3.1 Habitat types present on the site and assessment for them

Annex I Habitat types						Site assessment
Code	PF	NP	Cover [ha]	Cave [number]	Data quality	A|B|C|D	A|B|C
						Representativity	Relative Surface	Conservation	Global
7140			1.1	0.00	G	A	C	A	B
7230			36.1	0.00	G	A	C	A	B
9010			3.6	0.00	G	A	C	B	B
9080			2.5	0.00	G	B	C	B	B
91D0			24.08	0.00	G	A	C	B	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

Species					Population in the site						Site assessment
G	Code	Scientific Name	S	NP	T	Size		Unit	Cat.	D.qual.	A|B|C|D	A|B|C
						Min	Max				Pop.	Con.	Iso.	Glo.
P	1528	Saxifraga hirculus			p	170	320	i		G	C	A	C	B

• 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)

4.1 General site character

Habitat class	% Cover
N07	55.00
N16	4.00
N17	41.00
Total Habitat Cover	100

Other Site Characteristics

In the central parts are a complex of shoal meres, building a network of different vegetationtypes and diversed species together with the surroundings. At the merecomplex are species like Scirpus tabernaemontani and Carex mackenzei found, bouth plants normally most comnmon at seashores. On the mosses, Calliergon stramineum and Sphagnum teres dominating, are some contribution of for example the mountaineus sedge Carex rariflora grown in a sparse field layer, sometimes mixed as hybrids with others, C. limosa and C. magellanica growing. Along the merecomplex are some large clumps of Phragmites communis on a mixed bog with alkaline fens areas, with many differnet mosses. Most interesting is though the presence of Saxifraga hirculus, but also some orchides.In the notherns part is a brook surrounded by bog woodland, with the Thelypteris palustris growing on carpets of the mosses Calliergon giganteum and Drepanocladus intermedius nearest the brook (a nothern outpost for the specie Thelypteris palustris).The main area of the fens is botanical very interesting, but also affected by culture due to hay-making, ditching, grazing and peat cutting.

4.2 Quality and importance

Armasjärvi is representing alkaline fenses and bog woodland with Saxifraga hirculus and an unusual flora with marin characteristics despite the inland situation.Other imortant species motivated "other reason" are reagionaly endangered.
