Approximate Distance From Centreline 0-5 m Remarks Embryonic shifting dunes (Cakiletea maritimae & Ammophiletea, low dunes up to 1 m high) at the landfall of the pipeline. The sandy dunes of this wp comprise a narrow belt along the Adriatic Sea, with a variable width that ranges from 30 to 50 meters and which reach a maximum height of c. 1 meter. 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. Gradually going away from coast line as the height of dunes increase, the physiognomy of vegetation changes and species such as Elymus farctus, Euphorbia paralias, Cyperus capitatus Sporobolus pungens, belonging to a more evolved stage of vegetation cover appear.

2.2 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.

Section: Central East Remarks Reed beds and White willow (Salix alba) and White poplar (Populus alba) galleries or riparian vegetation give the dominant aspect this wp (between km 8 and 8.5). These species-rich habitats add much to the botanical diversity of the study area. The formation of reed-beds is also wide spread in this wp dominated by helophytes, such as Common reed (Phragmites australis), Lesser bulrush (Typha angustifolia),Lake club-rush (Scirpus lacustris), Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria).

The riparian woodlands are largely dominated by White willow (Salix alba), White poplar (Populus alba),Black poplar (P. nigra), Purple willow (Salix elaeagnos), S. purpurea, Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna).

Section: Central East Remarks Very degraded 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, and deforestation. The dominant species of this habitat type are: Oriental hornbeam (Carpinus orientalis), Hazel (Corylus avellana), Castanea sativa, Black pine (Pinus nigra), Hop hornbeam (Ostrya carpinifolia), Turkey oak (Quercus cerris, Macedonean oak (Quercus trojana), Prickly juniper (Juniperus oxycedrus), Common juniper (J. communis), Elm leaf blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius), Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna), Dogrose (Rosa canina),

Section: West Remarks Saline tamarisk thickets. This habitat contains tamarisk (Tamarix dalmatica and Tamarix hampeana) thickets accompanied by Sea rush (Juncus maritimus), Beardgrass (Polypogon maritimus), Common sea lavender (Limonium vulgare), Squirrel tail-grass (Hordeum marinum) and Common reed (Phragmites australis). In higher areas, Elm leaf blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius), Terebint tree (Pistacia terebinthus) and Viscous fleabane (Dittrichia viscosa) were observed. Large area in this WP represents a former agriculture land that is abandoned for many years (sandy salted soils) invaded mostly by alien invasive species Viscous fleabane (Dittrichia viscosa) and a large number of opportunistic ruderal species such as Daisy (Bellis perennis), Elm leaf blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius), Bog rush (Schoenus nigricans), White-felted germander (Teucrium polium), Dyer’s alkannet (Alkanna tinctoria) and Giant reed (Arundo donax) (along the irrigation channel).

Section: West Remarks Wooded dunes with Pines (Pinus pinea or Pinus pinaster) occupy a small part of the study area distributed mainly on sandy dunes. In general, they represent relatively young forests, cultivated recently (c. 40 - 50 years ago) in order to stabilize the sandy dunes and protect the agricultural lands. The shrubby layer is represented by typical Mediterranean species. Main shrub species of this habitat type are: Mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus), Elm leaf blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius), Common myrtle (Myrtus communis), Narrow-leaved phyllirea (Phyllirea angustifolia), Silk vine (Periploca graeca), Mediterranean heather (Erica multiflora), Prickly juniper (Juniperus oxycedrus ssp. Macrocarpa), Rabit-tail (Lagurus ovata), Dyer’s alkannet (Alkanna tinctoria), Sand sporobolus (Sporobolus pungens), Dune fescue (Vulpia fasciculata), etc.
