Article Synopsis
- A study highlights the importance of coralligenous habitats in the Mediterranean Sea and their ecological role, spurred by European directives and research initiatives.
- Researchers surveyed 13 locations along the Italian coast using video-transect techniques to analyze the biological structure of coralligenous assemblages and assess their health based on three-dimensional complexity.
- The study introduced the concept of Structural Descriptors, focusing on sensitive taxa to evaluate the complexity and health of coralligenous habitats, while also considering factors like biodiversity, fishing impacts, and thermal stress.
