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)

Other Site Characteristics

Il sito si presenta incassato con versanti ripidi, talora con fasce terrazzate; sono presenti vari tributari minori . Il substrato geologico rappresentato da argille a palombini, arenarie, argilliti e serpentiniti

4.2 Quality and importance

La morfologia, rappresentata da un tratto di torrente appenninico piuttosto incassato, permette un buon stato di conservazione degli habitat alcuni dei quali ospitano numerose popolazioni di anfibi. La variabilit dei substrati geologici, dellesposizione, delle condizioni climatiche e dellutilizzo del territorio (coltivi in vicinanza di zone di buona naturalita) assicurano il mantenimento di una elevata biodiversit. Nei prati a sfalcio persistono piccoli stagni e pozze in cui si riproduce Bombina pachypus (ex Bombina variegata). Il sito ospita , oltre a specie ed habitat prioritari della direttiva 92/43 CEE, un buon numero di taxa protetti ai sensi di direttive/convenzioni internazionali e 3 Molluschi endemici di particolare rilevanza non inseriti nellelenco delle specie riportato nelle schede natura 2000 poiche costituiti da specie nuove in corso di denominazione.
