Common Hamster Monitoring according to FFH Directive in Saxony-Anhalt 2027-2028

Common Hamster monitoring cycle: preparation, execution, evaluation, and documentation of the sample monitoring in eleven monitoring areas in Saxony-Anhalt for the years 2027 and 2028. The service includes the selection of suitable investigation areas within predefined state monitoring area pools, coordination with land users and managers, field surveys according to binding methodological specifications, and the recording and evaluation of population and habitat-related parameters. Each monitoring area must be fully processed once within the contract period, with processing generally divided approximately equally between 2027 and 2028; deviations of up to 10% between annual segments are permissible. For each monitoring area, the designated federal monitoring areas and the state monitoring area pools are to be processed. Regularly, an arable area of approximately 350 ha is to be investigated per monitoring area, of which about 70 ha constitute the actual mapping area due to the specified mapping methodology. Mappings are to be carried out according to vegetation and harvest development within the professionally specified collection periods, including independent deployment and scheduling, and coordination with respective land users. Furthermore, the input and processing of all collected data, the creation of an interim report for 2027, and a final report for the complete 2027/2028 monitoring cycle are part of the contract. Deliverables include reports, data tables, digital photos, overview and thematic maps, ESRI shapefiles, and database files. Regular monthly project meetings are planned. The client provides basic data, GIS data, excerpts from the species database, and results of previous monitoring cycles to ensure the greatest possible comparability.
