Concept: [Fucus serratus] on sheltered lower eulittoral rock in the eunishabitats vocabulary

Concept URI	http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/eunishabitats/A1.315
Preferred label	[Fucus serratus] on sheltered lower eulittoral rock
Definition	Sheltered to extremely sheltered lower eulittoral rock with [Fucus serratus] (for detailed description of the rich associated community please see Fserr.FS). Two variants of this biotope have been described. Fully marine conditions (Fserr.FS) and mixed substrata (Fserr.X). Please notice that three other biotopes with a [F. serratus] dominance have been described: Variable salinity (FserVS), tide-swept (FserT) and tide-swept on mixed substrata (FserXT). Situation: This biotope usually occurs immediately below a dense canopy of [Fucus vesiculosus] (Fves) on sheltered shores or an [Ascophyllum nodosum] zone (Asc.FS) on sheltered shores; consequently low densities of these species may occur in this biotope. The sublittoral fringe below is dominated by the kelps [Laminaria saccharina] and [Laminaria digitata] on sheltered shores (Lsac.Ldig; Lsac.Ft).
