Mediterranean coralligenous communities moderately exposed to hydrodynamic action
English name:
Mediterranean coralligenous communities moderately exposed to hydrodynamic action
Description (English)
This habitat is present in the Mediterranean on hard rocky and/or biogenic horizontal substrata formed by coralligenous formations developed within sedimentary beds that are well supplied by currents, up to 100 metres in depth, in clear waters with moderate hydrodynamic action. Coralligenous concretions are found on rock faces or on rocks where calcareous algae can build biogenic constructions.
