Code	PF	NP	Cover [ha]	Cave [number]	Data quality	A|B|C|D	A|B|C
						Representativity	Relative Surface	Conservation	Global
8220			4.6	0.00	G	B	C	A	B

• 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

Ekhultebergen - (The Ekhult mountains) are situated in the southern parts of Östergötland. The surrounding landscape is hilly and characterised by long rift valleys. Ekhultebergen consist of a large area of old coniferous forests with elements of marshland forests and bogs. In the western part of the area there is a huge precipice right next to Lake Åkervristen. Parts of the forest has been untouched for a very long time and here is a great deal of dead wood with all the flora and fauna belonging to it. The area has also a valuable bird life.Ekhultebergen is under construction to be a nature reserve during the year of 2000.

4.2 Quality and importance

Ekhultebergen is a very valueable site with unique species connected to old and undisturbed coniferous forest. In the site a relatively large number of really old trees are found. A great number of national threatened species have been found in the area (only threatcategory 1 and 2 are delivered in the base). The site is partly of national interest in culture.
