Baltic infralittoral mixed sediment characterized by sparse epibenthic macrocommunity
Description (English)
Baltic bottoms in the photic zone with 10- 90 % coverage of hard (rock/boulders/stone) and 10-90 % soft substrata (e.g. muddy/coarse sediment/sand). Sessile/semi-sessile macroscopic epibenthic fauna and flora is present but has less than 10 % coverage.
Physical environment
Substrate is soft or crystalline rock, boulders or stones mixed with mobile substrates such as sand or coarse substrate. Depth range: photic zone
Geographic range
Whole Baltic Sea
