BenthProdExampleData: Example Data for calculating benthic productivity
In HenrikeAndresen/BenthicPro: Benthic Energy Flow

A data frame with macrozoobenthic abundance and biomass data of two van Veen Grab samples from the German North Sea. Contains conversion factors and the taxon information, lifestyle traits, and environmental information needed to calculate annual benthic productivity.

1	data("BenthProdExampleData")

A data frame with 41 observations on the following 28 variables:

SampleID: A sample identifier
