Concept: Mediterranean communities of mediolittoral coarse detritic bottoms in the eunishabitats vocabulary

Concept URI	http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/eunishabitats/A2.13
Preferred label	Mediterranean communities of mediolittoral coarse detritic bottoms
Definition	These biocenoses consist mainly of detritus-feeding species which draw their nourishment from decaying vegetation and miscellaneous debris caught up in the shingle. It is characterised by two crustaceans, the amphipod [Gammarus olivii] and the isopod [Sphaeroma serratum]. These communities are exposed to alternating water submersion and emersion because of variations in the water level, and they are frequently moistened by wavelets.
