• 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)

Habitat class	% Cover
N07	40.00
N11	40.00
N22	20.00
Total Habitat Cover	100

Other Site Characteristics

Södra Gardfjällets central parts are made up of distinct alpine mountains. A dramatic landscape strongly influenced by glacial erosion often with very steep mountain sides. Another example of glacial erosion is Grantonskalet a gorge-like valley. The reserve includes surrounding forest of sub-alpine and western taiga types, the latter mainly dominated by spruce. The human impact in these forest is very limited. There are also a number of large lakes situated north and west of the mountains. Other features are serpentine mountains with Rhododendron lapponicum and narrow gorges. Human presence/influence: There are set facilities for reindeer herding such as fences and huts on the mountain. Furthermore there is a snow mobile track in the western part and a number walking trails for the public.

4.2 Quality and importance

Vast areas with a large variation and many representative habitats of the Swedish alpine region. Low human impact.
