  2. LTER-LIFE

    Collaboration
    LTER-LIFE is a Large-Scale Research Infrastructure in the making. It will provide a state-of-the-art e-infrastructure to study and predict how changes in climate and other human-induced pressures affect ecosystems and biodiversity. We have applied for funding in the Call for proposals for Large-scale Research Infrastructure – National Roadmap Consortia 2021 of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO).

  5. LTER-LIFE student projects: revolutionising ecology

    Internship
    One of the challenges in ecology is to understand and predict how ecosystems are impacted by changes in environmental conditions and external pressures. This challenge is urgent given the unprecedented rate of global change in climate, land use, and urbanisation. To do so, we need to transform the way we do ecological research.

  6. Dandelion evolves along with hot city

    Press release
    City dandelions grow better in hot summers and flower better after mild winters than their rural counterparts. This is according to research by the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) that compared dandelions from the centre of Amsterdam with plants outside the city. These experiments - published in the December edition of Evolution Letters - show that dandelions evolved to adapt to urban heat. Such knowledge is essential for sustainable urban planning.
