Concept: Coastal saltmarshes and saline reedbeds in the eunishabitats vocabulary

Concept URI	http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/eunishabitats/A2.5
Preferred label	Coastal saltmarshes and saline reedbeds
Definition	Angiosperm-dominated stands of vegetation, occurring on the extreme upper shore of sheltered coasts and periodically covered by high tides. The vegetation develops on a variety of sandy and muddy sediment types and may have admixtures of coarser material. The character of the saltmarsh communities is affected by height up the shore, resulting in a zonation pattern related to the degree or frequency of immersion in seawater.
