• 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)

Other Site Characteristics

Mavrovouni extends between Ossa and Pilio mountains and is divided in Larissa and Magnisia Prefectures. It mainly consists of schist and, in less extent, of limestone. Crudely, the marine area covers 2% of the site, the terrestrial area covers 96% and the reservoirs cover 2%.Its NE side ends in steep cliffs in the Aegean Sea. At the higher zone it is mainly covered by oak forests (especially Quercus) and at lower parts by beech and chestnut forests. Maquis covers the lower zone. At the eastern part of the mountain it is very dense and dominated by holm oak (Quercus ilex). The rest of maquis is dominated by kermes oak and wild olive and has deteriorated as a result of intense grazing. This area is used for pasture by high numbers of farm animals. Mavrovouni also includes ravines, rock formations, grasslands, phrygana and agricultural land. A significant number of streams runs the mountain, most of them drying in summer. At the banks of the streams there are plane trees, alders, poplars and willows.NOTES:a) The habitat type 5420 concerns mainly Cistus salvifolius, C. creticus, C. monspeliensis, Thymus capitatus, Ballota acetabulosa, Sarcopoterium spinosum and Genista acanthoclada.b) The reedbeds (Phragmites australis), occuring in the two reservoirs and not included in Annex I, could constitute an additional habitat type.

4.2 Quality and importance

The following elements indicate the ecological importance of the site:(1) It has a varied morphology, including a mountain, two water reservoirs-wetlands and a spring and a great variety of habitat types.(2) It shelters an interesting fauna of reptiles, amphibians, and mammals, most of these species which are protected at national and international level and of Community interest. More specifically, many rare birds of prey nest like the Golden Eagle, Lesser Spotted Eagle, Booted Eagle and Lanner Falcon. Furthermore a great variety of Woodpeckers (Black Woodpecker, White-backed Woodpecker, Medium Spotted and Syrian Woodpecker) as well as Black Storks and several small passerines use the dense forest for nesting and foraging. There are also several species of fish. (3) The extended, well-conserved deciduous forests. (4) The rich variety of birds, especially raptors observed in Mavrovouni.OTHER IMPORTANT SPECIES WITH MOTIVATION Damasonium alisma is a vulnerable species in Greece (IUCN, 1993)Sciurus vulgaris is protected by the Greek Law (Presidential Decree 67/81) and by the Bern Convention (Annex III).
