Concept: [Hediste diversicolor] and [Corophium volutator] in littoral gravelly sandy mud in the eunishabitats vocabulary

Concept URI http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/eunishabitats/A2.4115
Preferred label [Hediste diversicolor] and [Corophium volutator] in littoral gravelly sandy mud
Definition Extremely sheltered gravelly sandy mud, subject to variable or reduced salinity. The infaunal community consists of the ragworm [Hediste diversicolor], [Streblospio shrubsolii], [Capitella capitata] and [Manayunkia aestuarina]. Oligochaetes and [Corophium volutator] are abundant. Given the low sample numbers for this biotope, more records are needed to confirm the characterising species list. Situation: It is probable that there are broad transition areas between this biotope and the corresponding muddy sediment biotope Hed.Cvol. The boundaries may be very indistinct, with HedMx.Cvol present in patches of gravelly mud on areas of mudflat, where the main biotope is Hed.Cvol.
