4.2 Quality and importance

Il sito, bench ubicato in prossimit di un'area ad alta densit di urbanizzazione, caratterizzato da elevati livelli di diversit ambientale ed ha mantenuto un elevato grado di naturalit. L'area boschiva caratterizzata da popolamenti che presentano pochi segni di alterazione, invecchiati e non degradati, con ottime potenzialit per l'evoluzione a fustaia climax. Da sottolineare la gamma di habitat boschivi, dalle facies pi mesofile a quelle pi termofile, in relazione alle variazioni di esposizione dei versanti e di umidit. In particolare, la forra e le pareti rocciose della valle, praticamente inaccessibili, sono estremamente importanti per la nidificazione di rapaci diurni. Le pareti calcaree ospitano una ricca flora casmofitica afferente al Potentillion caulescentis. Nella forra in corrispondenza di aree stillicidiose sono presenti sorgenti petrificanti con formazione di travertino (Cratoneurion). Di notevole importanza anche le praterie aride in cui si osserva la presenza di numerose specie erbacee di interesse naturalistico fra le quali diverse specie di Orchidacee e Campanulacee. Si sottolinea la presenza e la riproduzione di Bombina variegata, specie rara e localizzata, le cui popolazioni sono al limite occidentale di distribuzione per quanto riguarda il settore meridionale delle Alpi. I corsi d'acqua del fondovalle ospitano Austropotamobius pallipes. L'avifauna legata al mantenimento delle aree agricole e degli ecotoni, utilizzati come aree di caccia da parte dei rapaci diurni (Milvus migrans, Circaetus gallicus e Pernis apivorus) e di Lanius collurio. Quest'ultima si drasticamente ridotta negli ultimi anni localizzandosi in pochissime localit, caratterizzate dall'attivit agricola, come analogamente Emberiza hortulana.
