| Definitions |
The stability of the substrate is a strong determinant of the suitability of an area for colonization by sessile organisms, and for feeding or burrowing activities by benthic epifauna and infauna. The Induration Modifier can be used to describe the hardness or amount of consolidation of bottom sediments (Substrate Component units). Induration is often measured with acoustic tools. The following categories are adopted from Greene et al. (2007). |
