Tenders Are Invited For Environmental Services – Studies On Biological Diversity With The Environmental Sample Bank - Trenddna 2.0

Environmental Services – Studies On Biological Diversity With The Environmental Sample Bank - Trenddna 2.0. The Trenddna 2.0 Project Will Use Genetic And Digital Analyzes In Routine Operations To Map The Development Of Biological Diversity Over The Entire Period Of Environmental Samples, Evaluate It Based On Indicators And Derive Forecasts For Future Developments. . The Environmental Sample Banks Genetic Work Continues To Study The Biodiversity Of Ecosystems And Fill Historical Gaps In Knowledge. The Methods And Evaluation Approaches Are Being Further Developed And The Results Are Being Processed To Inform The General Public, Authorities And Politicians. The Project Will Answer Three Essential Questions: . How Can The Environmental Sample Bank - Provide And Evaluate High-Quality Data On The Status And Long- And Short-Term Changes In Biological Diversity, - Support The Official Assessment And Environmental Monitoring Of The Biological Diversity Of Inland Waters And Soils, - Inform The Public, Authorities And Politicians About The Status And Changes In Biological Diversity In A Way That Is Appropriate For The Target Group So That The Data Can Be Sought? . The Project Will Support The Transformation Of Official Environmental Monitoring In Germany With Data, Methodological And Assessment Expertise. The Focus Is On The Official Programs For Soil And Inland Waters, Where The Federal And State Governments Are Already Testing Genetic Methods, Especially With (E)Dna Metabarcoding Methods. There, The Temporal Trends Of The Environmental Sample Bank Can Specifically Complement Area Studies And Provide Historical References. In Order To Optimize The Participation Process, The Employees Communicate Closely With A Support Group Of Selected Authorities And Institutions. . The Indicators Of Established Environmental Monitoring Programs Are Used To Evaluate The Project Data And New, Meaningful Benchmarks For Environmental Changes Are Developed. A Statistical Method Kit Enables Uniform Evaluation And Evaluation Of Genetic Data - Also In The Context Of Other Environmental Information. The Contractors Check The Use Of Ai-Based Methods In Exchange With The Environmental Departments Ai Laboratory. . The Ans Develop Procedures To Record Short-Term Changes In Water Bodies And To Place Them In The Historical Context Of The Long-Term Series. For This Purpose, Monthly Samples Of Suspended Matter From The Water Bodies Are Integrated Into The Program And The Use Of Water Samples Is Checked. . The Contractors Develop A Data Management Concept For The Storage, Interoperability And Further Use Of The Data. A Dashboard Will Support Public Perception Of The Environmental Sample Bank. For This Purpose, Approaches From Another Environmental Sample Bank Project - 1H-Esb Water - Will Be Integrated. Bidders Are Requested, If Possible, To Formulate And Plan Parts Of The Services In Such A Way That They Support The Academic Training Of Young Scientists. Furthermore, The Contractors Develop A Strategy To Use The Results Of The
