Compilation of 17 benthic datasets that sampled benthic ecosystems over gradients of commercial bottom trawling intensity (n=14), eutrophication (n=1), oxygen depletion (n=1) and pollution (n=1) (Table 1). Compilation of 18 benthic indicators that were calculated for each gradient dataset. The indicators estimated were community biomass, abundance, richness, relative Margalef diversity, Shannon index, Simpson index, Inverse Simpson, AZTI’s Marine Biotic Index (AMBI), Multivariate AMBI (M-AMBI), BENTIX Biotic Index (BENTIX), Danish Quality Index (DKI), Trawling Disturbance Index (TDI), Modified TDI (mTDI), Modified vulnerability index (mT), Median longevity (Lm), Partial TDI (pTDI), Sentinels of Seabed (SoS), Long-lived fraction (Lf). The dataset has information on: 1) indicator outputs per sampling station; 2) combined data tables with gradient, station, and species information; 3) individual gradient information with replicate samples and the environmental variables reported in the original study.
