4. SITE DESCRIPTION

4.1 General site character

Habitat class	% Cover
N08	65.00
N09	35.00
Total Habitat Cover	100

Other Site Characteristics

The site is located in Mesaoria plain, about 12 km west of Nicosia. Within the site two habitat types were evidenced:Phrygana formations (Habitat type 5420), which cover most of the site area. The dominant species in these areas is either Thymus capitatus or Sarcopoterium spinosum. Other common taxa are Asphodelus aestivus, Fumana thymifolia, Helianthemum obtusifolium, Onosma fruticosa, Phagnalon rupestre ssp. rupestre, Noaea mucronata and Teucrium micropodioides. A great number of other taxa - especially herbaceous - grow within the above habitat type.Xerophilous grasslands, rich in therophytes and perennial grasses (habitat type 6220), grow amongst phrygana. The most common species of this habitat are Aegilops sp., Atractylis cancellata, Briza maxima Bromus spp, Crupina crupinastrum, Hedypnois rhagadioloides, Helianthemum salicifolium, Hyparrhenia hirta, Linum strictum, Ornithogalum narbonense, Silene sp., Stipa barbata and Stipa capensis. Xerophilous grasslands mostly occupy areas where the substrate is kafkalla (the hard ground surface, which is the result of carbonic calcium accumulation, after water evaporation). At the northern part of the site, there is a zone of calcareous cliffs which is covered by phrygana vegetation as well as chasmophytes such as Ainswothia trachycarpa, Cheilanthes pteridioides, Ephedra fragilis ssp. campylopoda, Reseda lutea, Reseda orientalis and Umbilicus rupestris. However they do not form characteristic chasmophytic vegetation due to their sparse distribution.As far as geology is concerned, the dominant geological formations of the area are "Apalos-Athalassa-Kakkaristra" (Biocalcarinites, sandstones, sandy marls and conclomerates) and "Nicosia" (Biocalcarinites, sandstones, silts, gravels, sandy marls, marls, limestones and conclomerates).

4.2 Quality and importance

The ecological quality and importance of the site derive from the following elements:- The well-conserved habitat types of the area including one of the most representative and well-conserved phrygana habitats in Cyprus.- Although the site is small, a total of more than 250 plant taxa are found it (Kadis & Christodoulou, personal observations). This means a high "alpha" plant diversity (the number of plant species in a particular habitat) within phrygana formations. - Nine plants endemic to Cyprus have been found in the area: Anthemis tricolor, Astragalus cyprius, Carlina involucrata ssp. cyprica, Helianthemum obtusifolium, Hypericum repens, Onobrychis venosa, Onopordum cyprium, Onosma fruticosa and Teucrium micropodioides. The presence of a very rare and probably endemic variety, Helianthemum salicifolium var. glabrum, within the area, should be noted. The taxon is found only in a few locations in Cyprus and according to Meikle (1977) it is so distinct from the typical species that requires taxonomic recognition. The taxon is included in the list of rare and threatened plants of Cyprus prepared by the World Conservation Monitoring Centre, in the category "Indeterminate". - The calcareous steep cliffs, are favourable nesting places of many fauna species, including the fox (Vulpes vulpes) and around 60 bird species (e.g. the raptors Falco tinnunculus and Tyto alba and the endemic species Oenanthe cypriaca) and some reptiles.- Three Annex II bat species live in the site. The Annex II butterfly Calllimorpha quadripunctaria is very rare in the site.Other important species with motivation DThe plant species Ornithogalum trichophyllum is rare in Cyprus, according to the bibliography.Acmaeodera quadrizonata is in Cyprus at the margins of its area of distribution. Lycaena thersamon is a threatened taxon according to Heath (1981). Empusa fasciata is an important (Koomen & van Helsdinger, 1996) and threatened taxon listed on the European Red List of Globally Threatened Animals and Plants. Libelloides macaronius is an important (Koomen & van Helsdinger, 1996) and threatened taxon listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals (1988) and on the European Red List of Globally Threatened Animals and Plants. Pendoton bidens sulcifrons, Acmaeodera guillebeaui, Stenosis sulcata are subendemic taxa (endemic to Cyprus and neighbouring countries).Notes: The snake Macrovipera lebetina lebetina is included in section 3.3 as Vipera lebetina.
