INTERCHANGE-TUNNEL KVANJ Habitats, Vegetation and Invasive Plant Species 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project background In June 2020 ENOVA was commissioned to undertake Environmental and Social Assessment for EBRD: Lenders Advisory Services for Bosnia and Herzegovina Corridor Vc in FBiH –part 3 (Tranche II), relating to the Corridor Vc subsection Mostar South-Tunnel Kvanj. The results of the previous gap analysis for biodiversity found that supplementary biodiversity information would be required, so that an informed assessment of sensitive habitats and biodiversity features could be undertaken. The supplementary information has been gathered through both rapid field surveys and an up-to-date desk study. The following field surveys have been undertaken and will form an Annex to the final Environmental and Social Assessment Report: § Annex A: Habitats, vegetation and invasive species § Annex B: Invertebrates § Annex C: Vertebrates o Annex C-1: Fish (desk study) o Annex C-2: Herpetology (amphibians and reptiles) o Annex C-3: Ornithology o Annex C-4: Mammals – Bats o Annex C-5: Mammals – Large mammals (desk study). This report provides the results of the habitats, vegetation and invasive plant species field survey. 1.2 Site locations According to the Preliminary Design1, the 9.2 km long subsection Mostar South-Tunnel Kvanj is the northern part of the Section Mostar South-Buna. The subsection begins with the Mostar South interchange and ends with the entrance into Tunnel Kvanj. The interchange is located near the Mostar Airport, and represents the intersection of the motorway with the existing main road M6.1 by connecting the motorway. After the interchange, the alignment is located in the immediate vicinity of the Mostar Airport where a tunnel (Mostar Jug Tunnel L= 232 m) beneath the airport is envisaged to accommodate the development of an additional runway. After exiting this tunnel, the alignment follows the existing railway Mostar-Capljina in a very narrow 32 m corridor to the south. After the interchange, the route passes parallel with the Mostar Airport runway towards settlement Ortijes, Laksevine and Kosor. The alignment then follows the auxiliary airport runway at a distance of 35-45m, crossing agricultural fields in Ortijes. The subsection further crosses the Buna River by Buna Bridge (L=326m), passes through agriculture areas of Malo Polje, crosses the Bunica River with a bridge (L=211m) and a viaduct (Viaduct Brijeg L=258 m) which leads to the Hodbina Hill and further to the entrance of Tunnel Kvanj.2 The subsection ends at chainage 9+125+000 km. 1.3 Report aim and objectives The main aim of this assignment is to provide a written report to inform the ESIA Disclosure Package and Biodiversity Management Plan. In order to achieve this aim, this report has been written to satisfy the following objectives: § Provide the methodology and results of the rapid field survey 1 Preliminary Design and Study for Obtaining Urban Permit for the Motorway Section on Corridor Vc, Mostar South-Buna, developed in April 2018 by IPSA Institute Sarajevo 2 Tunnel Kvanj is not part of the subsection Mostar South-Tunnel Kvanj 3 CORRIDOR Vc IN FBIH: SECTION MOSTAR SOUTH INTERCHANGE-TUNNEL KVANJ Habitats, Vegetation and Invasive Plant Species § Evaluate project area and project area of influence for the likely presence of sensitive species/species of conservation concern § Recommend preconstruction surveys, additional mitigation and/or monitoring only if required. 2 METHODOLOGY 2.1 Survey background The survey was conducted by Nermina Sarajlic, MSc, PhD student of botany and plant ecology who currently works as an ecologist in Ornithological Society “Nase ptice”. She participated in numerous projects and studies on plant ecology in Bosnia and Herzegovina, mostly for urban habitats, alien plant species as well as plant ecology in karst regions and wetlands. The field survey was undertaken on 3-5 June 2020. On June 3, the weather was warm, with slight rain in the afternoon. On June 4, it was warm and sunny, and on June 5, it was moderate in the morning, with heavy rain in the afternoon and evening. 2.2 Methodology The vegetation surveys were undertaken on 32 sample points (Figure 1). For each sample point, GPS coordinates were recorded by NAVIGON mobile application, where present plant species and the type of vegetation were identified. The species were identified in the field, or, if that was not possible, specimens were collected and/or photographed in detail, to be identified later using the relevant botanical literature.

  • Biodiversity of the Water Reservoirs in the Vicinity of Usje Marl Quarry
    Biodiversity of the Water Reservoirs in the Vicinity of Usje Marl Quarry S.Petkovski, (1); I.Mastoris, (2); N.B.Kormusoska, (3); (1) NGO BIOECO Skopje, Republic of Macedonia (2) TITAN Cement Company S.A., Athens, Greece (3) Cementarnica “Usje” A.D., Skopje, Republic of Macedonia [email protected] Abstract In line with the activities of WBCSD/CSI task force on biodiversity, Titan uses specific tools for screening Group quarries versus areas of high biodiversity value, like the EMERALD network of Macedonia. The water reservoirs (artificial lakes) inside the Usje Marl Quarry, in proximity with the Titan Cement Plant Usje (Skopje, Macedonia), were gradually ‘formed’ in the 1980’s, after excavating closed pits inside the mine plan area. Freshwater supply to these confined water bodies is due to precipitation and surface rainwater inflows. Plant and animal species have inhabited the area, including the lakes, by natural processes, except the fish stocking that was made by the sport fishermen employed with Usje. Currently, the area more or less resembles a natural wetland ecosystems. By initiative of Usje, and in line with Titan’s Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, an Investigation Study on Hydrology, Hydrogeology & Biodiversity was conducted. This paper is going to present findings and recommendations of the investigation related to biodiversity. Besides the check lists of recorded species, for certain taxonomic groups a “potential list of species” was prepared, as a tool for evaluation of the quality of habitats. Despite the inevitable environmental degradation, the degree to which the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and associated species have survived, even in a modified and reduced state, is surprising.

However it has been abandoned as an area of lepidopterological studies for a long time. A total number of 80 butterfly species were recorded during inventory studies (2005-2008), which proved the occurrence of 80 species (81.6% of species recorded in the Mazovia voivodeship and about half of Polish fauna), including 7 from the European Red Data Book and 15 from the national red list (8 protected by law). Several xerothermophilous species have probably become extinct in the last few decadesColias ( myrmidone, Pseudophilotes vicrama, Melitaea aurelia, Hipparchia statilinus, H. alcyone), or are endangered in the KNP and in the region (e.g. Maculinea arion, Melitaea didyma), due to afforestation and spontaneous succession. Higrophilous butterflies have generally suffered less from recent changes in land use, but action to stop the deterioration of their habitats is urgently needed.

  • Nota Lepidopterologica
    ©Societas Europaea Lepidopterologica; download unter http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/ und www.zobodat.at Nota lepid. 23 (2): 1 19-140; 01.VIL2000 ISSN 0342-7536 Comparative data on the adult biology, ecology and behaviour of species belonging to the genera Hipparchia, Chazara and Kanetisa in central Spain (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) Enrique Garcia-Barros Department of Biology (Zoology), Universidad Autönoma de Madrid, E-28049 Madrid, Spain, e-mail: [email protected] Summary. The potential longevity, fecundity, mating frequencies, behaviour, and sea- sonal reproductive biology were studied in several satyrine butterflies belonging to the genera Hipparchia, Chazara and Kanetisa, in an area located in central Spain. All the species studied appear to be potentially long-lived, and a relatively long period of pre- oviposition is shown to occur in C. briseis and K. circe. Potential fecundity varies between 250 and 800 eggs depending on the species (with maxima exceeding 1300 eggs in K. circe). The results are discussed in terms of the possible ecological relationships between adult ecological traits and the species abundance, and the possibility of a marked geographic variation between species, that might be of interest in relation to specific management and conservation. Zusammenfassung. Für mehrere Vertreter der Gattungen Hipparchia, Chazara und Kanetisa (Satyrinae) wurden in einem Gebiet in Zentralspanien potentielle Lebensdauer, potentielle Fekundität, Paarungshäufigkeiten im Freiland und saisonaler Verlauf der Reproduktionstätigkeit untersucht. Alle untersuchten Arten sind potentiell langlebig, eine relativ lange Präovipositionsperiode tritt bei C. briseis und K circe auf. Die potentielle Fekundität variiert je nach Art zwischen 250 und 800 Eiern (mit einem Maximum von über 1300 Eiern bei K circe).

This is a multi-purpose fruit tree and besides its fresh edible fruits, is used in diverse ways because they have distinct taste and aroma. Edible fruits of wild apricots has been using from the past till now as dry fruit, process into jam, marmalade, fruit juice etc. in Turkey. Traditional uses and drying of apricot fruits have been found to be of great significance in the socio-economy of local people of these areas. The bitter seeds of wild grown apricots are valuable material for pharmacology to treat cancer. In Turkey, all apricot cultivars are grafted on seedlings obtained from wild apricot seeds. More recently in particular wild grown apricot fruits have been gaining more importance particularly in fruit juice industry in Turkey and there were growing interest to its juices because of its better sugar/acidity balance than cultivated apricots. Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) marker was employed first time to analyse genetic diversity of 57 seed propagated early-maturated wild grown apricot genotypes sampled from different parts of Sakit valley in Mediterranean Region of Turkey.

Signature:…………………………….. iii UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX Maria Djolai Ph.D. Development Studies WHEN THE ROOFTOPS BECAME RED AGAIN: POST-WAR COMMUNITY DYNAMICS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Summary My thesis explores post-war community formation following the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995), the deadliest European violent conflict since WWII. The study draws on 18 months of fieldwork and mixed methods data collection in two small towns, Stolac in Southern Herzegovina and Kotor Varoš in Northern Bosnia, which were exposed to intense violence. The thesis uses the concept of community as analytical optic to avoid ethnic “groupism” perspective, which so often obscures the complexity of social relations and the dynamics of communal life in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
