4.1 General site character

Habitat class	% Cover
N18	83.00
N05	7.00
N06	10.00
Total Habitat Cover	100

Other Site Characteristics

Floresta de características higrófilas, subtropical húmida, constituída por espécies arbóreas e arbustivas perenifólias e um estrato mais baixo rico em fetos, musgos, hepáticas e outras plantas de pequeno porte, algumas das quais endémicas. No seu interior, húmido e sombrio, coabitam numerosas espécies de fauna e flora de elevado interesse.

4.2 Quality and importance

Trata-se de uma floresta outrora existente também na Europa e hoje confinada a algumas ilhas do Atlântico, com características peculiares, com elevado número de endemismos. Ao nível dos vertebrados destaca-se o único endemismo terrestre o Pombo trocaz Columba trocaz . A ilha da Madeira possuidora da maior e mais bem conservada área de Laurissilva.
