3.1 Habitat types present on the site and assessment for them

Annex I Habitat types						Site assessment
Code	PF	NP	Cover [ha]	Cave [number]	Data quality	A|B|C|D	A|B|C
						Representativity	Relative Surface	Conservation	Global
8310			0	0.00	P	B	C	B	B
9110			28.35	0.00	G	A	C	B	A

• 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

• 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)

Other Site Characteristics

1.1 SituationLe site comprend l'ancienne ardoisière à l'Est de Perlé et les forêts limitrophes.1.2 Milieu physiqueLe substrat géologique est formé par des faciès locaux de phyllades très fissiles (ardoises).Les sols limono-caillouteux à charge schisto-phylladeuse, non gleyifiés couvrent l'ensemble de la zone.1.3 Occupation du solLa carrière abandonnée occupe environ 0,8 ha. La plus grande part de la surface du site est occupée par des forêts (91%) majoritairement feuillues (à 71%).Les territoires agricoles couvrent seulement 2% du site.

4.2 Quality and importance

Intérêts selon la directive "Habitats"Le site abrite une belle hêtraie du Luzulo-Fagetum.L'intérêt principal du site est la présence de trois espèces de chauve-souris de l'annexe II. C'est un site d'hibernation, un gîte d'étape et d'accouplement très important pour plusieurs espèces de chauve-souris dont trois figurent dans l'annexe II. Pour l'une d'entre elle, Myotis emarginatus, il s'agit du plus important site d'hibernation connu pour cette espèce dans le pays.Le site fait partie des cinq sites proposés comme réserve chiroptèrologique pour la conservation d'espèces de chiroptères de l'annexe II de la directive 'Habitats' définis dans le cadre du programme CEE de l'APTCS (Association pour la protection transfrontalière des chauves-souris).

6.3 Conservation measures (optional)

Principes de gestionUn programme de gestion spécifique doit être établi en fonction des populations de chauves-souris présentes sur le site.Ce programme ne peut être établi après une étude approfondie du site.La hêtraie du Luzulo-Fagetum, témoin important de ce type de forêt jadis très répandus dans la région, devrait être gérée selon les principes d’une sylviculture proche de la nature.
