  2. Climate proof soils by steering soil and residue microbiomes to improve the physical, chemical and microbial properties of compost with clay

    Internship
    This research is part of the ClipsMicro (Climate proof soils by steering soil and residue microbiomes) project and aims to make Maize cultivation on sandy Dutch soils more sustainable and resilient by designing and testing a climate proof soils management strategy. We integrate cover crops with biological nitrification inhibition (WP 3) and clay-amended compost (WP 2). Here you can contribute to WP 2, focusing on the clay-amended compost research.

  3. Extreme climate pushed thousands of lakes in West Greenland 'across a tipping point'

    Press release
    West Greenland is home to tens of thousands of blue lakes that provide residents drinking water and sequester carbon from the atmosphere. Yet after two months of record heat and precipitation in fall 2022, an estimated 7,500 lakes turned brown, began emitting carbon and decreased in water quality, according to a new study NIOO is involved in.
    Researchers in a boat sample a lake near Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, that browned after the extreme events.
