Other Site Characteristics

The bigger part of the river is diked. The site includes several ponds, old river-beds and pastures along the river. The "Elaka" place is a preserved locality of the target species Liparis loeselii and Dactylorhiza kalopissii, as well as refugium of hydrophilic vegetation: floodplain forests, meadows and alkaline marshes - habitat types 91E0 * Alluvial forests with Alnus glutinosa and Fraxinus excelsior (Alno-Padion, Alnion incanae, Salicion albae); 6510 Lowland hay meadows (Alopecurus pratensis, Sanguisorba officinalis); 6410 Molinia meadows on calcareous, peaty or clavey-silt-laden soils (Molinion caeruleae); 7230 Alkaline fens.

4.2 Quality and importance

The data on wintering Phalacrocorax pygmeus dates back to 1999, after that the roosting site in the town of Jambol doesn't exist. The species enlisted as 'Other species-D' are included in Annex III of the Bulgarian Biodiversity Act as protected species.
