LR.MLR.BF.Fser.Bo Fucus serratus and under-boulder fauna on exposed to moderately exposed lower eulittoral boulders
Published date 2015-03Exposed to moderalety exposed lower eulittoral boulders with the wrack Fucus serratus community of a high species richness as the presence of the boulders increases the micro-habitat diversity. The up...
LR.LLR.F.Fspi.FS Fucus spiralis on full salinity sheltered upper eulittoral rock
Published date 2015-03Sheltered upper eulittoral bedrock characterised by a band of the spiral wrack Fucus spiralis overlying the black lichen Verrucaria maura and the olive green lichen Verrucaria mucosa. Underneath the f...
