- 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)

Other Site Characteristics
A former fresh water tidal estuary (tide of about 2 m), closed off from the sea in 1970. Nowadays a freshwater wetland with little tidal influence (20 cm) (only in the Sliedrechtse Biesbosch more tidal influence, up to 80 cm) with marshes and Salix woodlands. |
4.2 Quality and importance
One of the seven most important sites for the habitat type Xeric sand calcareous grasslands (6120). One of the five most important sites for the habitat type Eutrophic tall herbs (6430, subtype (Epilobion hirsuti including the key species Althaea officinalis). One of the five most important sites for the habitat type Alluvial forests (91E0, subtype Salicion albae).Only known site with the moss Orthotrichum rogeri. The site holds one of the four most important populations of the vole Microtus oeconomus arenicola of the SW. Netherlands metapopulation. The site regularly supports more than 20,000 wintering waterbirds (1991/92-1995-96)Important for breeding birds (esp. Circus aeruginosus and Luscinia svecica) and for wintering waterfowl. New IBA 40-00 (vanden Tempel & Osieck, 1994). Castor fiber has been re-introduced successfully. Extremely rich in fish species, at least 8 threatened fish species occur. |
