- 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
The island of Samos is located at the eastern part of the central Aegean sea, very close to the coasts of Asia Minor. The climate is typical mediterranean with mean annual rainfall exceeding 500 mm. The mountain Ampelos (Karvounis) occupies the central part of the island. The highest summit is Profitis Ilias (1093 m). The site is a well forested mountainous area, characterised mainly by temperate coniferous forests, sclerophyllous scrub and exposed limestone rocks. Grazing and farming have affected the upper parts of the mountain less than usual in the Aegean, so much natural or semi-natural vegetation is still present. There are not main habituated areas within the proposed site and due to the lack of main roads the approach to the district by car is rather difficult. The traditional cultivation of cereals, vineyards and olive trees although nowadays limited are still balanced. It must be mentioned that habitat type 9540 concerns Pinus brutia forests. |
4.2 Quality and importance
The quality and importance of the site result mainly from the great number of endemic and very rare plants and invertebrates existing in the area. This high degree of endemism derives mainly from the geographical location of Samos island (very close to Asia Minor) as well as from the high altitudes and the fair variety of biotopes existing within the proposed site. It is worth noting that the plant species Asperula samia, Thymus samious and Erodium sibthorpianum ssp. vetteri are local endemics. It must be mentioned, as well, that due to the isolation from the main tourist areas of Samos island and the limited human activities within the site, the Pinus brutia and P. pallasiana ssp. nigra, forests are at a very good conservation status.OTHER IMPORTANT SPECIES WITH MOTIVATION DPlants: The following species are protected by the CITES Convention: Cephalanthera epipactoides, Epipactis helleborine, Listera ovata, Orchis tridentata (Annex C); Astragalus ptilodes (rare), Corydalis integra (rare), Fritillaria bithynica (rare), Lomelosia polykratis (rare), Silene urvillei (rare). The characterizations given concern the plants status in Greece.These species are also protected by the Greek Law (Presidential Decree 67/81). Tordylium hirtocarpum is protected by the Greek Law (Presidential Decree 67/81).Note: Scutellaria rubicunda ssp. icarica (=Scutellaria brevibracteata ssp. icarica) is endemic to Samos and Ikaria. |
