Societal Advisory Board will help to connect ecological knowledge with society
Societal developments with a link to ecology and ecological research are easy to find. How can the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) support these? How will we share and use ecological knowledge? To achieve this, the institute will from now on receive help from the new Societal Advisory Board. -
NIOO researchers at the Night of Science & Society
Lisette de Senerpont Domis treedt tijdens deze editie van de Avond van Wetenschap & Maatschappij op als tafelwetenschapper rond het thema ecologische waterkwaliteit. Samen met Sven Teurlincx gaat zij met bezoekers in gesprek over dit onderwerp. -
Summer Seminar Aquatic Ecology: Maiko Kagami - Swimming fungi
In her talk titled ‘ Swimming fungi: Diversity, Interactions and Functions in Aquatic Ecosystem’, Maiko Kagami will cover a general background on aquatic fungi, their diversity and role in ecosystem functioning. -
10th edition IVN Dutch Ditch Days
The 10th edition of the IVN Dutch Ditch Days will take place between 10 and 16 June 2024. During these days, IVN guides children in taking a closer look at the aquatic animals and plantlife in Dutch ditches. NIOO uses the observations the children make to study the water quality. -
Biodiversity Data Workshop: Boosting the Impact of Biodiversity Data
Are you a researcher studying biodiversity and do you collect and/or analyse biodiversity relevant data? And do you want to increase the impact of your work and data? Join our biodiversity data workshop! -
National Growth Fund finances Dutch Holomicrobiome Institute
The government of the Netherlands has allocated €200 million from the country’s National Growth Fund for a public-private consortium that will conduct research into 'microbiomes' and economically interesting applications thereof. In the consortium, NIOO is partnering with ten Dutch universities, five university-medical centres, four universities of applied sciences, many other knowledge organisations and together with dozens of small and large companies and societal organisations. -
Wageningen Microbiome Center launched
Today saw the launch of the Wageningen Microbiome Center, during the yearly Dies celebration of Wageningen University. Within this new Wageningen-wide collaboration, NIOO is jointly working with Wageningen University & Research (WUR) and UNLOCK on stimulating microbiome research - by sharing research infrastructure and knowledge. -
Dealing with bluegreen algae
Worldwide, excessive nutrient loads in lakes and reservoirs have led to the rapid increase of harmful cyanobacteria. Blooms of these algae block the use of surface water for drinking, irrigation and recreation. Climate change is expected to further increase the frequency, duration, and magnitude of cyanobacterial blooms. Aquatic ecologists from NIOO are busy gaining more detailed insights into cyanobacterial blooms across scales, in future climates and in respect to toxicity. -
Impact of nutrients
Nutrient availability in natural ecosystems has increased due to anthropogenic activities like spill-over from agricultural ecosystems. In the Netherlands, this has led to the acidification of natural areas for example. At NIOO, we aim to understand the impact of nutrients on natural systems in more detail, to help to bring back the balance. -
