Can Rewilding protect primary productivity from Climate Change?
Rewilding is a form of nature restoration that gives room for natural processes so as to regenerate self-sustaining resilient ecosystems. As such, rewilding might buffer ecosystems processes and functions against the impact of Climate Change. Primary productivity is a key ecosystem process underpinning the dynamics of ecosystems, yet we lack knowledge on whether rewilding might protect primary productivity against the threat of Climate Change. -
The effects of Rewilding on woody-plant regeneration and open-woodland mosaics
Rewilding is a form of nature restoration that gives room for natural processes so as to regenerate self-sustaining resilient ecosystems. Myriads of rewilding initiatives have emerged across the world over the last decades, yet many of the outcomes of rewilding have not been fully empirically ascertained. A particularly controversial outcome of rewilding concerns its potential impact on woody-plant regeneration, shrub encroachment and the maintenance of open-woodland mosaics with relatively high levels of structural heterogeneity. -
The impact of Rewilding on aboveground carbon sequestration
The relentless pace of Climate Change has triggered a race to devise effective ways to mitigate Climate Change by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere. Rewilding, a form of nature restoration that aims to restore ecosystems by enhancing natural processes, has the potential to contribute to these mitigation efforts via aboveground and/or belowground carbon sequestration (e.g. in the vegetation and the soil). Yet, we still lack estimates on how much carbon can be captured through rewilding in different ecosystem types and how this changes as rewilding progresses. -
Rewilding ecological interactions
Rewilding is a form of nature restoration that gives room for natural processes so as to regenerate self-sustaining resilient ecosystems. Most evaluations of rewilding success focus on common biodiversity metrics, paying less attention to species interactions and community assembly processes. On the other hand, the structure and intensity of species interactions determine the potential resilience of ecological communities against disturbances. Hence, understanding how rewilding affects and restores ecological interactions is a critical step towards evaluating rewiliding success. -
Pumping carbon into soils through Rewilding
The relentless pace of Climate Change has triggered a race to devise effective ways to mitigate Climate Change by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere. Rewilding, a form of nature restoration that aims to restore ecosystems by enhancing natural processes, has the potential to contribute to these mitigation efforts via aboveground and/or belowground carbon sequestration (e.g. in the vegetation and the soil).

Biodiversiteit op het NIOO-terrein
Bij het NIOO streven we ernaar om de biodiversiteit op de groene daken en het onderzoeksterrein te stimuleren. Ter ere van de 68e verjaardag van het instituut in 2022 starten NIOO-onderzoekers met een BioBlitz, waarbij NIOO-ers in periodes van een jaar soorten zoeken op het eigen terrein. -
Living Lab B7 — With farmers, citizens, visitors and policy makers
Living Lab B7 wil de biodiversiteit in de Bollenstreek verbeteren. Dit doen we door inzichten over biodiversiteit te delen en ter plekke toe te passen. Co-creatie en kennisontwikkeling in de praktijk, samen met lokale partijen. -

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.
