FIGURE 1 Geographical location of sampling sites throughout the
Troodos mountain range in Cyprus (top panel) and distribution of the
main five forest habitat types (bottom panel). Sampling sites and forest
habitat distribution are coloured as follows:
Pb,
Pinus
brutia (light green);
Qa,
Quercus alnifolia (orange);
Cb,
Cedrus brevifolia (blue);
Pn,
Pinus
nigra (black);
Jn,
Juniperus foetidissima (purple). Top
panel: Background map displays elevation at 90 m resolution (SRTM
Digital Elevation Data,

Bottom panel: Data from the Department of Forests (Ministry of
Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, Republic of Cyprus;
https://www.data.gov.cy/).
Green hatched areas represent zones where
Pinus brutia (light
green) forests are present according to our own surveys but whose extent
has not been mapped in the publicly available cartography, likely
because they are the result of plantations, have been affected by fires,
and/or present very low tree densities.
