Mediterranean circalittoral mixed sediment

Classification des habitats EUNIS 2022

Descriptif de l'habitat

Mixed (heterogeneous) sediment habitats in the Mediterranean circalittoral zone (generally below 15-20 m) including well mixed muddy gravelly sands or very poorly sorted mosaics of shell, cobbles and pebbles embedded in or lying upon mud, sand or gravel. Due to the variable nature of the seabed a variety of communities can develop which are often very diverse.
