- 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

Other Site Characteristics
Se trata de un complejo formado por cinco lagunas situados en una meseta, donde la principal es la Laguna de Murtales (12 ha.), con aguas casi permanentes, ubicada en el término de La Roca de La Sierra, y rodeada en la actualidad por eucaliptos, que en algunos puntos quedan inundados; son utilizados por la avifauna pra refugiarse, como zona de dormidero y zona de cria. Esta Laguna es de origen natural (estanque temporal mediterráneo), aunque fue transformada hace más de 4 décadas mediante un realce de su perímetro, de manera que se evita su temporalidad, manteniendo normalmente con agua durante todo el año. Esta laguna se utilizaba hace muchos años para regar plantaciones de higueras que existían en las fincas aledañas, como se puede comprobar, con la existencia de instalaciones y canales de riegos obsoletos.Las otras cuatro lagunas se encuentran en el término de Mérida y son totalmente naturales y temporales, siendo de mayor a menor capacidad: Laguna de Barberos I (7,1 ha), Laguna de Barberos IV (5,6 ha.), Laguna de la Cilindra o de La Muchacha (2,7 ha) y Laguna de Barberos II (2,3 ha.)El mantenimiento del agua en la Laguna de Murtales durante todo el año, garantiza la presencia de especies de aves, anfibios, reptiles y mamíferos en la misma. Por otro lado, el resto de lagunas que conservan su temporalidad son muy importantes para especies tan curiosas como el Notostráceo Triops cancriformis.Algunas lagunas situadas en mesetas cercanas (como es la "laguna del cura" en La Nava de Santiago) conservan parte de la vegetación autóctona en sus orillas, formada por piruétanos, tamujo y mirto. Las formaciones de mirto se les denomina vulgarmente "murtales", de ahi probablemente venga el nombre de la Laguna de Murtales. |
4.2 Quality and importance
Espacio definido por la presencia de 2 hábitats recogidos en el Anexo I de la Directiva: los estanques temporales mediterráneos y las zonas subestépicas de gramíneas. Ambos hábitas se consideran prioritarios por la Directiva. Los estanques temporales mediterráneos están claramente representados con las Lagunas de "Barberos I, II y IV" y la Laguna de "La Cilindra o de la Muchacha". Todas las lagunas se encuntran en un entorno estepárico.Además nos encontramos con al menos 5 taxones del Anexo II de la Directiva, como son Mauremys leprosa, Discoglossus galganoi, Lythrum flexuosum, Euphydryas aurinia y Barbus comizo. Esta área es una importante área de invernada para las acuaticas, por lo que durante el invierno se pueden observar grandes grupos mixtos de Anas crecca, Anas platyrhynchos, Anas strepera, Podiceps cristatus y Tachybaptus ruficollis. También se observan al menos otros 22 taxones: 3 de anfibios, 8 de aves, 3 de invertebrados incluyendo el raro Triops emeritensis, 3 de reptiles, 3 de plantas y 2 mamíferos. |
