For example the area of the Gorringe Bank (minimum depth less than 50 m) in front to the Strait of Gibraltar is characterised by a dense assemblage of Paramuricea clavata and, on its upper portion, by a dense meadow of Laminaria ochroleuca De La Pylaie, 1824 [44].
The P. oceanica meadow of the Revellata Bay at 10 m depth is to be considered a dense meadow according to [ 13].
The total biomass ranged from 16 to 715 g dw m-2, with the densest meadows in the Kattegat/Belt Sea area).
And when the barrage lifts and the whistles blow for the attack to begin and they leave the shelter of the trench to walk across the dense, untended meadows of the Somme valley, we should feel that we have come to know them -- and the messy, desperate fates awaiting these particular young men would stand as symbols for the grotesque and enormous massacre that actually took place.
"WWF is calling on the UK Government to ensure seagrass is properly protected in effective Marine Protected Areas, where disturbance and pollution are minimised". Seagrass is a group of flowering plants that live in shallow sheltered areas along the UK coastline where they form dense green meadows under the sea.
It is widely distributed and habitat forming, often growing intermixed with other species and sometimes in dense, monospecific meadows (Green and Short, 2003).
The taller and denser canopies (Meadows 2006; Mozdzer and Zieman 2010; Mozdzer and Megonigal 2012) and thick litter layer (Holdredge and Bertness 2011) in stands of the introduced lineage cumulatively result in reduced light availability.
Additionally, L. leucocephala is one of the few tree species well adapted to colonize areas occupied by dense tall-grass meadows (e.g., Megathyrsus maximus) (Parrotta 2000).
It's the opportunity to experience spectacular nature glaciers, tall forests, meadows dense with purple lupine, mountain lakes, peak after peak after peak as far as the eye can see and a beguiling old-world culture that makes you more than comfortable by night.
Historical records indicate that dense Z. marina meadows commonly occurred down to 8 10 m (maximum 17 m) depth (Reinke, 1889), while the present depth distribution is typically 4 5 m (Meyer and Nehring, 2006; Selig et al., 2007).
