- 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)

Other Site Characteristics
| El lomo del Carretón constituye una faja acantilada de coladas horizontales, que discurre entre los 450 m y los 850 m de altura, desde las estribaciones del macizo de La Mérica, hasta cerca de Epina. Supuestamente, estos basaltos pertenecen a las coladas que rellenaron la gigantesca depresión que en otro tiempo ocupó el centro de La Gomera.
Entre los cortados escarpes sobresale una flora riquísima, con una gran concentración de endemismos (Pimpinella junoniae, Sideritis nutans, etc), donde no faltan especies amenazadas y protegidas como la tabaiba Euphorbia lambii y el cardoncillo (Ceropegia ceratophora). La vegetación más conspicua se compone de especies mayores como el barbuzano negro (Apollonias barbujana ceballosi), el marmulano (Sideroxylon marmulano) y el madroño (Arbutus canariensis), junto a pequeños pinares (Pinus halepensis y P. radiata), resultado de antiguas repoblaciones.
El carácter acantilado de este espacio determina que apenas haya usos en su interior. En su extremo meridional se encuentra la ermita del Monte Santo, a la cual se accede por un sendero en buen estado que parte desde Arure y recorre el acantilado. Cerca del límite inferior, próximo a la población de Taguluche, hay algunas construcciones y bancales, y en las zonas de menor pendiente se practica algo de pastoreo. La abrupta orografía de este espacio no ha impedido que sea atravesado en varios lugares por senderos que asicenden desde Taguluche y Alojera. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| Franja de terreno acantilada de gran valor paisajístico que constituye el referente escénico de las poblaciones de Taguluche y Alojera, posee gran monumentalidad e interés geológico y geomorfólogico. Su riqueza florística y el conformar una excelente muestra de hábitats rupícolas le confiere además valor científico añadido. Comprende también especies amenazadas y protegidas como Euphorbia lambii o Ceropegia ceratophora. |
