  • 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)

  • 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)

0

Other Site Characteristics

El área comprende en su mitad Oeste varios llanos (de norte a sur: El Diviso, El Escaque, Llanos de Medina, Mafasca y LLanos de los Alares) que se prolongan hacia el este a través de valles abiertos (Valle Hondo, Barranco de la Boca, Barranco de Antigua-Barranco de la Torre y Barranco de la Boca de Pozo Negro). Separando a estos barrancos se localizan los cuchillos (formaciones montañosas lineales de cumbre plana, generalmente pertenecientes al promer ciclo volcánico - Mioceno - formada por la acumulación de piroclastos y coladas basálticas) que incluyen Rosa del Taro, Montaña del Sombrero, Cuchillete de Buenavista, Macizo del Agudo y más al interior Morro de los Halcones. Las llanuras predegosas fueron cubiertas por coladas y piroclastos basálticos del segundo ciclo (Plioceno-Cuaternario) y han sido profusamente erosionadas. Los usos del territorio han sido tradicionalmente los ganaderos y los agrícolas. El pastoreo ha sido la actividad más relevante y que más incidencia sobre el territorio ha tenido. En el seno del área se encuentran núcleos de población como Las Pocetas, Casas de Majada Blanca y Casas del Cortijo.

4.2 Quality and importance

La calidad del territorio viene definida por la presencia de ambientes esteparios localizados en los llanos interiores, terrosos-pedregosos, donde es posible encontrar matorrales de matos y aulagas (formados por especies de los géneros Salsola, Launaea, Suaeda y Lycium) donde se encuentran poblaciones sendentarias de hubara canaria y otras aves esteparias. En los cuchillos, en la mitad oriental de la ZEPA se encuentran algunas parejas de guirre. También se encuentra una población de Cuernúa. El estado de conservación es aceptable, debido a los que los usos tradicionales, principalmente el pastoreo, están disminuyendo en el área y se aprecia una recuperación lenta del territorio.
