Other Site Characteristics

Dinara is the highest mountain in Croatia situated on the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. There is a high occurrence of rocky habitats and cliffs in the area with the most extensive mountain pastures in the country. Forest habitats are represented by young submediterranean woods and hop-hornbeam scrub on the hills. In many places in karst areas succession and development of bushes is evident, suggesting lack of grazing and mowing. On the mountain itself there are no inhabited areas, and human presence consists mostly of small shepards stone shelters, sheepfolds, fenced fields and stone crowns of draw-wells that testify of the life and activities in the past. Also, the stonewalls present at the site represent traditional cultural heritage. The whole area was affected by the war and there are places where mines can be found. Lithostratigraphic units represented in this area are limestone and dolomite (lower cretaceous - K1), rudist limestones (cenomanian-maastricht - K21-6), fatlayered limestone and dolomite (middle jurassic - J2). Soils: limestone and dolomite black soil, brown soil on limestone, rocky ground, shallow and medium deep terra rossa. Formed during the Alpine orogenesis; in the geotectonic terms the mountain is a part of the Outer Dinaric; Dinaric direction of spreading of all relief forms (NW-SE); many speleological objects and other karst forms.

4.2 Quality and importance

- site with the biggest population(s) of Cerastium dinaricum in Croatia - most significant site for Vipera ursinii in Croatia - important site for Arabis scopoliana - significant site for Canis lupus and Ursus arctos - important site for Dinaromys bogdanovi - site is important for saproxylic beetles - Morimus funereus, Rosalia alpina and Osmoderma barnabita, it represents important site for conservation of the overall area of distribution, also it represents one of recent findings for rare species in Croatia Osmoderma barnabita - site with great abundance of butterfly species Protoerebia afra dalmata which could be considered as a dominant species in suitable habitats of Dinara mountain - only site in Croatia for Rupicapra rupicapra balcanica - important site for 8310 Caves not open to public - up to date 99 taxa are known and 39 of them are troglobitic and stigobiotic animals; 10 taxa are endemic for Mt. Dinara area and 12 taxa for Croatia; 3 type localities where originally found and described taxa were: Haplotropidius cadeki, Pseudotegenaria bosnica, Laemostenus cavicola sinjesis; on Mt. Dinara area was found second locality for taxa Alpioniscus verhoeffi - important feeding and roosting site for Myotis myotis, Myotis blythii and Rhinolophus euryale - important site for habitat type 6170 - important site for Calcareous and calcshist screes of the montane to alpine levels (Thlaspietea rotundifolii), with endemic ass. Cerastium dinarici Ht. 1931 - important site for habitat type 62A0 - site with occurence of habitat type 6210*
