Species-poor mixed sediment shores

EUNIS habitat type code	A2.43	Level	4
Edition	EUNIS Habitat Classification 2012 - a revision of the habitat classification descriptions.

Description ( English )

Eulittoral mixed substrata where the substratum is too mobile or disturbed to support a seaweed community (A2.431). This is a biotope with a low species diversity and the relatively high number of species in the characterising species list are due to a variation in the species composition from site to site, not to high species richness on individual sites. Note: Connor et al (2004) classify this habitat type together with A1.45 and A2.82 as LR.FLR.Eph
