Other Site Characteristics

Terrasse alluviale au substrat relativement tendre, perméable et favorable à l'érosion. Ces alluvions correspondent à deux époques géologiques : le socle du plateau est un immense cône de déjection (marnes, graviers, galets) de la fin du crétacé et du début du tertiaire, surmonté par d'épaisses couches de conglomérats (poudingues) de la fin de l'ère tertiaire. Le climat, aride, est caractérisé par un déficit hydrique estival, un fort ensoleillement, des gelées printanières et des vents violents. La principale problématique concerne la disparition des gîtes favorables aux chauves-souris, notamment au Petit Rhinolophe, par manque d'entretien (ruines) ou par obstruction des ouvertures de bâtiments. Le maintien et l'entretien du bocage et de ses réseaux de haies est également primordial.

4.2 Quality and importance

Le site de Valensole (plateau et alentours) est particulièrement remarquable par la présence de 16 espèces de chauves-souris, dont 8 sont inscrites en annexe II de la Directive " Habitats ". Le plateau présente un paysage agricole très ouvert, devenant plus bocager à proximité des vallons formés par le Colostre et ses affluents. Les versants sont principalement constitués de boisements de chênes et de pins, entrecoupés de clairières. Les secteurs bocagers sont émaillés d'un important réseau de haies, particulièrement favorable aux chauves-souris. Le secteur de Valensole constitue un site exceptionnel pour la conservation du Petit Rhinolophe. C'est l'un des trois secteurs les plus importants de la région PACA. En effet, on y compte 50 colonies de reproduction, réparties dans les habitations et dans des cabanons agricoles. L'effectif de la population reproductrice pour ce secteur est évalué à près de 1000 individus. De même, 8 gîtes (d'hibernation, d'estivage ou de transit) utilisés par les petits rhinolophes sont recensés en plus des gîtes de reproduction.
