- 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
- 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)
3.3 Other important species of flora and fauna (optional)
- Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, Fu = Fungi, I = Invertebrates, L = Lichens, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
- CODE: for Birds, Annex IV and V species the code as provided in the reference portal should be used in addition to the scientific name
- S: in case that the data on species are sensitive and therefore have to be blocked for any public access enter: yes
- NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
- 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)
- Cat.: Abundance categories: C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present
- Motivation categories: IV, V: Annex Species (Habitats Directive), A: National Red List data; B: Endemics; C: International Conventions; D: other reasons

Other Site Characteristics
| The site is located at the northern edge of Euboea (Evvoia) island. The site includes the lagoons Megalo Livari, Strongylo and Mikro Livari, the estuary of Xirias (Kalas) River and Agios Nikolaos deciduous forest (designated as Natural Monument). This forest owned by the Church and two others near Megalo Livari are remnants of an once extended riverine forest which has nowadays been restricted because of logging and expansion of cultivation. The lagoons contain brackish water and their fresh water originates from springs and small streams. They are surrounded by cultivated fields.Megalo Livari was extensively exploited in the past for fish production, but digging, landfilling, and changes of the orifice have been conducted for the intensification of fish culture. Road construction, habitation and tourism activities are extended towards the lagoon. In addition, a fish hatchery was constructed at the northern edge of the lagoon. The conservation status of the wetland vegetation around the lagoon, of the reedbeds and the riverine forest has seriously deteriorated. Halophilous vegetation is also present. Mikro Livari lagoon is a private area where drainage works have been done. Also, roads were constructed near Mikro Livari and Strongylo. Marsh and reedbeds surround the lagoons, and sand beach and sand dunes extend along coastal zone of the site. Xirias river has an intermittent flow. NOTES: * Reed beds (Phragmites australis), another habitat type not included in Annex I of Directive 92/43/EEC, are present in the site. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| The following elements indicate the ecological quality and importance of the site:1) It is one of the few wetlands of eastern continental Greece.2) The great variety of existing habitat types.3) It is important for migrating and wintering birds, especially for the mute swan (max 1,600i), the flamingo (max 550i), the spoonbill, the glossy ibis, ducks, herons and waders.4) It supports an isolated population of river otter (Annex I of Dir. 92/43), the most important site for the species in Euboea.5) The presence of small riverine forests (one of them has been declared as a Natural Monument).6) The great variety of herpetofauna. |
