Back to top3.2 Species referred to in Article 4 of Directive 2009/147/EC and listed in Annex II of Directive 92/43/EEC and site evaluation for them
- Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, I = Invertebrates, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
- S: in case that the data on species are sensitive and therefore have to be blocked for any public access enter: yes
- NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
- Type: p = permanent, r = reproducing, c = concentration, w = wintering (for plant and non-migratory species use permanent)
- Unit: i = individuals, p = pairs or other units according to the Standard list of population units and codes in accordance with Article 12 and 17 reporting (see reference portal)
- Abundance categories (Cat.): C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present - to fill if data are deficient (DD) or in addition to population size information
- Data quality: G = 'Good' (e.g. based on surveys); M = 'Moderate' (e.g. based on partial data with some extrapolation); P = 'Poor' (e.g. rough estimation); VP = 'Very poor' (use this category only, if not even a rough estimation of the population size can be made, in this case the fields for population size can remain empty, but the field "Abundance categories" has to be filled in)
3.3 Other important species of flora and fauna (optional)
- Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, Fu = Fungi, I = Invertebrates, L = Lichens, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
- CODE: for Birds, Annex IV and V species the code as provided in the reference portal should be used in addition to the scientific name
- S: in case that the data on species are sensitive and therefore have to be blocked for any public access enter: yes
- NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
- Unit: i = individuals, p = pairs or other units according to the standard list of population units and codes in accordance with Article 12 and 17 reporting, (see reference portal)
- Cat.: Abundance categories: C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present
- Motivation categories: IV, V: Annex Species (Habitats Directive), A: National Red List data; B: Endemics; C: International Conventions; D: other reasons

Other Site Characteristics
The PERIOCHI KOILADAS XYLOURIKOU is an area which combines a mountainous area with valley like habitat as well as a riverine habitat. The dominant plant community of the area is maquis (Pistacia terebinthus, P. lentiscus, Rhamnus oleoides with Cistus spp. as well as Genista sphacelata, Calycotome villosa. There is also scattered pine forested areas (Pinus brutia) with an understorey of maquis as well as scattered wild olive trees (Olea europaea).In some parts of the area some low intense agriculture is found mainly apple, peach and other deciduous tree cultivations. In the river-bed of the valley there are some patches of Alnus orientalis and Platanus orientalis along with Myrtus communis and other aquatic plants. |
4.2 Quality and importance
The site of Koilada Xyloyrikou supports one of the largest breeding numbers of Annex I species nightjar (Caprimulgus europeaus), Cretzschmars bunding (Emberiza caesia), the endemic Cyprus wheatear (Oenanthe cypriaca), the masked shrike (Lanius nubicus), and the woodlark (Lullula arborea). Also this site offers good open habitats which are important for feeding of big birds of prey like the Bonellis eagle (Hieraaetus fasciatus) and long-legged buzzard (Buteo rufinus). |
