- 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
Sítio localizado a algumas milhas a Noroeste do Cabo Carvoeiro (Peniche), composto por um conjunto de ilhas rochosas - Berlenga (granítica) e Farilhões (mistura de gneiss e xistos metamórficos) - pontos mais elevados de uma antiga zona continental, hoje submersa. É constituído pelas ilhas rochosas e pela área marinha em seu redor.
É o único local onde aparece Angelica plachycarpa em Portugal. |
4.2 Quality and importance
As características únicas deste sítio, nomeadamente a geografia e o clima, conduziram à especiação de dois endemismosflorísticos (Armeria berlengensis e Herniaria berlengiana) e à ocorrência de uma comunidade vegetal peculiar.
Merecem especial distinção os recifes (1170), de origem rochosa, bem como as grutas marinhas submersas ou semi-submersas (8330), onde vivem comunidades bentónicas vegetais e animais, e onde ocorrem comunidades não bentónicas associadas em apreciável estado de conservação.
As falésias costeiras expostas aos fortes ventos marítimos assumem particular importância, possibilitando a existênciade vegetação de fendas mais ou menos terrosas, própria de rochedos graníticos litorais (1230 - um habitat que apenasse encontra em mais outro Sítio em Portugal continental), bem como a existência de vegetação anual primaveril (1310) dearribas graníticas nitrofilizadas em consequência da utilização e nidificação de avifauna e de matos halonitrófilos(1430), compostos por caméfitos e nanofanerófitos frequentemente suculentos.
Local da maior importância para a nidificação de aves marinhas no litoral português, constituindo um local de reprodução importante no contexto europeu ou regional, nomeadamente para airo (Uria aalge), cagarra (Calonectris diomedea) eroquinho (Oceanodroma castro). |
