Name: Temperate Pacific Seaweed Intertidal Vegetation Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This macrogroup consists of algal communities on coastal flats and intertidal rocky zones found along the north Pacific coast from Kodiak Island and Cook Inlet, Alaska, south to central California. Algae are the dominant vegetation on mud or gravel flats where little vascular vegetation is present due to the daily (in some cases twice daily) tidal flooding of salt or brackish water. Dominant species include <i>Enteromorpha</i> spp., <i>Fucus distichus, Postelsia palmiformis</i>, and <i>Vaucheria longicaulis</i>. Habitats are tidal flats of mud or gravel, rocky intertidal pools and reefs. These habitats are exposed and inundated daily and sometimes twice daily.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40508-{F42AE49E-53B8-45B4-8CE5-A58911F60466} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
