N 40 41.863 885 m 02-Sept-11 TAP Section: Eastern Transitional woodland shrubland, generally dominated by Oriental hornbeam (Carpinus orientalis), extends in a large part of this WP, close to the Cangonji village. A strong human impact is associated with this habitat as a result of cutting, intensive grazing. Other species of this habitat type are shrubs, such as Common hazel (Corylus avellana), Marron (Castanea sativa), European black pine (Pinus nigra), Hop hornbeam (Ostrya carpinifolia), Prickly juniper (Juniperus oxycedrus), Common juniper (J. communis), Elmleaf blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius), Common hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna), Dog rose (Rosa canina) etc. Some areas of former agriculture land near this WP, which were abandoned 15-20 years ago, now support semi-natural grasslands.
