Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, I = Invertebrates, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles

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

Aste fluviali dell'Aterno e del Sagittario, con numrerosi fossi e alcuni piccoli stagni, a monte di Popoli, con ricca vegetazione acquatica. Nel sito è compreso anche il breve corso del fiume Giardino. L'area sorgentifera di Capo Pescara è la più importante dell'Abruzzo, con decine di polle che formano un limpido specchio lacustre-palustre. Varie sono le comunità di idrofite e di elofite. Il sito per le sue caratteristiche ecologiche viene attribuito alla regione biogeografica mediterranea anche se ricade per il 57% nella regione alpina all'interno dei 7 Km di buffer.

4.2 Quality and importance

L'elevata eterogeneità ambientale legata all'ambiente fluviale e zone circostanti favorisce la dinamica di molte popolazioni di uccelli. Notevole è la diversità paesaggistica. Valore elevato per la fauna ittica. Altissima è la ricchezza di invertebrati. Importante anche il valore didattico per la rappresentatività di alcuni habitat.
