The dataset contains of a regional bird species list and abundance values for their regional occurrence. The data was obtained by a survey, that was covering an area of about 200km². Five line transects each of 25 km length were investigated 5times a year for the years 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. The survey was repeated from 2013 till 2015 in the equal manner, the same methodology and personal. The method for the survey ist the point-stopp-counting. Together with the bird data excessive data on biotope structure on the single observation points and detailed land use data is available upon request.

Farmland birds are used as indicator for the overall biodiversity on agricultural lands summarizing the effects over the whole food pyramide. The composition, frequency and diversity of the bird communities at 117 sample points, representative for a whole landscape have been monitored over a periode of 3 years in 2013-2015. The survey is a repication of the same survey proceed in 1999-2002. The monitoring was carried out over 5 month per year according to the stop-count-method, differntiated between two distances from the counting point.

PLANNED (as of August 2016) regular monitoring activities of the Park's Natura 2000 habitats are specified in the new Park Protection Plan (currently in the final project stage, pending final approval and implementation resolution by the Minister of Environment). They'll altogether comprise 19 bird species, 8 mammal species (incl. 2 sp. of bats, wolf, brown bear, lynx, Tatra marmot, chamois), 2 amphibian species and 2 invertebrate species (beetles). Methodology-wise, depending on the species, they'll be conducted as 1 to several monitoring rounds/inspections performed annually or at several-year intervals, in most cases in a season-dependent manner, and will involve various, species-specific methods (field observations, tracking, transect counts, site inspection, counting/inventory of nests, colonies or dens/burrows, analysis of habitat area or condition, genetic sampling, etc. etc.). For the purpose of the Park's Protection Plan, nature inventory and assessment of the current state of conservation of the above-mentioned species was conducted and indicated by FV or U1 (no U2s or XXs, luckily) with respect to 3 parameters: population, habitat, future prospect - plus the cumulative value. The data may be available at the Park.
