Other Site Characteristics
| The mountain range of Erymanthos is the highest one of an extended mountainous area in NW Peloponnisos, consisting of several peaks and characterized by a multifarious relief with many springs, valleys, plateaus and gorges. From the springs of the Olonos summit, two small rivers are formed crossing the two biggest gorges of Mt. Erymanthos. These gorges are very impressive from an aesthetic point of view, as the landscape presents several spectacular waterfalls. The Erymanthos mountain range belongs to the Olonos-Pindos geotectonic zone and the geological substratum is composed of plate limestones with layers of ceratolith and flysch. The contact of the calcareous rocks with the waterproof schists is the main reason for the existence of many springs occuring at altitudes higher than 1500m. The conifer forests with Abies cephalonica occuring on the largest part of the northern slopes of Mt. Erymanthos are characterized by good structure and dense stands up to 1800-1900m, whilst on the western slopes extended calcareous cliffs are present. The southern slopes are covered by Abies cephalonica and Juniperus foetidissima stands up to lower altitudes (1600-1700m) and, as a consequence of intense erosion and grazing, the degradation stages of vegetation accompanied by bare rocky ground give the main appearance of the landscape. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| The importance of the mountain range of Erymanthos lies in the presence of many endemic plants. Although less than those on the other high mountains of Peloponnisos, well conserved coniferous forests with Abies cephalonica and Juniperus foetidissima at the mountainous altitudinal levels, as well as well preserved habitats of the Mountain- and Oro-Mediterranean zones (1600-2221m) are present, along with open stepped garland grasslands, dense, closed chionophilous grasslands, calcareous cliffs and screes. The occurrence of some Peloponnesian endemics on Mt. Erymanthos must be pointed out. Due to the fact that no species is known to be singly endemic to Mt. Erymanthos, we have to mention the lack of complete floristic and vegetation research from all Erymanthos. A great percentage of the endemic and non-endemic taxa of Erymanthos is classified as one of the main IUCN Red Data Book categories (Rare, Vulnerable, Endangered). As concerns the species listed in section 3.3 with motivation D, the following reasons must be referred: Allium phtioticum: a Balkan species distributed in Greece (Peloponnisos, Sterea Ellada, Pindos, North Central) and Albania (Mt. Olonan). In Peloponnisos, this species has limited occurences on Mts. Erymanthos and Chelmos. Moreover to the above mentioned taxa incorporated in Motivation D, some comments must be made on the geographical distribution of the rest species which belong to the following categories: a) Balkan endemics: Poa thessala, Lilium chalcedonicum, Minuartia stellata, Acer heldreichi, Dianthus integer subsp. Minutiflorus, Silene radicosa subsp.radicosa, Allium phtioticum, Arabis bryoides. B) Species distributed in the Balkan peninsula and Anatolia: Anthemis cretica subsp. Cretica, c) The remaining species present an interesting distribution range. Some of the above mentioned species are incorporated in one of the IUCN Red Data Book categories (WCMC 1993) : Allium phtioticumThe jackal Canis aureus is a threatened mammal with the status "Vulnerable" according to the Greek Red Data Book. The significance of the fauna of this mountain is also indicated by the sympatric occurrence of three Greek endemic lizard taxa (Algyroides moreoticus, Podarcis peloponnesiaca). With the exceptions of the jackal all other vertebrate taxa of section 3.3 are protected by the Bern Convention and therefore have the C motivation. Some taxa of this sections are given the D motivation because they are listed in the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981. Moreover, the toad Bufo viridis has been evaluated by the CORINE-Biotopes Project thus receiving the same motivation for this reason. Some other taxa are also given motivation D for additional reasons. Namely, the Alpine Newt, Triturus alpestris, is very rare in northern Peloponnisos where few isolated small populations have been found; the gecko lizard C. k. bibroni has a very broken distribution area in GreeceThe invertebrate species listed in section 3.3 with motivation D are protected by the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981. |
