merileväyhteisöjen
Merileväyhteisöt, or seaweed communities, refer to the assemblages of macroscopic algae that inhabit marine coastal environments. These communities are a fundamental component of shallow marine ecosystems, providing habitat, food, and shelter for a vast array of marine organisms. They are typically found in the intertidal zone, where they are exposed to air during low tide and submerged during high tide, as well as in subtidal areas.
The structure and diversity of merileväyhteisöt are heavily influenced by environmental factors such as light availability,
These communities play crucial roles in the marine environment. They are primary producers, converting sunlight into
