Open Dagen bij het NIOO
Het NIOO houdt regelmatig Open Dagen om te laten zien hoe we onderzoek doen. Op 7 oktober is het weer zover. -
Floor = hot = cold
With hot and cold water led through pipes in the concrete floors, we keep the temperature nice and constant. -
Deep source of new energy
In addition to conventional thermal energy storage, we use a solution that was developed especially for us. -
Thin film of energy
PV foil is 'building-integrated': it collects solar energy, and makes the roof waterproof at the same time. -
Highlights
A few highlights of the NIOO-KNAW building. -
A living, breathing building
As sustainable as possible, in as many respects as possible: that was the imperative when the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) commissioned a new building. And we have done it! -
History of NIOO-KNAW
NIOO-KNAW was created in 1992 by merging three important ecological research institutes of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). Discover our history. -
Sustainable use of land & water
Healthy surface water and soils are essential for life on earth, providing diverse life-support functions. How are these ecosystem services affected by human activity, and how can we change this?

Learning from nature: Using plant-soil feedback effects to improve disease control and sustainability in greenhouse cut-flowers
In this post I will look back on our past project on using plant-soil feedbacks to improve the growth of Chrysanthemum, an important cut flower crop in The Netherlands. -
Root chemistry of range-expanding plants may predict invasiveness risk
Most plants that expand their range within their own continent - e.g. under pressure from climate change - won't end up dominating other species. According to NIOO-researcher Rutger Wilschut, possible invasiveness may be predicted by root chemistry not found in native plants.
