  1. Exposition: 70 years of ecology

    Welcome to this exposition full of stories and highlights of seventy years of ecology at NIOO-KNAW. Take a look and find out how research methods have changed over time, from punch cards to online databases and from spending hours counting microscopic entities to getting help from artificial intelligence.

  2. Aquatic Sensing Facility (Aquasense)

    Faciliteit
    University of Twente
    AquaSense is an outdoor aquatic facility (10 × 4 meters, depth 0.5–2 meters) designed for education and research in water quality monitoring using remote sensing techniques. It provides a controlled environment for measuring radiance, and other bio-physical properties of water, supporting hands-on learning and experimentation in hydro-optical modeling, sensor calibration, and aquatic system analysis.

  3. Gas exchange and treatment lab

    Faciliteit
    University of Groningen
    In a set of larger and smaller cuvettes the gaseous atmospheric composition can be adjusted. This primarily concerns elevated or lower CO2 levels, or reduced oxygen content. Alternative gasses can be supplied, such as stable isotopically labelled 13CO2. Cuvettes are connected via a flow though system, which then also allows whole plant/canopy photosynthesis and respiration measurements.

  4. Beleef de Lente 2025: Laatste loodjes

    Blog Beleef de lente
    Kijk je nu via de camera in de nestkast, dan zie je zes jonge, levendige koolmeesjes die je nieuwsgierig aankijken. We kunnen nog maar heel even van ze genieten, want binnenkort vliegen ze uit, de wijde Drentse wereld in. Daar wacht een leven vol uitdagingen waarin ze moeten zien te overleven.

  5. Optics lab

    Faciliteit
    University of Groningen
    Optics lab with equipment to study the optical properties of plant, animal and artificial materials, and study insect eyes. Spectroscopic setups (probe, microspectrophotometer) to measure reflectance spectra, imaging scatterometer to visualise angle-dependence of reflection, angle-dependent reflectance setup to quantify angular dependence of reflectance, various types of microscopes. Goniometric research apparatus to quantify the visual field of insects.

  6. Field station De Herdershut

    Faciliteit
    Fen and Sea Clay landscapes
    University of Groningen
    Field station De Herdershut (the shepherd’s hut) of the University of Groningen on the Wadden Island of Schiermonnikoog is the Netherlands' northernmost scientific research station and the home base for research in the eastern Wadden Sea.

  7. Wild bird biobank

    Faciliteit
    Erasmus MC
    The ErasmusMC hosts a biobank that consists of data and samples resulting from two lines of research in wild bird monitoring conducted by the Erasmus Medical Center and the Dutch Centre for Avian Migration: bird flu with a focus on waterbirds (1999-current), and arboviruses with a focus on songbirds (2016-current). The biobank contains samples of birds infected with viruses as well as negative samples (serum, swabs, feathers), and ticks found on birds.

  8. Polderlab Vrouwe Venne

    Faciliteit
    Agricultural and Rural Areas
    Leiden University
    At the Polderlab Vrouwe Venne, farmers, citizens and researchers work together to shape the future of Dutch agriculture. Its goal is to restore biodiversity and the peat meadow landscape. And that farmers can earn their living sustainably.

  9. Soil ecology runs deep

    Nieuws
    For a long time, the soil was the domain of chemistry and physics. This only changed forty years ago. Then attention also started to be paid to the biology and ecology of soils. Today, the soil has become a large and indispensable field of research. The Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) has been uncovering the role of soil life for a healthy underground and aboveground ecosystem for several decades. Soil life also contributes to nature restoration, for example through soil transplantation and tackling invasive plants.

  10. Under the bird ring's spell

    Nieuws
    Ringing of wild birds has become indispensable as a research method to track individual birds. Since 1911, some 16 million birds have been fitted with a metal ring in the Netherlands. What has that brought in terms of knowledge, protection and policy? And what do new tracking techniques add? We dive into the world of meadow birds, goose visits and infectious diseases.
