The concept of biotope in marine ecology and coastal management
چکیده انگلیسی

The term “biotope” was introduced by a German scientist, Dahl in 1908 as an addition to the concept of “biocenosis” earlier formulated by Möbius (1877). Initially it determined the physical–chemical conditions of existence of a biocenosis (“the biotope of a biocenosis”). Further, both biotope and biocenosis were respectively considered as abiotic and biotic parts of an ecosystem. This notion (“ecosystem = biotope + biocenosis”) became accepted in German, French, Russian and other European “continental” ecological literature. The new interpretation of the term (“biotope = habitat + community”) appeared in the United Kingdom in the early 1990s while classifying “marine habitats” of the coastal zone. Since then, this meaning was also used in international European environmental documents. This paper examines the evolution of the biotope notion. It is concluded that the contemporary concept is robust and may be used not only for the classification and mapping but also for functional marine ecology and coastal zone management.
