- 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
| The northern parts constitutes a large flat plateau of primary rocks with solitary softly rounded monadnocks dispersed in a landscape of extensive wetlands, lakes and mosaics of forests and bogs. The bogland around the central lake Muddusjaure and the calm upper parts of the river is very frequented by abundanced birdlife. The bogs are impressed by a pattern of strings of grass- or scrubgrown. Between the strings are patterns of sedge vegetation or sometimes pure mud. The bogs are mainly rich, housing rare species such as Saxifraga hirculus. The plateau is in general drained by Muddusjokk crossing the park into the river Stora Luleälv in the south, a deep entrenched area, so called kursu-valleys, formed during the glaciation by glacial trough. The largest of them all is Måskokårsa, nearly 2,5 km long and 50-70m deep and Muddusjokk running through, making a magnificient waterfall of 45 m into a remarkable calcareous tarn, an enormous pothole. Strikingly vascular plants, such as Silene furcata, Potentilla multifada, Viscaria alpina and Woodsia alpina normally demanding mountainous conditions are found in the kursuvalleys.These virgin forests, untouched by humans, has been burned naturally in intervals and many charred tree stumps are eloquent testimony of what has happened. Only the terrain close to Stora Luleälv has been affected by some loggings. Mixed forests with as well pine as spruce and high denseness of birch represents the most common forest type. In the southern and eastern parts the pines are in the majority, among them some giants of 500-600 years and large amounts of dry trunks. On the other hand the spruce is dominating in the western and central parts with ages around 200-300 years, contributed with species like the orchids Epipogium aphyllum. A geographical of vascular plant interesting specie Scirpus silvaticus are extremely northern growing.The amount of elks are annually varying, but due to the lacking clear-cuts the elkfrequences of the National park are less than in the surroundings. Lutra lutra are quite common together with ermines (Mustela erminea), small veasels ( M. nivalis) and martens (Martes martes). The capercaille (Tetrao urogallus) has a stronger fortress in these primeval forests than elsewhere in Lapland. The birdfauna is generally rich of species and more than hundreds of species are breeding in the area. Especially the rare and shy species like Cygnus cygnus, Anser fabilis, Mergus albellus and Anas acuta. The goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) is for the lakes a characterised specie and Tringa glaerola for the bogs. Of the other less usual waders counts Limicola falcinellus and Lymnocryptes minimum. Many preybirds like eagles, Pandion haliaetus, Accipiter gentilis, Circus cyaneus, and owls like for example Asio flammeus. More than hundreds of birds are breeding.Species Gulo gulo is located both in boreal and alpine region. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| Muddus National park preserves a genuine wilderness with wide areas of extensive virgin qualities in western taiga contributed wit giant pines and burning successions, precipitous ravines and interesting flora such as a number of orchids and a complex of wetland covering half of the area featuring important bird breeding sites. |
