Applicability of taxonomic sufficiency of macrofaunal assemblages in benthic ecological quality assessments: Insights from a semi-enclosed bay

To explore the applicability of taxonomic sufficiency in benthic ecological quality assessments, we analyzed the similarity of data matrices under different taxonomic levels and transformations based on macrofaunal data sampled from a semi-enclosed bay. The data matrix similarity revealed a highly s...
