- 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

- 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
| The geological substratum consists of acid igneous rocks (granites, granodiorites, monzonites). It is a mountainous site covered by acidophilous forests consisting of Betula pendula, Pinus sylvestris and Picea abies. Birch and Scots pine are the dominant species. Other tree species are: Fagus sp., Quercus sp., Alnus glutinosa, Corylus avellana and Populus sp. All these species form pure and mixed stands and, as result, a number of 24 different stand types occur in this site, according to the site quality and competition among the tree species. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| In the area, there is the unique birch forest (Betula pendula) in Greece. Western Greek Rodopi is the southern limit of horizontal distribution of Picea abies while, Northern Greece is the southern limit of horizontal distribution of Pinus sylvestris and Betula pendula in Europe. Concerning the fauna the quality of the site is indicated by the occurrence of the invertebrate Pontia chloridice, the invertebrate Erebia ligea, and the invertebrate Apatura iris which are referred to the Presidential Decree 67/1981. The invertebrate Carterocephalus palaemon, the invertebrate Minois dryas which are the southern edge of extension, Thecla betulae which are referred to Heath J. 1981. Threatened Rhopalocera (butterflies) of Europe. Council of Europe, the invertebrate Plebejus pylaon which is referred to Koomen P., van Helsdingen P.J. 1993. Listing of biotopes in Europe according to their significance for invertebrates. Council of Europe and the invertebrate Maculinea alcon which is referred to IUCN Conservation Monitoring Centre 1988. 1988 IUCN Red List of threatened Animals.Concerning the wild growning plants the quality of the site is indicated by the occurrence of other important taxa. Among them, 3 taxa are greek endemics, 1 taxa (Viola stojanowii) are included in the WCMC and/or European Red Data list, 4 taxa (Gentiana cruciata, Lilium martagon, Picea abies ssp. abies, Sambucus racemosa) are protected by the Greek Presidental Decree (67/1981) and 2 taxa are Balkan endemics. There have also been recorded 4 species of reptiles and 3 amphibian species not listed in Annex II. |
