Other Site Characteristics

The singnificant areas occupied by forest monoculture are mainly of Pinus nigra, but also of Quercus rubra, Quercus suber, Robinia pseudoacacia, Castanea sativa, etc.

4.2 Quality and importance

Vajen Svarzvast koridor. Goliam minus e lipsata na vrazka mejdu mnogo ot chastite mu. Within the site significant areas of forest ecosystems are included. Forest monoculture is with acceptable coverage of 10.6 per cent. Excluding some insignificant coverage of shruby communities, the rest of the forestry fund is presented by by xerophile and mesophile broadleaved woods with quite variable dominants. Five habitats of conservation priority are presented within the site's borders, consisting somewhat 22.6% of the territory. The oriental beech forests cover 7.6 % and are characterized by their good representativity and relatively good conservation status. The Pannonian-Balkanic turkey oak-sessile oak forests are the best presented priority habitat in the site (13.1 %). They are with relatively good representativity, good to mediium preserved structure and functions and relatively good or acceptable perspectives if their current use remains unchaged. In some parts of the site (e.g. nearly Ticha Dam and also in Nesebar Forestry Department) in the past and nowadays being under strong pressure this type of forests are fragmented, sometimes with quite visible degradation processes, and even in places completely changed by secondary forests dominated by oriental hornbeam. Their recovery in these places is possible by forestry activities that will support the natural biocenotic evolution. Anyway, even there mosaic occurence of habitats of conservation priority is available, and they are mixed with other forests, thus being an important factor for the existence and conservation of rich biodiversity. The Pannonic woods with Quercus petraea and Carpinus betulus cover approximately 1.5% within the site; significant coverage they have in Smyadovo and Staro Oryahovo Forestry Departments. The eastern white oak forests are nearly 0.4% of the territory; most of them are in Nesebar Forestry Department. They form complexes with the Pannonian-Balkanic turkey oak-sessile oak forests and with the forests of oriental hornbeam, thus being of special interest, supporting the existence of rich animal and fungal diversity. The Moesian silver lime forests and the Seminatural dry grasslands (6210) cover insignificant areas. Most of the grasslands are however disturbed by agricultural activies.
