Environmental Impact Assessment Study for 400 kV OHL SS Stip – Macedonian-Serbian Border3.8 Ecological Components, Biodiversity and Conservation Status3.8.1 IntroductionThere are number of habitats, plant communities, plant and animal species along the route ofthe transmission line.The route of the transmission line passes through a small part of an EMERALD area (OvcePole) and passes by the monuments of nature – MN Nemanjici (Sveti Nikole) and MN MladoNagoricane. The endemic plant Celtis tourneforti was registerd in MN Mlado Nagoricane,however the route of the transmission line is far from its habitat.The route of the transmission line crosses river Pcinja (the section between village Zubovceand RP 13). The valley of this river is a sub-regional bird migratory route and contributory tothe main migratory pattern in the Balkan Peninsula - Vardar – Morava corridor. Birds passalong this corridor during their migration between Northern Europe and Eastern Africa.The valorization of the botanic and fauna values is made according several internationalcriteria: (i) IUCN Red List of threatened Plant species (Walter and Gillet, 1998), (ii) EUHabitat Directive 92/43 EEC, (iii) Bern Convention & Bonn Convention, (iv) CORINE, (v)EMERALD, (vi) CITES etc.There are over 250 registered plant taxons (fall aspect), of different plant communities andhabitat types that evolve along the route of the transmission line. The overview of theregistered taxons is given in Annex 4. Among them, the following 3 Macedonian endemicspecies are considered to have greatest botanical value: (i) Salvia jurisicii Košanin, (ii)Verbascum lesnovoensis Micev. and (iii) Onobrychys megalophylla Boiss., and two speciesthat are on the world Red List: (i) (Salvia jurisicii Košanin and (ii) Alkanna pulmonariaGrisebach).The inventory of the fauna includes a larger number of invertebrats, mainly more aspectivegroups (butterflies, grasshoppers, dragons), other arthropods, snails and mussels, and allgroups of vertebrates (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. There is a large number ofspecies found on the above-mentioned list of significant species identified through thischapter of the study for evaluation of environmental impact.Detailed examination of the biodiversity of the area in question is given in the sector study inAnnex 3.3.8.2 BiomesAlong the route of the transmission line, the present habitats, plant communities, the floraand fauna could be included in three separate biomes:• Biome of the ponto-caspian steppes and forest-steppes (PCS)• Biome of Mediterranean semi deserts (MSD)• Biome of submediteranean-balkan forests (SBF)The description and characteristics of each biome is given in the sector study in Annex 3.81
Environmental Impact Assessment Study for 400 kV OHL SS Stip – Macedonian-Serbian Border3.8.3 Habitats, Flora and Fauna3.8.3.1 Biomes of Pontoon-Caspian Steppes and Forest-Steppes (PCS)(A)Plant communities and habitatsThe physiognomy of the biome in the subject area is defined by the steppe plant speciesChrysopogon gryllus, Dichanthium ischaemum, Festuca vallesiaca, Festuca callieri,Agropyron cristatum, and other herbaceous plant species, that are part of hilly pastures keptin small slopping surfaces (Chrysopogon gryllus comm.), which rise above the vast cornfields and industrial crops.(B)Flora - significant speciesFrom the flora in the PCS, It is important to point out the local endemic species (Salviajurisicii and Verbascum lesnovoensis), of which the Salvia jurisicii species is on the IUCNRed List (1998), and represents a Macedonian CORINE species. Therefore, they should besubject to special attention in terms of protection in all phases of design, construction andoperation of the transmission line.Salvia jurisicii Košanin – cutleaf sageThis is an endemic plant species, found on the World Red List, with very limited distributionin Republic of Macedonia, present only in the area between Stip and Sveti Nikole and thesite Orlovo Brdo (near Negotino). Over 70% of the total populationof this endemic species inRepublic of Macedonia is found in the area between Stip and Sveti Nikole. This species isregistered in two sites along the route - between RP1 and RP2 (Chardaklija Jankov-Rid), andbetween RP4 and RP5 (Dolna Kopa - between v. Vrsakovo and v. Sudic).Verbascum lesnovoensis Micev. – lesnovos mulleinThis is an endemic species with restricted distribution, present near Probistip-Zletovo,Kratovo and the surroundings of Sveti Nikole. It grows in regions with human activity, on hillypastures developed near farming land. During the field investigations, the following localitieswere registered along the route: section RP8 - RP9 (Cuculica - at altitude of the villageNemanjica) and section RP9 – RP10 (Shipo - above the village Orel: Nikoleva Niva-Kula).(C)Fauna-significant speciesThere is as a record of 44 species from the group of butterflies (Lepidoptera), of which 12species are of particular importance, and from them 4 are with higher, protective status(CORINE species) as well as species from the list of directives of the Council of Europe.Table - Analysis of more significant species of butterflies in the biome of the ponto-caspian steppesSpeciesGlobal ThreatStatus GTSEuropeanThreat StatusETSSPECPS-primespeciesCORINEBernConv.App.IIHab.
