- 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

- 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
| The main vegetation type is forests of Quercus frainetto. Its growth has proved successful in places of good quality. On the westerly exposed sites, Q. frainetto is found mixed with Pinus halepensis while at the edge of the forest it is mixed with evergreen broad-leaved species, which also represent its understorey (shrub understorey). The absence of natural regeneration is quite characteristic together with illegal tree-felling and the presence of a mosaic of cultivated and grazed land. The parasitic plant species Loranthus europaeus has been observed in this site. The woodlands of the studied site also contain a seed producing population of Pinus nigra species. The Pinus halepensis woods cover lower altitudes up to 700m and are used by farmers for resin collection. Their understorey is composed of evergreen broad-leaved species. In the lower altitudes some parts of the formations, which had previously experienced fires, are now at the stage of natural regeneration. The presence of macchie vegetation is uniform in a small limestone area and occurs as an understorey of Pinus halepensis and in the lower part of Quercus frainetto formations. The area around the human habitations is occupied by phrygana, abandoned fields and wooded areas. Cultivated land covers areas around the buildings but also occurs in the forests of Quercus frainetto originating from fires, trangression and tree-felling. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| Clusters of saplings prevent soil erosion and positively effect the ecology of the area. The forests of the study area are within the collective basin of the Erymanthos and Pineios rivers and help to protect the soil, the cultivated areas and the archaeological site. The oak forest and the Pinus halepensis forest occupy the larger part of the site. Macchie vegetation is limited. We consider that the protection of the biotopes of in this ecologically sensitive region, threatened not only by a retreat from the natural zones of development in Greece but also from disappearing from Peloponnisos, it will constitute an important measure, contributing to the conservation of the structure and the balance of the Mediterranean type ecosystems. This is an important site for species characterisitic of a mosaic of forest, pasture and olive-groves. Species of concern include Dendrocopos medius and Emberiza caesia. Some vertebrate taxa (excluding birds) have been recorded from this site so far; but it is certain that the local fauna is much more variable. The lizards Ablepharus kitaibelii, Lacerta trilineata and Podarcis peloponnesiaca are given the D motivation since the former has been evaluated by the CORINE-Biotopes Project and the others are protected by the Greek Presidential Decree 67/1981. |
