littoraalivyöhyke
Littoraalivyöhyke, also known as the littoral zone, is the ecological region of a shore or shoreline. It is the area that is between the high-tide mark and the lowest tide mark. This zone is characterized by fluctuating water levels, exposure to air during low tide, and submersion during high tide. Organisms living in the littoral zone must be adapted to these harsh and dynamic conditions, including changes in salinity, temperature, and wave action.
The littoral zone can be further divided into different sub-zones based on the duration of submersion and
This zone is highly productive and supports a diverse array of life. In marine environments, it is
