IDENTIFICATION, ASSESSING AND MAPPING OF HABITATS AND SPECIES DISTRIBUTION 1.1. Identification and assessing Experts for botany reviewed list of habitats related to Montenegro (lend and marine). They paid attention on habitats that were specified as important for Emerald network designation as well as to ones that were of interest for Yearly Monitoring of Biodiversity status 2011th. The Botany team identifies habitats that are either endangered or threatened as well as the ones that are rare or specific for Balkan nature. They produce check list of habitats that serve as a referent check list for their work. Table 1. List of important habitats for mapping (Codes are given according to NATURA 2000 classification.) CODE Name of habitat type 1210 Annual vegetation of drift lines 1240 Vegetated sea cliffs of the Mediterranean coasts with endemic Limonium spp 1310 Salicornia and other annuals colonising mud and sand 1410 Mediterranean salt meadows (Juncetalia maritimi) Mediterranean and thermo-Atlantic halophilous scrubs (Salicornetea 1420 fruticosi) 2110 Embryonic shifting dune 2120 Shifting dunes along the shoreline with Ammophila arenaria (white dunes) 2190 Humide dune slack 2220 Dunes with Euphorbia terracina 2240 Brachypodietalia dune grasslands with annuals Oligotrophic to mesotrophic standing waters with vegetation of the 3130 Littorelletea uniflorae and/or of the Isoëto-Nanojuncetea 3140 Hard oligo-mesotrophic waters with benthic vegetation of Chara spp. Natural eutrophic lakes with Magnopotamion and Hydrocharition type 3150 vegetation 3230 Alpine rivers and their ligneous vegetation with Myricaria germanica 4060 Alpine and boreal heaths 5310 Laurus nobilis thickets 6170 Alpine and subalpine calcareous grassland Semi-natural dry grasslands and scrubland facies on calcareous substrates 6210 (Festuco-Brometalia) ( * important orchid sites) 6220 Pseudo-steppe with grasses and annuals of the Thero-Brachypodietea *Species-rich Nardus grasslands, on siliceous substrates in mountain areas 6230 and submountain areas in continental Europe 62A0 East sub-Mediterranean dry grasslands (Scorzoneretalia villosae) 7220 *Petrifying springs with tufa formation (Cratoneurion) Calcareous and calcshist screes of the montane to alpine levels (Thlaspietea 8120 rotundifolii) 8130 Western mediterranean and thermophilous screes 8210 Calcareous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation 8220 Siliceous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation 91E0 * Alluvial forests with Alnus glutinosa and Fraxinus excelsior (Alno-Padion, 4 Alnion incanae, Salicion albae) Riparian mixed forests of Quercus robur, Ulmus laevis and Ulmus minor, 91F Fraxinus excelsior or Fraxinus angustifolia, along the great rivers (Ulmenion minoris) 9110 Luzulo-Fagetum beech forests 9130 Asperulo-Fagetum beech forests 91K0 Illyrian Fagus sylvatica forests (Aremonio-Fagion) 91L0 Illyrian oak-hornbeam forests (Erythronio-carpinion) 91W0 Moesian beech forest 9250 Quercus trojana woods 9260 Chestnut woods 9320 Olea and Ceratonia forests 9410 Acidophilous Picea forests of the montane to alpine level (Vaccinio-Piceetea) 9530 (Sub-) Mediterranean pine forests with endemic black pines 95A0 High Oromediterranean pine forests This list was produced on basis of extrapolation of existing data, published and data collected during filed research while their categorization of habitats was based on two main parameters, their rarity and vulnerability. Those were main characteristics for selection of listed types of habitats. This list (Table 1.) was referent for further mapping. For choosing of referent specie among several taxonomic groups (plants, moss, invertebrates, fish, amphibians and reptiles, birds, mammals and marine species and habitats) each expert study and assess the list of protected fungi, plant and animal species of Montenegro1. They also assess the lists that are noted in national reports for the Convention on Biological Diversity, in EMERALD network data basis in program of Biodiversity Monitoring. They additionally analyzed data basis for IPA (Important Plan Areas) and for IBA (Important Bird Areas) (bird and plant experts). Experts check each species IUCN Red List status (endangered or threatened) as well as analyze the ecological value of endemic species trough European scale. For the species with unreliable data of occurrence in Montenegro extra filed research were organized. Their work was based on following approach: a) Experts categorized species that are present in Montenegro and that are listed in Habitats and Bird Directive and those that are on Barcelona and Bon conventions. They overlap such list with those related to protected plant and animal species in MNE and with lists in Emerald, IBA an IPA data basis b) They made crosscut analysis among international and national data sets (lists) in order to produce draft list of species for each group. Final list of each species group is based on several criteria such are level of endemism, level of vulnerability, level of importance (on EU scale), IUCN Red List category, etc. 1 RJEŠENJE O STAVLJANJU POD ZAŠTITU POJEDINIH BILJNIH I ŽIVOTINJSKIH VRSTA, 2006. Službeni glasnik Crne Gore br. 76/06 5 c) Species that are protected under National Legislative and which population number is high and stabile are not included in following lists. The same situation is with those that are numerous in Balkan countries no matter if they are low in number in EU countries. d) Occurrence of some species in Montenegro is highly disputable and some field researches were done in MN related to verification of their existence. The species which are not reported for more than 40 years are not taken in consideration. e) For selecting of target species list related to mapping, 80 % of decision making process was based on published papers, documents, monographs, master and doctoral thesis, 10% was based on personal field experience while 10% was based on filed investigation during this project implementation. IN following tables they are lists of each group that served as a basis for further taxa mapping work. Table 2.
