- 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
Engure Lake Nature park includes the largest ancient lagoon lake in Latvia (3500 ha). Up to 40% of whole area of the lake are covered by reedbeds formed mainly by Phragmites australis, Typha angustifolia and Typa latifolia. Still quite remarkable areas are covered by different Chara sp. stands. The lake is surrounded mainly by pine forests on the eastern side and by mixed forests on the western side. There are several oldgrowth forest compartments in the forests on the western side. There are several old-growth forest compartments in the coastal area consisting of pines more than 140 years old. More than 800 vascular plant species are recorded in this area. Altogether 185 bird species are breeding there. Rare rich fen vegetation has developed in the depressions on previous lake sediments on the eastern part lake (Natura 2000 habitat codes: 7210, 7230). There are also coastal meadows near Mersrags. |
4.2 Quality and importance
Main qualifying features are 3140, 2180, 7230, 7210, 1210, 1150,1630. Qualifying species are Dytiscus latissimus, Leucorrhinia pectoralis, Vertigo angustior, Vertigo genesii, Vertigo geyeri, Graphoderus bilineatus, Liparis loeselii, Dianthus arenarius arenarius, Linaria loeselii, Pulsatilla patens, Triturus cristatus, Lutra lutra, Myotis dasycneme, Lampetra planeri, Cobitis taenia, Misgurnus fossilis, Cottus gobio, Rhodeus sericeus amarus. Engure Lake is a Ramsar site since 1995 and IBA since 1989. Offshore area is a part of the site of HELCOM Convention. |
