MB4-22 - Communautés végétales sur sédiment hétérogène de l'infralittoral en milieu à faible salinité en Atlantique

Vegetated communities on low salinity Atlantic infralittoral mixed sediment

Classification des habitats EUNIS 2022

Descriptif de l'habitat

Shallow sublittoral sediments which support seaweed communities, typically including the kelp Laminaria saccharina, the bootlace weed Chorda filum and various red and brown seaweeds, particularly filamentous types. The generally sheltered nature of these habitats enables the seaweeds to grow on shells and small stones which lie on the sediment surface; some communities develop as loose-lying mats on the sediment surface.
Beds of submerged or slightly emergent vascular vegetation of brackish seas, sea inlets, estuaries, permanent pools of mud or sand flats, and coastal lagoons.
