Data Records
The data in this occurrence 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 497 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data
The overall aim of the project was to unravel patterns of coralline algal diversity and distribution along the Norwegian coast. Sub goals were to: 1) uncover how common cryptic species are among the widely distributed coralline algae along the Norwegian coast 2) provide knowledge on how coralline species responds to environmental factors, both with respect to occurrence, mode of life (unattached, encrusting) and morphology 3) provide new knowledge on which species that form maerl beds in different ecoregions along the Norwegian coast
