Description

Environmental monitoring in the port of Trieste after the mooring of the Ro-Ro vessel Und Adriyatik, as requested by the Harbour Master. Water and sediment samples were collected before and after arrival to assess possible impacts on the marine ecosystem. Chemical analyses, plankton abundance and taxonomic composition, biological toxicity tests, and microbiological studies were performed to detect pollutants and ecological changes.

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 35 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.
