Bodembiodiversiteit stimuleren
Bij het NIOO onderzoeken we de onbekende maar heel belangrijke wereld onder onze voeten: om nieuw bodemleven te vinden, nieuwe mini-samenlevingen te ontdekken en om de mensheid te laten zien wat eerder onzichtbaar bleef. -
Enhancing Soil Biodiversity
At NIOO, we are on a mission to explore the strange world beneath our feet, to seek out new soil-borne life, uncover new miniature civilisations, and to boldly take humankind where it could not go before. -
Forest soil boost for iconic Dutch national park
A major NIOO-supervised experiment is underway in one of the Netherlands most iconic nature areas, with a key role for the soil. -
Extra boost voor bosbodem op de Hoge Veluwe
Met het aanbrengen van een laagje bodem gaat deze week de volgende fase van start van een grote proef in Het Nationale Park De Hoge Veluwe. Het NIOO begeleidt het onderzoek. -
NIOO Thema Klimaatverandering
Als we de opwarming van de aarde niet beperken zijn de gevolgen onomkeerbaar. Hoeveel veerkracht heeft de natuur? Hoe goed passen soorten zich aan? En hoe kan de natuur helpen om de klimaatproblemen te verminderen? -
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. -
ClipsMicro: Climate proof soils by steering soil and residue microbiomes
To mitigate climate change, global agricultural soils needs to store more carbon and emit less greenhouse gasses (GHG). In ClipsMicro, together with partners in agro-business, this is realised by steering soil microbes by application of novel, refined compost and crops that can reduce emissions of GHG. -
New lectureship on 'climate-robust' landscapes connects nature and agriculture
A new research group set up by NIOO and HAS University of Applied Sciences is asking howĀ alternative forms of agriculture can improve water quality and biodiversity. -

Sinds 1 januari is Ellen Weerman lectorĀ āKlimaatrobuuste Landschappen: verbinden van landbouw en natuurā bij het NIOO en HAS Hogeschool. -
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.
