English: sublittoral macrophyte-dominated communities on sediment
Welsh: cymunedau isforlannol ar waddod lle mae macroffytau yn drech
Subject: Amgylchedd
Welsh definition: Sediment habitats in the sublittoral near shore zone (i.e. covering the infralittoral and circalittoral zones), typically extending from the extreme lower shore down to the edge of the bathyal zone (200m). This complex includes maerl beds, seaweed dominated mixed sediments (including kelps such as Laminaria saccharina and filamentous/foliose red and green algae), seagrass beds, and lagoonal angiosperm communities.
Notes: Term o system ddosbarthu EUNIS o gynefinoedd morol. SS.SMp. yw’r Cod Cynefin. Mae’r Cyd-bwyllgor Cadwraeth Natur yn defnyddio system arall o gategoreiddio cynefinoedd morol, yn seiliedig ar system ddosbarthu EUNIS. Yn y drefn honno “subtidal seaweed dominated communities on sediment” yw’r term cyfatebol.
