Baltic infralittoral mixed sediment dominated by erect Bryozoa

Baltic bottoms in the photic zone with 10- 90 % coverage of hard (rock/boulders/stone) and 10-90 % soft substrata (e.g. muddy/coarse sediment/sand). Epibenthic Bryozoa cover at least 10%of the seabed and more than other perennial attached erect groups. Out of the epibenthic Bryozoa, erect Bryozoa constitute at least 50 % of the biomass.$$$Physical environment $$$Substrate is soft or crystalline rock, boulders or stones mixed with mobile substrates such as sand or coarse substrate. $$$Characteristic species $$$Flustra foliacea$$$Geographic range $$$Southern Baltic Sea
