A1.13 - Biocénoses de la roche médiolittorale supérieure de Méditerranée et de la mer Noire

Mediterranean and Black Sea communities of upper mediolittoral rock

Classification des habitats EUNIS 2012

Descriptif officiel

The distributions and types of species in this habitat are profoundly affected by the submersion variability determined by wave action, and by irregularities in the sea level caused by atmospheric pressure and wind.

Descriptif en français

La distribution et le type des peuplements sont fortement marqués par la variabilité des submersions dues aux vagues et aux remontées irrégulières du niveau de la mer sous l’action de la pression atmosphérique et des vents.

Remarques

There is a certain degree of duplication among some habitat classes in the EUNIS system coming either from BioMar or the Barcelona or HELCOM classifications. Therefore this means that all level 4 definitions (presently based on BioMar and Barcelona) should be checked, and given a new name if necessary. The biogeographic details are to be addressed in level 5 habitats.
Zonal basis of habitats in Barcelona units is different from that of BioMar (life-type). May be duplication at level 5 which needs to be examined before revisiting level 4 (David Connor)
