Mediterranean communities of lower mediolittoral rock moderately exposed to wave action

English name: Mediterranean communities of lower mediolittoral rock moderately exposed to wave action

Description (English)

These communities are located in the lower horizon of the mediolittoral rock and result from the concomitance of three components: moderate waves, variations in atmospheric pressure and wind and tide, if present. The dominant aspect, however, is the constant humidity of the substratum.
