摘要：

BENGAL (High-resolution temporal and spatial study of the BENthic biology and Geochemistry of a north-eastern Atlantic abyssal Locality) was a three-year multidisciplinary study of the abyssal benthic boundary layer in the northeast Atlantic. The aim of BENGAL was to determine how the, seabed community and the geochemistry of the sediments change seasonally in response to a highly seasonal input of organic matter from the overlying water column. It did this by organising an intensive sampling programme on 14 research cruises over a two-year period. This introductory paper sets the scene for the subsequent scientific contributions. It describes the study area, sampling strategy and techniques, and provides a brief overview of the contributions to the BENGAL Special Volume. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
