1.2 Route Refinement Surveys July 2012 Survey points taken as part of the route refinement survey were not specifically undertaken in
relation to the Vithkuq-Ostrovice or Grykederdhje e Semanit-Pishe Poro designated sites. As
such many of the points recorded are located outside of the CORINE Biotope boundaries,
particularly for the Vithkuq-Ostrovice site. However, data collected is still of relevance so has
been included within this document.

This formation is of seedling origin, newly formed by young trees of 5-10 cm diameter, 6-7 m height and less than 20 years old as a result of regular management of the woodlands for firewood and livestock fodder. These very open forests are dominated by Fagus sylvatica, but often feature occasional Pinus nigra and Abies alba.

The ground flora of these forests are dominated by species typical of beech forests such as Asperula odoratum, Agrimonia eupatoria, Crocus chrysanthus.
Crocus chrysanthus
Key Feature (Y/N) Landscape of special beauty. Track from main road (Shtylla village) to Bot-019 is characterised by alterations of beech forest and grasslands. Grasslands and forests are one of the main resources of this area that are largely used by the local population in their daily living.

The majority of these forests are degraded as a result of as a result of timber harvesting. The indicator of this degradation is the presence of a greater frequency of species such as Juniperus communis, etc. Patches of pure Pinus nigra occur locally although several deciduous trees and shrubs are often associated with this conifer including: Fagus sylvatica, Abies alba, Quercus petraea, Rubus idaeus, Pteridium aquilinum, Juniperus communis, Quercus cerris, Fraxinus ornus and Ostrya carpinifolia. Sometimes, an undergrowth of Juniperus communis, Daphne laureola, etc. is found in this forest type. The herb flora is relatively rich, e.g. Euphorbia amygdaloides, Bellis perennis, Agrimonia agrimonoides, Mercurialis perennis, etc.

The sandy belt closer to the seaside is completely vegetation free. Pioneer species Cakile maritima, Xanthium strumarium subsp. italicum, Salsola kali, which look very isolated at the beginning, become denser further from the coast.

Section: Central East Remarks Beech forest (Luzulo-Fagetum beech forests) in the upper limit of forest vegetation in natural state. The forest is dense but not very high trees due to harsh conditions. The ground flora of these forests is dominated by species typical of beech forests such as Woodruff (Asperula odoratum), Woodrush great (Luzula sylvatica), Common agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria), Erect brome (Bromus erectus), Meadowgrass (Poa ursina), etc.
Mixing of forest formations with pastures gives to the zone a high diversity of habitats and high values to the landscape.

Section: Central East Remarks This WP is partially covered by dry poor pastures (Mountain hay meadows) and partly by degraded beech forests. A small stream runs across this wp. These meadows are of secondary origin, long-term derivative plant communities that have originated on the places of destroyed beech forests in the mountains of Backa Ostrovica area. As a result of intensive grazing often they are dominated by Common juniper (Juniperus communis subsp. nana). Other species with a high presence can mention Reed-grass (Calamagrostis varia), Koeleria grass flower head (Koeleria splendens), Hairy melick (Melica ciliata), Bulbous meadow grass (Poa bulbosa), Hair-like feather-grass (Stipa joannis), Blood root (Potentilla erecta), Wood-rush (Luzula luzulina), Hawkweed (Hieracium sp.), Ribwort plantain (Plantago lanceolata), Dandelion (Taraxacum sp.), Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), White horehound (Marrubium vulgare).

Section: Central East Remarks Ridge of the hill allong the pipeline route. Mountain hay meadows dominated by different cold resistant grasses, as Erect brome (Bromus erectus), Blood root (Potentilla erecta), Woodrush (Luzula luzulina), Meadowgrass (Poa ursina), False brome (Brachypodium sylvaticum), Brush grass (Chrysopogon gryllus), False oat grass (Arrhenatherum elatius), Common juniper (Juniperus communis).
Luzulo-Fagetum beech forests are developed in this WP with main component element the beech (Fagus sylvatica). The majority of the beech (Fagus sylvatica) forest in this WP are degraded, dominated by trees less than 6 m in height and less than 20 years old as a result of regular management of the woodlands for firewood and livestock fodder.

Section: Central East Remarks Area with forest vegetation dominated by Black pine (Pinus nigra) near the Staravecka water reservoir. These forests are damaged and in very bad conditions as result of abusive cutting, that can be clearly evidenced by the presence of formation dominated by Common juniper (Juniperus communis). In many cases, these formations are very open, often as seedlings generally less than 15 years old.
Mountain hay meadows dominated by different cold resistant grasses, such as Blood root (Potentilla erecta), Woodrush (Luzula luzulina), Erect brome (Bromus erectus), Meadowgrass (Poa ursina), False brome (Brachypodium sylvaticum), Brush grass (Chrysopogon gryllus), False oat grass (Arrhenatherum elatius), and Common juniper (Juniperus communis).

Section: Central East Remarks Agricultural areas. The most important crops cultivated in these areas are wheat, corn, barley and alfalfa. Galio Carpinetum Oak-Hornbeam Forests, generally dominated by Oriental hornbeam (Carpinus orientalis), extends in a large part of this WP. A strong human impact is associated with this habitat as a result of cutting, intensive grazing. Some small surfaces cultivated by Coniferous Forest (new forests) dominated by Black pine (Pinus nigra) are also found in this WP.
