  • 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)

Other Site Characteristics

Sítio de elevado valor paisagístico e científico, onde predominam os afloramentos rochosos calcários em bom estado de conservação, ocupando mais de 50% da área total.

4.2 Quality and importance

Os afloramentos rochosos que caracterizam o sítio comportam vegetação vascular (8210), estando por vezes organizados em lajes calcárias, horizontais ou pouco inclinadas (8240*), com um reticulado de fendas colonizadas pelos melhores exemplos de vegetação casmofítica calcícola em território nacional. O coberto vegetal é dominado por carrascais (5330), sendo observáveis alguns resquícios dos azinhais (Quercus rotundifolia) (9340) de outrora. Registam-se ainda as presenças de arrelvados submetidos a pastoreio (6220*) e de matagais ou bosques baixos de Nerium oleander e Tamarix sp. pl., em galeria, associados ao leito de cursos de água de caudal irregular (92D0). Refira-se ainda que esta paisagem cársica possui uma grande disponibilidade de cavidades, potenciais abrigos de morcegos.
