TONI NIKOLIČ Section II: Important Plant Area identification and data analysis Globally threatened Degenia velebitica found only on the Velebit mountain range in Croatia and depicted on the 50 lipa coin. 12 No. and Size of IPAs In each country the majority of IPAs are between 1000 and 10,000 hectares. Macedonia and Montenegro contain fewer smaller IPAs. Bulgaria Croatia Macedonia Montenegro FYR No.of IPAs 125 97 42 27 Area ( ha) 1,721,248 964,655 459,425 708,606 Table 1. Number and area of IPAs in the SEE project countries Size range of IPA (ha) Bulgaria Croatia Macedonia Montenegro Total FYR
Qualifying criteria for IPAs The majority of IPAs qualify with more than one criterion: 205 IPAs qualify based on the presence of threatened species (criterion A), 270 on the presence of threatened habitats (criterion C) and 82 for species richness (criterion B). Most IPAs also have more than one qualifying feature ie. more than one A species or C habitat even though one is sufficient. For example Bistra Mountain (Macedonia FYR) has 19 IPA qualifying features but Cesargradska Mountain (Croatia) and Devisha (Bulgaria) have only one each. IPAs with Criterion A threatened species 205 IPAs (70%) in the project countries were identified using Criterion A (the presence of significant populations of threatened species) as the qualifying criteria, these are broken down into sub categories in the table below. 378 threatened species are present within the 291 IPAs in the project countries, and these have been recorded a total of 997 times across all sites.

IPAs containing criterion A threatened <strong>plant</strong> and fungus species in the SEE project countries Ai = global threat;Aii = regional threat;Aiii = threatened national endemic;Aiv = threatened near endemic/limited range; HD = Habitats Directive; BC= Bern Convention. 155 threatened species are present in only one IPA in the four project countries, such as the globally threatened Tulipa rhodopaea on one IPA in Bulgaria and the endemic Nepeta ernesti-mayeri in Macedonia. Five species of Campanula (bellflower) and ten species of Verbascum (mullein) are also recorded on only one IPA, two of the many genera showing remarkable speciation in the region. 333 threatened species are present on fewer than 5 IPAs in the four project countries, for example Degenia velebitica and Aquilega kitaibelii are found on only two sites in Croatia and globally threatened Daphne malyana on four sites in Montenegro. Many other species are found on less than 10 sites: the regionally threatened Gomphus calactus ( Pig’s Ear Mushroom) and Cypripidium calceolus ( Lady’s Slipper orchid) – both found on five sites.That so many species are confined to a small number of IPAs, is a reflection of the high levels of speciation and local endemicity present in the region, and the potentially precarious situation for many of these species should the integrity of the IPAs be threatened. Criterion A species present on the EU Habitats Directive lead to the qualification of less than 40% of IPAs, compared to 55 % of IPAs qualifying through the presence of threatened near endemic/limited range species (endemic to the Balkan region).The annexes of the Habitats Directive do not VLADIMIR STEVANOVIĆ Endemic of the south east Dinaric Alps, Daphne malyana inhabits limestone rock crevices. 13
