All biomes of the world are increasingly influenced by global environmental changes, such as altered land and water use, atmospheric composition, climate, and urbanisation. A key contribution of NIOO is to enhance understanding on how global changes influence ecological interactions and how this alters densities and distributions of species, functioning of ecosystems and the sustainable delivery of ecosystem services and goods. Our aims are:
A century of climate change, bringing ever higher temperatures. Life can be hard: what would you do to survive as a bird, plant or rodent? Try the new game Climate Pursuit to find out.
To experience climate change yourself, we have developed a game. The game is based on processes that are happening in reality. Of course it is also fun to do!
