• 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)

4.1 General site character

Habitat class	% Cover
N08	35.90
N09	6.58
N12	9.13
N15	0.03
N16	38.10
N21	9.13

Total Habitat Cover	100

Other Site Characteristics

The area includes Mt Pangaion, part of Mt Symvolon and the plain between these two mountains. Young Beech forests, old Oak woodland, conifer plantations, mixed and broad-leaved woodland, alpine and sub-alpine meadows, along with rocky slopes form a unique environment. The plain has large areas of traditional cultivatios separated by hedges and tree stands, while there are also tracts of intensive cultivation and natural expanses that are not exploited.

4.2 Quality and importance

This area has remained in a great extent intact, despite the fact that Egnatia Highway passes through the plain of Pangaion and a number of forest roads provide access to many former remote areas. Birds of prey such as the Golden Eagle and the Booted Eagle thrive in the area, while rare birds associated with agricultural environments like the Roller and the Olive-tree Warbler are also common. Rock Partridges are still common in Mt Pangaio, while Semi-collared Flycatchers and other forest species nest in good numbers.
