Quality and importance: traditional agricultural-pastoral relic landscape, where especially the wide expanse of arid steppe-like meadows stands out, hosting some very interesting flower rarities.
Some rare species are also connected with the traditional cultivations.
Vulnerability: The area still has an optimal balance between anthropic presence and environmental quality. The risk is that at the gradual abandonment leads to a further reduction in the amount of arid meadows to the advantage of the not very significant arid woods.
Types of priority habitats of community interest (Annex I of the Habitats Directive):
