Microbial Networks controlling soil greenhouse gases emissions
Soils are considered principally non-renewable resources. Soil ecosystem services have a large impact on numerous societal demands and are of high economic importance. Within the area of sustainable agriculture, it is expected that agricultural production will increasingly rely on the natural nutrient retention and recycling capabilities of soil. This project seeks to provide a fundamental scientific understanding of soil functioning and the resulting ecosystem services in Brazilian and Dutch bio-economies based on innovative microbial ecology and soil science studies. Focus is in sugarcane crop production systems by linking soil microbial composition and functioning, waste residues recycling, fertilizers, soil factors and greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions through integrating and complementing the strong expertise of Brazilian and Dutch researchers from different areas of agronomy, soil sciences, plant nutrition, biogeochemistry, soil ecology, microbial ecology, ecological genomics, molecular ecology and bioinformatics. We will quantify the microbial functional groups and microbial abundance of C and N cycle genes and measure GHG emissions (CO2, CH4 and N2O) from soils during the productive cycle of the plant under different management practices and verify the temporal and spatial variability of these emissions in the evaluated treatments with different concentrations of sugarcane vinasse residue combined with N mineral fertilizers in combination with straw additions, and determine the conditions under which such GHG emissions can be counteracted, or minimized most. The proposed project will enhance fundamental scientific understanding of the interactive role of the microbial networks operating in soil and the consequences of bio-based agricultural management practices for the functioning of soil systems. -
Marker Wadden
The Marker Wadden is a newly constructed archipelago in lake Markermeer, which aims to improve the lake’s degrading food web by stimulating primary productivity. The archipelago consists of five islands that add a currently missing habitat type to the lake: shallow, sheltered waters with high nutrient availability and gradual land-water transitions. -
Natuuronderzoek en maatschappij
Een duurzamere maatschappij is een noodzaak voor ons allemaal. Ecologische kennis is daarvoor onmisbaar. Biologische gewasbescherming en het onderzoek op de Marker Wadden. Of de gevolgen van giftige algen, kunstlicht en microplastics. En hoe kunnen micro-organismen Afrikaanse boeren helpen en wij de natuur herstellen? -
Een gebouw dat leeft
Het Nederlands Instituut voor Ecologie (NIOO-KNAW) wilde een zo duurzaam mogelijk gebouw, in allerlei opzichten, als nieuwe vestiging. -
Symposium Liesbeth Bakker: stevige band wetenschap en praktijk vergroot impact rewilding
17/12/2020 Rewilding is 'hot' maar kan nog veel meer impact hebben, was de boodschap op een internationaal online symposium. -
Symposium success reveals huge potential of rewilding
09/12/2020 With over 2000 participants, the enormous interest in last week’s Rewilding Symposium shows that rewilding is being increasingly embraced as a progressive approach to conservation. -
