Zostera marina Submersed Temperate Vegetation Macrogroup | NatureServe Biotics 2019
click to update datacart
Name: Zostera marina Submersed Temperate Vegetation Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This macrogroup encompasses submersed herbaceous vegetation which occurs in the world's temperate coastal waters. <i>Zostera marina</i> is dominant and occurs in nearly pure stands, which are rooted in the substrate in shallow brackish to oligohaline waters. The depth of the beds is determined by low tide level at the upper end and light penetration at the lower end, the latter being a function of water depth and turbidity. This vegetation is threatened by eutrophication, turbidity, and dredging.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40542-{6750A258-CC3A-4991-96E3-99D21F8183EA} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
