- 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

- 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)
3.3 Other important species of flora and fauna (optional)
- Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, Fu = Fungi, I = Invertebrates, L = Lichens, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles

Other Site Characteristics
| The hardwood forests extend their dominance in the most part of area. Two important species characterize the forests of Mt. Vrontou and Lailias (Quercus frainetto and Fagus sp.). There are also Pinus nigra var. palassiana forests, Pinus sylvestris is a less significant pine in a few stands. From a geological point of view the mountain belongs to the Mass of Rodope. The climate is an intermediate climate type those of the Mediterranean and the continent. The high altitudes belong to the humid zone, while the lower areas belong to the dry zones. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| Area with rich forest of deciduous trees (especially beech forest) and coniferous trees (Pinus nigra). It has many rare species (like the ampibian Triturus karelinii) and species with restricted distribution in the Balkan peninsula. The forest resources of Lailias provide a variety of recreational offerings: hunting, picnicking and camping; walking, hiking and mountain climbing; driving vehicles in forest settling; winter sport and skiing; photography, painting and nature study. Although most commercial forests are publicity owned, they are have harvested by private associations under arrangements with the Greek Forest Service. A lot of poor people work in logging and wood using industries, so the local unemployment decrease remarkable. Concerning the wild growning plants the quality of the site is indicated by the occurrence of other important taxa. Rhinanthus pindicus, Sempervivum marmoreum (motivation D) are included in the WCMC and/or European Red Data list. Acer heldreichii, Atropa bella - donna, Dactylorhiza sambucina, Lilium martagon, Picea abies ssp. abies (motivation D) are protected by the Greek Presidental Decree (67/1981). Epilobium collinum, Ranunculus incomparabilis, Trifolium spadiceum (motivation D) in Greece and/or reach their extreme distribution limits in Northern Greece. Abies borisii-regis, Achillea chrysocoma, Allium melanantherum, Asperula aristata ssp. nestia, Bruckenthalia spiculifolia, Cerastium rectum, Cirsium appendiculatum, Sideritis scardica, Stachys plumose (motivation D) are Balkan endemics. The site includes streams and humid areas that can sustain Lycaena dispar, and adequate habitats for Polyommatus eroides. Both species are known to occur from bibliographical records. A new addition to the site is Parnassius mnemosyne found in two locations. They have also been recorded ten species of reptiles and one amphibian species of Annex IV. Zesta Nera Cave: The cave is home to at least four species of bat of Annex II to Directive 92/43 (2000 Miniopterus schreibersii, 20 Myotis blythii, 20 Myotis myotis, 10 Myotis capaccinii) and is one of 10 major bat colonies in Greece. Cave Katarrakton: In the cave have identified at least four species of bat of Annex II of Directive 92/43 (250 Myotis myotis, 50 Miniopterus schreibersii, 25 Rhinolophus euryale, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum). |
