Exposition 'Augmented Ecofeminisms: Climate, Water and Women'
This month at NIOO: the art exhibition 'Augmented Ecofeminisms: Climate, Water, and Women'. This exhibition illustrates how the problems associated with climate change differentially affect women in many parts of the world. -
Expositie 'Augmented Ecofeminisms: Climate, Water and Women'
Deze maand te zien bij het NIOO: de expositie 'Augmented Ecofeminisms: Climate Water and Women'. Hier wordt klimaatverandering bekeken door de ogen van vrouwen die ermee te maken hebben.

Seasonal timing
Species can adapt over the course of time. As the lives of species are altered by climate change, a different seasonal timing could make them adapt to an early spring, for example. How does this work, and what are the limits to such adaptations? -
How do nutrients and temperature affect cyanobacterial bloom toxicity?
Toxic cyanobacterial blooms threaten freshwater quality, made worse by climate change and eutrophication. The toxicity of these blooms depends not only on cyanobacteria quantity but also on the presence potentially toxin-producing species and genotypes, and their varied toxin production. -

Climate change impacts on harmful algal blooms
Harmful cyanobacterial blooms produce toxins that are a major threat to water quality and human health. Blooms increase with eutrophication and are expected to be amplified by climate change. Yet, we lack a mechanistic understanding on the toxicity of blooms, and their response to the complex interplay of multiple global change factors. Bloom toxicity is determined by a combination of mechanisms acting at different ecological scales, ranging from cyanobacterial biomass accumulation in the ecosystem, to the dominance of toxic species in the community, contribution of toxic genotypes in the population, and the amounts of toxins in cells. -
Climate change could make cyanobacteria more toxic
Climate change could result in more toxic cyanobacteria. But what determines their toxicity? Dedmer van de Waal has won a major European grant to find out. -
Klimaatverandering kan blauwalgen giftiger maken
Dedmer van de Waal gaat met een Europese beurs onderzoeken wat de giftigheid van blauwalgen bepaalt, en of klimaatverandering het probleem verergert. -
Seizoenstiming
Soorten kunnen zich aanpassen in de tijd. Als klimaatverandering hun leven verandert, dan kan een andere timing zorgen dat ze de vervroegde lente bij kunnen benen bijvoorbeeld. Hoe werkt dit, en wat zijn de grenzen aan zulke aanpassingen? -
Sustainable use of land & water
Healthy surface water and soils are essential for life on earth, providing diverse life-support functions. How are these ecosystem services affected by human activity, and how can we change this?
