- 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 island of Andros is the northernmost island of the Cyclades complex. It is also the closest to the mainland, having the biggest size and altitude, and it receives the highest precipitation values in Cyclades. The proposed site is located to the northern part of the Andros, which is the less habituated area of the island and it includes the main mountainous area and Vitali gulf. Due to the lack of main roads the approach to the district by car is rather difficult. The most proximate villages are Vitali and Arnas. Although in general the site can be considered a typical Cycladian ecosystem (featuring the typical rock surfaces, the steep sea cliffs and the typical aegean phrygana vegetation) it is also characterized by a unique mosaic habitat distribution, mainly because of the high altitudes (mountain Petalo, 995 m) the presence of gorges, springs, intermittently flowing streams and temporary ponds. It is also noticeable that the human activities in the area are do not have such an impact as in other Greek islands with greater tourism development. The traditional cultivations of cereals, legumes and vegetables, although nowadays limited, are still balanced. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| The quality and importance of the site result from the following elements: 1) It is an area of great aesthetic value (especially the gulf of Vitali and the area around Arnas village); 2) The site contains a fair number of habitat types and biotopes. 3) There is a high degree of flora and fauna (especially avifauna) endemism; 4) There exist rare plant species as well as plant communities with very distribution in the Aegean area; 5) There are important birds refugees on cliffs; 6) The site is naturally protected because of the steep rocks and cliffs and the lack of roads that make the area difficult to access, so it is isolated from the main touristic areas of Andros island. |
