Psammon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psammon (from Greek "psammos", "sand"[1] ) is an ecological community of organisms inhabiting coastal sand. It consists of biota buried in moist sediments.[2] Psammon is also sometimes considered a part of benthos due to its near-bottom distribution.[3] Psammon term is commonly used to refer to freshwater reservoirs such as lakes.[2] [4]
