Kermes oaks

Σημεία ενδιαφέροντος: Παλιό μονοπάτι που προσφέρει καλή θέα προς τον Κόλπο Μόρφου. Συνδέεται με το δίκτυο μονοπατιών της περιοχής και συγκεκριμένα: Δόξα σοι ο Θεός - Μούττη της Χώρας, Μαδαρή - Σελλάδι του Καραμανλή και Σελλάδι του Καραμανλή - Καννάβια . Το μονοπάτι περνά μέσα από δάσος τραχείας πεύκης και λατζιάς το γνωστό ως «Μαύρα Δάση» που είναι από τα πιο παρθένα, χωρίς ανθρώπινη επέμβαση δάση. Στο μέσο της διαδρομής υπάρχει άλλο μικρού μήκους μονοπάτι με πρόσβαση προς μια γιγαντιαία περνιά Quercus coccifera ssp. calliprinos.

Kermes oak
http://www.dict.cc/english-german/kermes oak [Quercus coccif...

The Kermes Oak (Quercus coccifera) is an oak in the turkey oak section Quercus sect. Cerris. It is native to the western Mediterranean region, from Morocco and Portugal east to Greece.

It is a large shrub, rarely a small tree, reaching 1-6 m tall (rarely to 10 m) and 50 cm trunk diameter. It is evergreen, with spiny-serrated leaves 1.5-4 cm long and 1-3 cm broad. The acorns are 2-3 cm long and 1.5-2 cm diameter when mature about 18 months after pollination, held in a cup covered in dense, elongated, reflexed scales.

Περίληψη
Kermes oak (Quercus coccifera L.) shrublands are valuable land resources in Greece. Despite their low commercial value in terms of wood production they are important feeding resources for domestic and wild animals, provide fuel to local people of remote areas, and play significant role in preventing soil erosion. The complexity and stability of kermes oak ecosystems are approached in this research by analysing the components of floristic diversity. Four shrubland sub-types were identified in northern Greece according to their scaling to shrub density.
