- PF: for the habitat types that can have a non-priority as well as a priority form (6210, 7130, 9430) enter "X" in the column PF to indicate the priority form.
- NP: in case that a habitat type no longer exists in the site enter: x (optional)
- Cover: decimal values can be entered
- Caves: for habitat types 8310, 8330 (caves) enter the number of caves if estimated surface is not available.
- 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)
3.2 Species referred to in Article 4 of Directive 2009/147/EC and listed in Annex II of Directive 92/43/EEC and site evaluation for them
- 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)
3.3 Other important species of flora and fauna (optional)
- Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, Fu = Fungi, I = Invertebrates, L = Lichens, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
- CODE: for Birds, Annex IV and V species the code as provided in the reference portal should be used in addition to the scientific name
- 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)
- 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)
- Cat.: Abundance categories: C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present
- Motivation categories: IV, V: Annex Species (Habitats Directive), A: National Red List data; B: Endemics; C: International Conventions; D: other reasons

Other Site Characteristics
| Gauja National Park (Gauja NP) was founded for protection of the primeval valley of the Gauja River and its tributaries - a unique complex of natural and cultural values. Gauja NP is located in the extensive raised bog and coniferous forest geobotanical region of North Vidzeme moraine plain. Gauja River ancient valley forms a central part of Gauja NP. It is considered to be a distinctive area representing one of 3 divisions of the North Vidzeme geobotanical region. The valley is notable for its prevailing broad-leafed (Querco-Fagetea) and mixed broad-leafed forests, a remarkable amount of vascular plant species within such a comparatively small area, mosaic-like location of phytocenosis, and the history of flora and fauna under the anthropogenic influence. Besides, the valleys of Gauja River and its tributary valleys are areas comprising places of concentration of rare flora species and migration paths. According to the Law on Gauja National Park (in force since 01.01.2000) the territory of Gauja NP is divided into five functional zones: strict nature reserves (4%), restricted nature areas (31%), neutral zone (18%), landscape protection zone (44%) and zone of cultural and historical value (3%). |
4.2 Quality and importance
| There are located at least 16 habitats listed in Annex II of Habitats Directive - 5 types of forests, 2 types of raised bogs and mires and fens, 2 types of natural and semi-natural grassland formations, 4 types of freshwater habitats and 3 types of rocky habitats and caves. Main qualifying features are 9010* Western taiga, 9180* Tilio-Acerion forests on slopes, screes and ravines, 7160 Fennoscandian mineral rich springs and spring fens, 8220 Siliceous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation, 91E0* Alluvial forests with Alnus glutinosa and Fraxinus excelsior, 7110 Active raised bogs, 7140 Transitional mires and quaking bogs, 3130 Oligotrophic to mesotrophic standing waters with vegetation of the Littorelletea uniflorae and/or Isoeto- Nanojuncetea, 3150 Natural eutrophic lakes with Magnopotamion or Hydrocharitiontype vegetation, 3160 Natural dystrophic lakes and ponds, 3260 Water courses of plain to monatne levels with the., 3270 Rivers with muddy banks with Chenopodion rubri p.p. and Bidention p.p. vegetation, 6210 Semi-natural dry grasslands and scrubland facies on calcareous substrates, 6510 Lowland hay meadows, 8310 Caves.Gauja NP hosts 341 (202 animal, e.g. Lycaena dispar; Euphydryas aurinia; Xylomoia strix; Aquila pomarina; Crex crex; Bubo bubo; Dendrocopus leucotus and Lutra lutra; 121 plant e.g. Agrimonia pilosa; Pulsatilla patens; Cypripedium calceolus and Drepanocladus vernicosus; and 18 fungi) species of national and European importance. |
