Other Site Characteristics
| The site is located in the southern part of the island of Evvoia. It contains two distinct areas: The "Kampos Karystou" plain and the mountain Ochi with the coastal areas of Cape Kafirefs and Potami. Kampos Karystou is a coastal plain lying west of Karystos, with extensive cultivated fields, small freshwater lakes, intermittently flowing streams and freshwater marshes, which are characterized by the presence of the plant species Typha latifolia, Salix sp. and Phragmites australis (a habitat type not included in Annex I, described in Corine 91 by code 53.2). Ochi mountain (1398 m) is located NE of Karystos. The most remarkable characteristics of this part of the site are: the extensive area with phrygana and sclerophyllus shrubs (especially Quercus coccifera), the many green valleys with Platanus orientalis, the small chestnut forest near the highest peak, and the rivers in which the dominant species are Vitex agnus-castus and Nerium oleander. The marine area of the site is characterized by the existence of posidonia beds, mainly in deep waters (>20 m) and by reefs (along Cape Kafirefs). Both of these ecosystems are in excellent condition. NOTES 1. In Kampos Karystou area there are extensive crops, not described by any habitat type of Annex I. 2. Habitat type 9320 describes areas with Olea europaea and Pistacia lentiscus shrubs. 3. On Ochi mountains there are extensive patches of Pteridium aquilinum. 4. There are Erica manipuliflora heathlands, a habitat type not included in Annex I.In 2015, the site was extended to comprise ~40 km of the south Evvoian coastline and 1.5 nm off, spanning a total marine area of about 140 km2. The site is part of the Kafireas straits, and thus affected by permanent currents that may reach velocities as strong as 7 knots. The seabed is characterized by steep slopes and depth regularly exceeds 200m. These features account for an exceptional marine biodiversity, which is however particularly vulnerable to fishing-related mechanical impacts. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| The ecological quality and importance of the site result from the following elements:1) The variety of habitat types which it contains with interesting fauna and flora communities. 2) The great number of passage birds and raptors which have been recorded in the area. 3) Its rich herpetofauna. 4) Well conserved acquatic ecosystems such as posidonia beds in deep waters and reefs at the coastline of Cape Kafirefs. 5) Dimosari gorge was proposed to be designated as an aesthetic forest in 1986.OTHER IMPORTANT SPECIES WITH MOTIVATION D: Bufo bufo (amphibian) and Malpolon monspessulanus (reptile) are protected by the greek Presidential Decree 67/81.The following endemic plants are included in the IUCN catalogue for the rare and threatened species of Greece: Paeonia mascula ssp. hellenica (Indeterminate), Cerastium runemarkii (Indeterminate), and Stachys euboica (Rare). The species Sideritis euboea, Viola euboea, Armeria johnsenii and the subspecies Campanula celsii ssp. carystea are endemic to the island of Evoia.Anthemis cretica ssp. cretica is a Balkan endemic.Various coralligenous assemblages (deep counterpart of Habitat Type 1170), including spectacular gorgonian facies (i.e. Paramuricea clavata, Eunicella cavolini), occur along the steep rocky coasts and reefs of the site at depths below ~30m. Extensive biodiversity-rich detritic and rhodolith beds (important deep subtypes for Habitat Type 1110) dominate the circalittoral sedimentary bottoms of the area. Posidonia oceanica beds (Habitat Type 1120) and caves and semi-submerged caves (Habitat Type 8330) are also present. |
