| Definition | In coastal areas, the eulittoral or intertidal zone stretches from the low tide line to the high tide water line. It is subjected to constant change between being submerged and uncovered from water by the tides. Connected to inland water bodies it is the river bank or lakeside where waves constantly run ashore. Due to its high erosive and/or sedimentary dynamics, plants usually are not able to take roots. |
