B. Fauna Cap Bon Ss an importact site for migraticg raptors (Sectioc 2.4) acd tnacy stop to rest on Dj. Sidi Abder Rahmace. Common fauna of Cap Boc are listed kn Section 4 (~ouvernorat of ~abeul). C. Influences Dj. Sfdi Abder Rahmane is unfnhabited and timber harvesting is not allowed, but grazicg is heavy and vegetetioc cutting is not uncommon. The high precipitation rates make the slopes sensitive to erosion when the vegeta tion cover is removed.
3.4.4. Mouctairs of the High Steppe Between the Tucisiac Dorsal and the chotts are macy scattered moantaic chains ic the high steppe. Some of the chains are ac extecsioc of the Saharac Atlas (IUCN 1987). The geceral oriectatioc of the rnosctaic chairs is E-W along the cortherc border of the chotts, acd NE-SkI near the Tuniskan Dorsal. Varyicg in altitude from 600 m to over 1100 rn, the mouctaics are gecerally rocky (calcareous) acd eroded. Low precipitation rates and ac iclacd locatioc give the mozntains Semi-arid to Arid bioclimates. Most of the rair falls ic wicter cloudbursts ar.d storms, which causes much of the water to rx off the surface into aeasocal streams. This runoff leaves less water for vegetatioc grbwth and iccreases erosioc problems. Vegetation. Formerly maKy of the moactaics were forested to aleppo pine. Today Inbst of the pice has disappeared, leavicg or-lp relics of the original forest with a few pice trees acd a garrjgae of Juci~erJs hoecicea. Ir geceral, the vegetation associatiors of the degraded :metair. forest ecosystems icclude (ORSTOO 1966 2) : Jaciperzs phoenicea Globularia alypm Cecista cicerea Lavacdula maltifida Periploca laevigata or, or the high plateazs: Phymcs algerietsi s Fanace thymif olia Ebecus piccata Phagcaloc x- pestr re Tslipa silvestris s. australis Rosmaricus officicalis Globalaria aly~n Cistas libacotis Ebecus piccata Helianthemum semi glabr~n Famaca thymifolia Thymelea tarton-raira F. ericoides Aveca bromoides Astragalus iccacus cammularizm Ic the regioc of Sidi Bou Zid - Cafsa, the forest relics ofter coctaic: Olea ezropaea oleaster Jasmican fsuticzcs Pistacia atlactica Prasian ma jus Fumana laevipes Aspleniam adiactam cigrum Phillyrea angustifolia media Interspersed in the forest relic associatiocs and domicating the vegetation of some of the mouctaics is esparto grass Stipa tenacissima.
