Five distinct types of characteristic ecosystems, which are clearly distinguished from each other by the prevailing vegetation, are spread over the wider area of Konitsa. At low altitudes (375m to 700m) we find ecosystems of evergreen sclerophyll shrubs, higher up oak forest ecosystems (700m-1000m), at medium altitudes (1000m to 1600m) coniferous and beech forests, at high altitudes (1600m to 2000m) Heldreich’s pine forests (Robolo) and at higher altitudes (2000m-2637m) subalpine and alpine meadows. These ecosystems quite often spread over relatively large areas or form mixed sets, giving the form of a complex mosaic, whose individual units stand out from afar by the particular color of the foliage of the various trees that make it up.
