:
This dataset contain abundance data from Canadian Pacific, Arctic, and Atlantic Oceans from the intertidal zone to upper bathyal depths, encompassing 13 marine ecoregions. 35 benthic datasets that encompass 3,337 taxa (70% identified to species and 21% to genus) from 13,172 samples spanning 6,117 sites. Abiotic data from these ecoregions includes lat long, depth, latitude, chemical energy (export particulate organic carbon [POC] flux), thermal energy (bottom temperature), and seasonality of primary production on the benthic biodiversity.
