Concept: Atlantic and Mediterranean moderate energy infralittoral rock in the eunishabitats vocabulary

Concept URI	http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/eunishabitats/A3.2
Preferred label	Atlantic and Mediterranean moderate energy infralittoral rock
Definition	Predominantly moderately wave-exposed bedrock and boulders, subject to moderately strong to weak tidal streams. On the bedrock and stable boulders there is typically a narrow band of kelp [Laminaria digitata] in the sublittoral fringe which lies above a [Laminaria hyperborea] forest and park. Associated with the kelp are communities of seaweeds, predominantly reds and including a greater variety of more delicate filamentous types than found on more exposed coasts (cf. A3.11).
