Other Site Characteristics

The site Kokkinokremmos is located northwest of Lemesos town (about 20 km) and extends along Shabanis river (the upper part of Paramali river), which is a deep river with precipitous sides, consisting of marly-chalks (Pachna Formation). Almost 95% of the site is covered by Mediterranean shrub formations (habitat types 9320 and 5330). Sclerophyllous maquis (habitat type 9320) and Genista fasselata scrub (habitat type 5330) dominate on the steep slopes. Habitat type 9320 is characterized by Pistacia lentiscus, Olea europaea, Rhamnus lycioides subsp. graeca, Ceratonia siliqua, Rhamnus alaternus, Quercus coccifera subsp. calliprinos (especially near the riverbed), Prasium majus, Myrtus communis and Acanthoprasium integrifolium. Salix alba galleries (habitat type 92A0) and Platanus orientalis woods (habitat type 92C0) occur along the riverbed, while small stands of Pinus brutia (habitat type 9540) and a single patch of Cupressus sempervirens (habitat type 9540) are scatted in the site. Chasmophytic vegetation (8210) with Ptilostemon camaepeuce subsp. cyprium, Capparis spinosa and Asplenium ceterach colonise the hard, calcareous cliffs.

4.2 Quality and importance

The most important elements of the ecological value and importance of the site are: (1) The presence of seven Annex I habitat types, especially the sclerophyllous maquis which are of very good quality and provide nesting and feeding habitat for many bird and other animal species; (2) the presence of Phlomis brevibracteata (Annex II) and 39 bird species (Annex I Birds Directive); (3) the flora of the area, which includes 15 endemic species and subspecies (motivation B) and one near-endemic (motivation D).
