Submarine forest

Japanese: submarine forest(英語表記)submarineforest
Submarine forest

...The individual tree trunks that make up a fossil forest are generally silicified wood. The term submerged forest (or submarine forest) is sometimes used, but if this refers to a forest from the geological era, this buried forest is a fossil forest. If a very recent forest has sunk to the bottom of a lake or ocean due to rising lake or sea levels (or land subsidence), it is simply called a buried forest, not a fossil forest. ...

From [Seaweed Bed]

…A colony of the flowering plant eelgrass is called a Zostera bed, and a colony of the brown algae Sargassum is called a Sargassum bed. Large colonies of Eisenia bicolor, Ecklonia cava, and kelp also form, and these are called submarine forests. Other terms that are used include Eisenia bicolor bed, Ulva bed, and Gelidium bed.
