| Definition | Sheltered, tide-swept, rock with dense Laminaria saccharina forest and an under-storey (sometimes sparse) of foliose seaweeds such as Plocamium cartilagineum, Brongniartella byssoides, Ceramium nodulosum, Lomentaria clavellosa and Cryptopleura ramosa. On the rock surface, a rich fauna comprising sponges (particularly Halichondria panicea) anemones (such as Urticina felina), colonial ascidians (Botryllus schlosseri) and the bryozoan Alcyonidium diaphanum. Areas that are scoured by sand or shell gravel may have a less rich fauna beneath the kelp, with the rock surface characterised by encrusting coralline algae, Balanus crenatus or Pomatoceros triqueter. Good examples of this biotope may have maerl gravel or rhodoliths between cobbles and boulders. | |
