Mediterranean infralittoral coarse sediment
Description (English)
Sedimentary habitats in the infralittoral near shore zone of the Mediteranean, typically extending from the extreme lower shore down to the lower limit for vascular plants. Sediment ranges from boulders and cobbles, through pebbles and shingle, coarse sands, sands, fine sands, muds, and mixed sediments. Those communities found in or on sediment are described within this broad habitat type.
