MA2-56 - Assemblages de la biocénose du détritique caractérisés par des substrats biogènes temporaires du médiolittoral en Méditerranée

Assemblages of the mediolittoral detritus biocenosis caracterised by temporal biogenic substrates

Classification des habitats EUNIS 2022

Descriptif de l'habitat

These biocenoses consist mainly of detritus-feeding species which draw their nourishment from decaying vegetation and miscellaneous debris caught up in the shingle. It is characterised by two crustaceans, the amphipod Echinogammarus olivii and the isopod Sphaeroma serratum. These communities are exposed to alternating water submersion and emersion because of variations in the water level, and they are frequently moistened by wavelets.
