- PF: for the habitat types that can have a non-priority as well as a priority form (6210, 7130, 9430) enter "X" in the column PF to indicate the priority form.
- NP: in case that a habitat type no longer exists in the site enter: x (optional)
- Cover: decimal values can be entered
- Caves: for habitat types 8310, 8330 (caves) enter the number of caves if estimated surface is not available.
- 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)
3.2 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 SCI includes valleys of rivers Bebresh and Mali Iskar and well preserved areas with broadleaved forests on their slopes. Both rivers are preserved in their natural condition and densely overgrown with riparian vegetation. Oak, hornbeam and beech forests are important habitat to rare species. Karst relief with exposed rocks and caves are found close to Bozhenitsa village. |
4.2 Quality and importance
Malak Iskar River and its tributary Bebresh are preserved in their natural or semi-natural condition. The rivers are following their natural riverbeds and the territories of their riparian terraces are slightly fragmented. The riparian forests of Alnus glutinosa and Salix sp. (Habitat 91E0) are preserved in excellent condition.
The ichtiofauna is distinguishly rich - 14 species, 5 of which are included in Annex II of Directive 92/43/EEC. This makes pSCI "Bebresh" one of the most valuable for protecting the ichtiofauna.
16 species of herpetofauna are found here - 7 amphibians and 9 reptiles. 3 of them are included in Annex II of Directive 92/43/EEC (2 amphibians and 1 reptile).
The rich ichtiofauna and the presence of Austropotamobius torrentium are important for the stable Otter (Lutra lutra) population as food resource. |
