3.1 Habitat types present on the site and assessment for them

Annex I Habitat types						Site assessment
Code	PF	NP	Cover [ha]	Cave [number]	Data quality	A|B|C|D	A|B|C
						Representativity	Relative Surface	Conservation	Global
8310			0.44	0.00	G	B	C	B	B
92A0			4.17	0.00	G	B	C	B	B
9340			0.12	0.00	G	C	C	B	C

• 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

Species					Population in the site						Site assessment
G	Code	Scientific Name	S	NP	T	Size		Unit	Cat.	D.qual.	A|B|C|D	A|B|C
						Min	Max				Pop.	Con.	Iso.	Glo.
M	1310	Miniopterus schreibersii			c	0	73	i	P	G	C	B	C	B
M	1316	Myotis capaccinii			r	0	60	i		G	C	C	C	C

• 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)

Other Site Characteristics

La grotte du Trésor à Lamalou est située à flanc du versant de la montagne de Capimont, en rive droite de l'Orb. Elle constitue un gîte très important pour la reproduction du Minioptère de Schreibers. Le périmètre intègre par ailleurs des habitats potentiellement favorables à l'alimentation des chauves-souris. La grotte est à ce jour assez peu connue des spéléologues ; par contre, sa situation à proximité des bourgs importants du nord-ouest de l'Hérault ( Bédarieux, notamment) et de la zone thermale de Lamalou-les-Bains peut engendrer à terme une fréquentation incontrôlée qu'il conviendra de maîtriser.

4.2 Quality and importance

L'importance de la grotte du Trésor dans le complexe de cavités du Haut Languedoc a été mise en évidence très récemment, ce qui explique que, contrairement à d'autres sites voisins, elle n'ait pas été identifiée lors des inventaires initiaux. C'est un site majeur pour la reproduction du Minioptère de Schreibers dans ce secteur du haut Languedoc.
