Baltic infralittoral mixed sediment characterized by submerged rooted plants
Description (English)
Baltic bottoms in the photic zone with more than 10 %, but less than 90 % coverage of both hard and soft substrata. Coverage of submerged rooted plants which also includes plants with rhizoids (i.e. Charales) cover at least 10 % of the seabed, and more than other perennial attached erect groups.
Physical environment
Salinity range: low to moderate; Exposure range: all; Depth range: photic zone.
Characteristic species
Stuckenia pectinata, Potamogeton perfoliatus, Zannichellia spp., Chara aspera
Geographic range
Whole Baltic Sea
