  2. LTER-LIFE: a research infrastructure to develop Digital Twins of ecosystems in a changing world

    Facility
    NIOO-KNAW
    The LTER-LIFE lab allows building digital twins (digital replicas) of ecosystems. With these twins, scenarios can be constructed to understand how ecosystems respond to pressures in order to develop effective response strategies. LTER-LIFE will initially focus on 2 of the most extensive and best-studied ecosystems in the Netherlands representing aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems: the Wadden Sea and the Veluwe.

  5. Up and down the marshes

    Press release
    Lower the water level in a marsh temporarily and you get a more resilient, healthy and biodiverse ecosystem in return. That is the advice of ecologist Kerstin Bouma and her colleagues at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW). An extraordinary opportunity presented itself in the Oostvaardersplassen to find out how this works. She defended her PhD on that research in the mud and among the reeds on Friday 4 April.

  7. Beavers in the Netherlands: a blessing or a burden?

    Blog PhD in progress
    Beavers were reintroduced to the Netherlands in 1988 and the beaver population has grown enormously since then. About six thousand beavers now live in the Netherlands. In the wild, beavers can have very positive effects on their environment by changing it, but is this also true in human-regulated areas?

  8. Ancient blue-green algae bloom more and more

    News
    Every summer there they are again, blue-green algae. Why are they a problem, are they getting worse with climate change and what can we do about them? These are questions that the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) has over the past few years been and still is seeking answers to. The research has provided new insights into fundamental processes, from the cellular level to large-scale changes in lakes and ponds. This allows better assessment of risks and possible development of new control methods.
