3. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Back to top3.1 Habitat types present on the site and assessment for them
No habitat types are reported for the site
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

Other Site Characteristics
| The site is located in the southern part of the island of Evvoia. It contains two distinct areas:Mount Ochi with the coastal areas of Cape Kafirefs and Potami and the Mandilou islet. 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. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| Mount Ochi still holds significant population of large birds of prey like the Bonelli's and Short-toed Eagle. It is also very important for the Eagle Owl, of which 13 pairs are found (a remarkable density). Furthermore, passerines of european interest nest (Woodlark, Tawny Pipit, Cretzschmar's Bunting) in significant numbers. The site is also important for migrants, especially birds of prey and other large birds (herons, storks). In the rocky coasts, Shags are nesting in nationally important numbers. Finally, in Mandilou islets there has been recorded Eleonora's Falcon and Audouin's Gull nesting. |
