Species monitoring according to Articles 11 and 17 of the Habitats Directive in Saxony-Anhalt: dragonflies (Odonata), monitoring run 2027-2029

… study areas, the assessment of conservation statuses as well as complete digital documentation and data storage. This includes in particular MultiBaseCS databases, entries in the FFH monitoring cloud, GIS data, an Excel documentation of the evaluations and photo documentation. The results are to be prepared in two digital interim reports and a final scientific final report. The partial services are to be handed over by 30 October 2027, 1 November 2028 and 1 November 2029. · The contract covers the nationwide FFH sample monitoring of eight dragonfly species on a total of 152 monitoring areas (STPE) in the years 2027 to 2029. The following should be examined: Coenagrion mercuriale on 36 STPE and 52 counting distances in 2027 and 2028 with two inspections each, Coenagrion ornatum on 26 STPE and 48 counting distances in 2027 and 2028 with two inspections each, Ophiogomphus cecilia on ten STPE and ten counting distances in all three years with three inspections each, Gomphus flavipes on 17 STPE and 17 counting distances in 2028 and 2029 with three inspections each, Aeshna viridis on twelve STPE and twelve counting distances in all three years with two inspections each, Leucorrhinia pectoralis on 24 STPE and 24 counting distances in all three years with two inspections each, Leucorrhinia caudalis on twelve STPE and 13 counting distances in all three years with two inspections each and Leucorrhinia albifrons on 15 STPE and 17 counting distances in all three years with three inspections each. The recording and evaluation methodology is fully in line with the requirements of BfN and BLAK (2017). Methodological adjustments from the monitoring process from 2020 to 2022 must be adopted to ensure comparability. All predetermined STPE and counting distances shall be examined. Sub-areas that are no longer suitable may be replaced by more suitable sections of water within the respective STPE. Appropriate counting distances should be defined for newly added or hitherto not specifically defined STPEs. Deviations from methodology or recording periods require the prior written consent of the client. All target species and other dragonfly observations, including species, stage, number of individuals, sex, reproduction instructions, date, time, observer, detection type, behaviour and water ID, as well as negative detections of the respective target species, shall be documented. In addition, suitable current and historical evidence of third parties must be brought together. All observations must be entered in MultiBaseCS according to the specifications of the client and linked to the provided location references. The FFH evaluations are to be recorded for each type and monitoring area in the FFH monitoring cloud as well as in an Excel file with all sub-criteria, criteria and partial evaluations. The Excel template required for this purpose must be drawn up by the contractor on the basis of the evaluation schedules and agreed with the contracting authority. Furthermore, the current monitoring backdrop and the Z
