Temperate Pacific Seagrass Intertidal Vegetation Macrogroup | NatureServe Biotics 2019
click to update datacart
Name: Temperate Pacific Seagrass Intertidal Vegetation Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This macrogroup consists of marine near-shore intertidal beds dominated by macrophytic algae and marine aquatic angiosperms. Beds are dominated by <i>Zostera marina</i> and <i>Phyllospadix scouleri</i>. Algae consists of <i>Fucus distichus, Postelsia palmiformis</i>, and other green and brown algae species. Common substrates include marine silts, but may also include exposed bedrock and cobble, where many algal species become attached with holdfasts. Stands occur in the subtidal/lower intertidal where the water is clear most of the time to allow for photosynthesis. They occur throughout intertidal zones with clear water along the temperate North American Pacific Coast, from Baja California north to Bristol Bay, Alaska. Stands occur in subtidal zones that are never exposed, as well as intertidal zones exposed to air.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40543-{CBC13B7B-24C6-4B2C-A0F5-34C7A490F2F3} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
