Bodemdag 2022: levende bodem voor een gezonde stad
Op 31 mei tijdens de Bodemdag 2022 gaan we met elkaar in gesprek over het benutten van natuurlijke bodemfuncties. -
Microbes for plant health
Microbes can act as bodyguards for plants and can foster plant growth in other ways as well. At NIOO, we are digging into the mechanisms: in what ways do they interact? And how can we stimulate this, to make our agriculture more sustainable? Let's rewild our microbes! -
Nature research and society
NIOO has a vigorous and long-standing commitment to societal impact. Not only is NIOO housed in a sustainable building designed to translate our ecological principles in terms of architecture and construction, we also have a number of units that are tailor-made for disseminating our ecological knowledge to specific target groups, we have a very active outreach policy, and we actively involve citizens in our research through large-scale citizen-science projects. -
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. -
Bodemdierendagen 2021: spinnen winnen fotofinish van pissebedden
De surprise voor Wereldbodemdag, elk jaar op 5 december, vormen ditmaal de spinachtigen. Zij voeren de Bodemdieren Top 3 van 2021 aan. -
NIOO Theme Biodiversity
In order to protect, or restore biodiversity, it is crucial to consider all forms of life within their entire context. The strength of NIOO-based research is that it integrates all of the different levels and scales that make up biodiversity, from genetic diversity to species diversity, from small to large organisms, from trophic interactions to communities and ecosystems, and in a wide range of terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Therefore, NIOO is in the right position to make a substantial and scientifically important contribution to the societal goal of the SDGs. -
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? -
Hoogste punt van Nederland heeft meeste bodemdieren, maar laagste punt heeft 'eigen' soort
Zowel het hoogste als het laagste punt van Nederland zijn dit weekend op bodemdieren onderzocht. -
Soil Animal Days 2021 kick off on NIOO roof
24/09/2021 The seventh edition of the annual Soil Animal Days has been launched from NIOO's green roof. The theme this year is the double lives of soil animals, above- and/or belowground. There's another important duality as well: many soil animals are in decline. For them, it may soon be do or die. -
Bodemdierendagen 2021: erop of eronder!
Van vrijdag 24 september t/m woensdag 6 oktober zijn ze er weer: de jaarlijkse Bodemdierendagen. Het thema van dit jaar is 'Erop of eronder!'
