Other Site Characteristics

The examined area lies north of the town of Ioannina, in the region of Zagori. It was established as a NationalPark in 1973. The core zone comprises the Vikos gorge which is about 10 km long and has vertical rocky cliffsmany hundreds of metres high. It begins between the villages Monodendri and Koukouli and ends near thevillage of Vikos. At the bottom of the gorge runs a torrent that, near the exit, becomes a permanent river(Voidomatis). The peripheral zone is larger and includes the Aoos ravine, the area of the villages of MikroPapingo and Megalo Papingo, as well as a narrow zone around the Vikos gorge. The ravine of Aoos lies betweenthe mountains Trapezitsa and Gkamila and is formed from the River Aoos. It begins very close to Konitsa and is10 km long, 8 km of which are included in the National Park. The northern side of Gamila consists of verticalslopes and high peaks rising above the Aoos ravine. Small mountain streams run from the peaks down to theRiver Aoos. In the area, there is also an interesting small valley called "Laka tou Tsoumani" and, higher up, asmall permanent mountain lake called "Drakolimni". Various types of vegetation cover the examined area. Thereare riparian forests of Salix, Alnus, Populus and Platanus, sclerophylous schrubs and woods of either deciduousand coniferous trees or mixed woods. The variability of deciduous trees in the mixed woodland zone issurprising. Ostrya carpinifolia, Fraxinus excelsior, Carpinus betulus, Carpinus orientalis, Juglans regia, Tiliatomentosa, several Acer species (A. campestris, A. pseudoplatanus etc.) and many other trees coverconsiderable areas. Formations of Aesculus hippocastanum, Juglans regia and Fraxinus excelsior occur in thenarrow, warm, humid shaded ravines and abrupt slopes of the beech zone.

4.2 Quality and importance

This region is one of the most important ecosystems because of its rare flora and fauna. The landscape is probably the most magnificent in Greece. The geographical isolation of the area, the relatively small human influence and the great variation of biotopes and microclimatic conditions favour the growth of different plant species. So, the area is a place where many rare plants are gathered and conserved; some of them are considered threatened taxa. The ravine of Aoos remains in nearly virgin condition and in its extensive forests we can find every kind of Greek tree, as well as more rare plants and animals than in Vikos gorge. In addition to the Greek endemic plant species listed in sections 3.3 with motivation B, many interesting taxa are found in the examined area. A great number of them are endemic to the Balkan peninsula (listed in section 3.3 with motivation D). These are: Aesculus hippocastanum, Abies borisii-regis, Bupleurum karglii, C. epirota, Crocus veluchensis, Lilium chalcedonicum, Pinus heldreichii, Cardamine carmosa, Cirsium appendiculatum, Dianthus integer subsp. minutiflorus, Silene fabarioides, Silene chromodonta and Viola albanica. Additionally receiving the same motivation are the following taxa: a) Aesculus hippocastanum, Campanula hawkinsiana, L. chalcedonicum since they are listed in the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981 and b) Centaurea epirota, since they are included in the WCMC Plants Database as "Rare". Scutellaria rupestris is also listed in UNEP as "Rare". Of the Greek endemics, Rindera graeca as "Rare". Another category is that with taxa having interesting distribution areas from a phytogeographical point of view (listed in section 3.3 with motivation D). Such taxa are: a) Lilium candidum, occurring in Balkan peninsula and SW Asia, b) Minuartia juniperina, a chiefly Asiatic species,c) Saxifraga glabella, endemics to the Appennini and the Balkan peninsula, d)Barbarea sicula, occurring in Greece, S Italy and Sicily, (listed in the WCMC Plants Database as "Vulnerable")Greece and is protected by the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981, as well as some taxa recently discovered in Greece: Geum reptans. Furthermore, above the village of Papingon, as well as solitary individuals of Ilex aquifolium.
