• Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, I = Invertebrates, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
• S: in case that the data on species are sensitive and therefore have to be blocked for any public access enter: yes
• NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
• Type: p = permanent, r = reproducing, c = concentration, w = wintering (for plant and non-migratory species use permanent)
• Unit: i = individuals, p = pairs or other units according to the Standard list of population units and codes in accordance with Article 12 and 17 reporting (see reference portal)
• Abundance categories (Cat.): C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present - to fill if data are deficient (DD) or in addition to population size information
• Data quality: G = 'Good' (e.g. based on surveys); M = 'Moderate' (e.g. based on partial data with some extrapolation); P = 'Poor' (e.g. rough estimation); VP = 'Very poor' (use this category only, if not even a rough estimation of the population size can be made, in this case the fields for population size can remain empty, but the field "Abundance categories" has to be filled in)

Other Site Characteristics

Ambiente fluviale con greti, steppe fluviali, saliceti ripariali e boschi igrofili estesi e ben conservati. Tratti di Salicetum albae e di cenosi di Ranuncolion fluitantis. Presenza di ampi specchi lacustri con canneti e altra vegetazione ripariale. Accentuati fenomeni di dealpinismo.

4.2 Quality and importance

Complesso di habitat importante per specie ornitiche rare e localizzate, luogo di nidificazione e svernamento di numerose specie di uccelli. Ricca fauna di mammiferi, anfibi, rettili e pesci. Presenza di comunità vegetali rare o eterotopiche. Accentuati fenomeni di dealpinismo floristico. La presenza di alberi di grosse dimensioni favorisce l'insediamento di numerosi chirotteri forestali.
