LR.FLR.Rkp.G Green seaweeds (Ulva spp. and Cladophora spp.) in shallow upper shore rockpools
Published date 2015-03Rockpools in the littoral fringe or upper eulittoral zone subject to widely fluctuating temperatures and salinity are characterised by ephemeral green alga of the genus Ulva, along with Cladophora spp...
LR.FLR.Eph.EphX Ephemeral green and red seaweeds on variable salinity and/or disturbed eulittoral mixed substrata
Published date 2015-03Eulittoral mixed substrata (pebbles and cobbles overlying sand or mud) that are subject to variations in salinity and/or siltation, characterised by dense blankets of ephemeral green and red seaweeds....
LS.LBR Littoral biogenic reefs
Published date 2015-03The Littoral Biogenic Reefs habitat complex contains two biotope complexes (littoral Sabellaria reefs, and mixed sediment shores with mussels), encompassing the littoral biotope dominated by the honey...
LS.LMu.MEst.HedMacScr Hediste diversicolor, Macoma balthica and Scrobicularia plana in littoral sandy mud
Published date 2015-03Mainly mid shore mud or sandy mud subject to variable salinity on sheltered estuarine shores. Typically, the sediment is wet in appearance and has an anoxic layer below 1 cm depth. The surface of the ...
LS.LMp Littoral macrophyte-dominated sediment
Published date 2015-03Littoral macrophyte-dominated sediment biotopes include saltmarshes on the upper shore and seagrass beds on the mid and upper shore. These higher plant-dominated communities develop mostly on sheltere...
LR.FLR.Rkp.FK Fucoids and kelp in deep eulittoral rockpools
Published date 2015-03Deep or larger rockpools in the mid to lower eulittoral zone on exposed to moderately exposed shores characterised by the wrack Fucus serratus and the kelp Laminaria digitata and the red seaweed Coral...
SS.SMx.CMx Circalittoral mixed sediment
Published date 2015-03Mixed (heterogeneous) sediment habitats in the circalittoral zone (generally below 15-20 m) including well mixed muddy gravelly sands or very poorly sorted mosaics of shell, cobbles and pebbles embedd...
LR.FLR.Rkp.Cor Coralline crust-dominated shallow eulittoral rockpools
Published date 2015-03Shallow and smaller rockpools throughout the eulittoral zone in a wide range of wave exposures characterised by a covering of encrusting coralline algae on which Corallina officinalis often forms a de...
SS.SMu.OMu Offshore circalittoral mud
Published date 2015-03In mud and cohesive sandy mud in the offshore circalittoral zone, typically below 50-70 m, a variety of faunal communities may develop, depending upon the level of silt/clay and organic matter in the ...
