<h3>General presentation</h3>
This repository presents the R code and associated data used in the article <em>Multiple human activities in coastal benthic ecosystems: introducing a metric of cumulative exposure</em>.<br><br>
Datasets include information about the stations sampled at Sept-Îles (Québec, Canada) in 2017 and exposure indices. Data includes species biomass, density and taxonomy of benthic macrofaunal species, with physico-chemical parameters at the sediment surface, biotic indicators and exposure indices.<br><br>
The main research questions were to:
<ol>
<li>model the exposure of benthic ecosystems to anthropogenic activities locally</li>
<li>explore the links between benthic community diversity and anthropogenic exposure</li>
</ol>

<ul>
<li>Variables, units and files are explained in files <strong>README.yml</strong> (this file is a basic text file formatted with a YAML language) and <strong>README.txt</strong>.</li>
<li>Language and software used for the analyses: R (4.2), PRIMER-E (6)</li>
