OTHERCHARACT:
The proposed site includes little-known Ukrainian and very incompletely explored areas of the Avash Mountains volcanic ridge bordering Romania - the southwestern outskirts of the Vygorlat-Hutyn ridge. The predominant areas of the mountains are typical natural, often of different ages, forest groups of the northern megaslope of the Volcanic Carpathians, which still retain their original features and are anthropogenically little transformed. Forests are formed mainly by pure and, less often, mixed beech forests. On the steep, often rocky slopes, small areas are occupied by maple and ash mixed with linden and elm forests. Significant parts of the ancient areas of these forests are of special value as massifs of still existing beech and mixed beech virgin forests, which are usually confined to the higher hypsometric heights of the ridge, where they are preserved mainly on hard-to-reach, apical areas of steep and very steep slopes. Today it is one of the last remnants of virgin forests on the Vigorlat-Gutyn volcanic ridge within Ukraine. The virgin forests in the Avash Mountains are of exceptional conservation importance as unique primary natural areas that have survived in one of the most developed and ancient anthropogenically transformed regions.Particular attention should be paid to forests on the steep and very steep southern slopes of single mountains, where the predominant areas are mixed beech, beech-ash-maple and linden-maple-ash forests. Areas of mixed ancient beech-oak forests are of special interest and exceptional value.The vegetation is characterized by single volcanic domes with very steep slopes, where large areas are still occupied by ancient beech and mixed beech, oak-beech and beech-oak forests, which are important for conservation. In the southern warmest apical areas, pure oak forests were found, forming a rare for the Ukrainian Carpathians group of light dry oak forests with a predominance of thermophilic species in the grass cover, as well as a small array of very rare and unique for the Ukrainian Carpathians biotope of Central European thermophiles. high plant diversity and growth of many rare species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine Areas of groups of thermophilic oak forests in the Avash Mountains, preserved only in small areas, have a relict character.Despite their small size, all large Carpathian predators sporadically occur in the Avash Mountains - wolf, lynx, brown bear, wild cat, so this area is extremely important for their preservation and provision of cross-border migration routes.Along with the unparalleled value of the massif as a site representing both typical and endangered relict forest natural complexes, coenotic and biotope diversity of the northern megaslope of the eastern part of the Avash Mountains, a significant center of species diversity of this mountain range, the designed site is an important territory) of the ecological network in the conditions of the developed and densely populated region of the Marmarosh basin and acts as a connecting link between mountain and plain natural complexes.

OTHERCHARACT:
The proposed site represents the unique territories of the transboundary Ukrainian-Hungarian floodplain forest complex, where elm-ash groves formed in the conditions of periodic flooding are still preserved. Of exceptional importance are the remnants of alder-ash forests preserved in the massif with the transition to pure alders, today almost extinct in the Pannonian region of Ukraine and contact with them middle forest swamps and marshes. The array is a significant center of species diversity, including and rare species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine and in the regional red list of species. The forest tract is an important geospatial node (key territory) of the ecological network in the conditions of the developed and densely populated region. In this perspective, the massif acquires special significance as part of the cross-border Ukrainian-Hungarian natural object, the Hungarian part of which is a protected object (protected landscape area) and forms one of the few in the Pannonian region powerful nodes connecting Ukraine's eco-network with Hungary's eco-network.

Landscapes of the Southern Bug river valley in the vicinity of Voznesensk are mainly represented by steppes and scrubs on valley slopes, sandy grasslands on the sand terrace, riverbed and floodplain. Also large steppe gulleys with limestone outcrops are included to the site.Zonal steppes are dominated by Agropyron pectinatum, Festuca valesiaca, Stipa capillata, Stipa lessingiana, Galatella villosa. There are Caragana scythica, Genista scythica, Tulipa biebersteiniana, Crocus reticulatus and other rare plant species of the steppes. Also, well-preserved steppe vegetation on limestone outcrops is distributed on the site. This vegetation is characteristic for Black Sea Lowland. Sands and sandy grasslands are important for the conservation of rare and endemic species: Stipa borysthenica, Alyssum savranicum, Thymus pallasianus, Jurinea cyanoides, Allium savranicum. Floodplain meadows, which are rare for the Steppic region, were well-presented in the site before. Now they are almost totally lost due to grassland removal for arable lands (up to 90% of floodplain areas are transformed into fields) and creation of large reservoirs in upper parts of Southern Bug river valley (this caused lack of spring floodings, increasing of water salinity and other changes). Also, other great threat to the existence of the object is afforestation. Artificial forests occupy up to 95% of the territory, which was covered by sandy vegetation before, and up to 40% of the territory of zonal steppes.

OTHERCHARACT:
The site includes territories around the tracts of Kanaka and Kamyshly, as well as the adjacent marine area. The Kanaka gulch (and the tract of the same name) originates on the southeastern slopes of the Karabi-Yaila massif and opens into the Black Sea four kilometers northeast of the village Rybache. The tract "Kanaka" refers to the belt of coastal xerophytic juniper-oak forests and shrubbery. Here, in the coastal strip up to 300-350 m, the ancient Mediterranean flora has been preserved.The climate of the region is arid with hot summers and very mild winters. In the Kanaka gulch along the steep erosion slopes of Mount Yantur, a unique grove of relic juniper-oak woodland with a Pistacia mutica Fisch. has been preserved. With an increase in altitude in richer edaphic conditions, Quercus pubescens dominates in these hemixerophytic woodlands. Old-growth trees of Juniperus excelsa Bieb. listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, reach 300-400 years within the proposed site, and several hundred individual trees are 600-800 years of age, and therefore are of great scientific interest. Juniper-pistachio woodland descends along the slope of the mountain to the sea. Aligned plateau-like peaks of the ridge sections are the mountain steppe formed on the site of a forest cut down here in the past. This unique old-growth forest has been preserved due to the presence of strongly eroded, steep slopes, the absence of access roads in the past, the abundance of talus and the availability of other forests around marine coastal villages. At the mouth of the gulch  there is an extensive bay of about 3 km wide. It is bordered by a sand and gravel-pebble beach, which feeds on solid material coming during floods from the gulch channel. Steep slopes, ridges, descend to the beach, landslide, are washed away by surface runoff. Loams are underlain by the tauric stratum of interbedded sandstones and shales. Boulder-pebble deposits cover the seabed near the shore at the top of the bay, closer to capes they are replaced by boulder-block deposits, which in places alternate with continuous outcrops of sandstone and schists in the form of large flat plates. In the study area, algal vegetation develops on a solid substrate (boulder and block-boulder bulk), local areas with loose soils are devoid of vegetation. At depths of up to 3 m, Phaeophyta dominates the biomass (6-98%): the community of Cystoseira crinita that grows on boulders requires special protection. From 5 m and deeper, dominance passes to the Rhodophyta, primarily due to the massive growth of Phyllophora crispa.

As a result of splitting an Annex I habitat to more than one Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat it is not possible to recalculate a ‘true’ Representativity score.The following Annex I habitat(s) were fully translated into a Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat: Annex I habitat 4030 European dry heaths translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat F4.2 Dry heaths; Annex I habitat 5130 Juniperus communis formations on heaths or calcareous grasslands translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat F3.16 Juniperus communis scrub; Annex I habitat 6210 Semi-natural dry grasslands and scrubland facies on calcareous substrates (Festuco-Brometalia) (* important orchid sites) translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat E1.2 Perennial calcareous grassland and basic steppes; Annex I habitat 6410 Molinia meadows on calcareous, peaty or clayey-silt-laden soils (Molinion caeruleae) translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat E3.5 Moist or wet oligotrophic grassland; Annex I habitat 7130 Blanket bogs (* if active bog) translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat D1.2 Blanket bogs; Annex I habitat 8120 Calcareous and calcshist screes of the montane to alpine levels (Thlaspietea rotundifolii) translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat H2.4 Temperate-montane calcareous and ultra-basic screes; Annex I habitat 8210 Calcareous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat H3.2 Basic and ultra-basic inland cliffs; Annex I habitat 8240 Limestone pavements translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat H3.511 Limestone pavements; Annex I habitat 9180 Tilio-Acerion forests of slopes, screes and ravines translated into Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitat G1.A4 Ravine and slope woodland.The following Annex I habitats have a many to many relationship between Annex I habitats and Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitats. In effect, at least one of the Annex I features is split, and then part of the split is merged with the translation of another Annex I feature: Annex I habitats 7220 Petrifying springs with tufa formation (Cratoneurion) and 7230 Alkaline fens were translated to Resolution No. 4 (1996) habitats C2.12 Hard water springs and D4.1 Rich fens, including eutrophic tall-herb fens and calcareous flushes and soaks. This means the relationship between these Annex I and Resolution No. 4 (1996) features is very complex. It was not possible to divide the area of the Annex I habitats between the Resolution No. 4 (1996) EUNIS habitats to which the Annex I habitats have been translated.
