- 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
- 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)
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
- CODE: for Birds, Annex IV and V species the code as provided in the reference portal should be used in addition to the scientific name
- 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)
- 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)
- Cat.: Abundance categories: C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present
- Motivation categories: IV, V: Annex Species (Habitats Directive), A: National Red List data; B: Endemics; C: International Conventions; D: other reasons

Other Site Characteristics
| Nymfeon (a nearby village) is being currently developed into an ecotouristic centre of the area. Several hotels and hostels have been built and operated succesfully, attracting many nature lovers from all Greece. Within the site there are several abandoned villages and abandoned pastures. These create suitable habitat and also provide fruits that are food for the bear. The area has been used by military forces since WW II and today, the highest peak is occupied by a large military radar station. The climate is continental type, with very cold winters. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| The importance of the site stems from the small bear population that permanently lives here. As it is a military area, with little activity on the subalpine grasslands, preserving the vegetation and wildlife. The beech forest is also important as a pollution absorbant in relation to the highly polluted and degraded natural environment of the Amyndeo plain. Campanula hawkinsiana, Corallorhiza trifida, Dactylorhiza sambucina, Dactylorhiza saccifera, Poa thessala (motivation D) are protected by the Greek Presidental Decree (67/1981). Epilobium collinum, Galium pseudaristatum, Viola velutina (motivation D) are rare in Greece and/or reach their extreme distribution limits in Northern Greece. Bruckenthalia spiculifolia, Centaurea deustiformis, Dianthus tristis, Silene fabarioides, Silene waldsteinii, Viola orphanidis (motivation D) are Balkan endemics and 2 taxa Geum coccineum finds its main distribution area in the Balkan Peninsula extending also to Turkey or Italy. They have also been recorded seven reptile species and two amphibian species of Annex IV , and an amphibian species of Annex V. |
