P3a Brackish-water vegetation
This habitat includes the submerged vegetation of both coastal and inland brackish, saline or hypersaline lakes, ponds, pools and Mediterranean saline streams. In coastal areas, it develops due to the effect of seawater, whereas in the inland areas, it occurs in dry lowlands of the steppe and forest-steppe regions and some Mediterranean areas. Salinity varies according to rainfall, evaporation and the type of substrate.
