- 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 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). |
