Sinderhoeve
The Sinderhoeve is an experimental field station with a variety of facilities for both aquatic and terrestrial research on the effects of chemicals in the environment, as well as more basic ecological research questions. It provides possibilities to perform experiments supporting the higher tiers in environmental risk assessment. The Sinderhoeve is part of Wageningen Environmental Research but is also available for research from external parties.

Flume and wave mesocosms
This series of facilities hosts different types of flume systems which serve to control water movement by a combination of flow and waves. The flume systems are used to study how water movement affects spatial development, functioning and resilience of the estuarine and coastal ecological landscape. The facility also hosts a wave mesocosm, to study the interaction between hydrodynamics and benthic organisms.

Underwater laboratory
This underwater laboratory is used to study how to enhance biodiversity on subtidal, hard substrates, like dikes and other man-made structures like pillars or offshore wind farms. The facility is unique in bringing the hard to reach subtidal environment to the easily accessible tidal area of the Eastern Scheldt at the very doorstep of NIOZ at Yerseke, Zeeland. It is a collaboration between Rijkswaterstaat, Hogeschool Zeeland and NIOZ.

Constructing a literature-based species interaction network of the forest
Beechnuts, the seeds of European beech (Fagus sylvatica), are an essential food resource for a variety of species in the forest, such as wild boar (Sus scrofa), rodents and several bird species. Beeches vary however strongly in their reproductive output between years, a process called masting, leading to pulsed resource dynamics that affect the demographics of these dependent species. In the literature, these effects are well described for individual species and simple trophic chains, but the more complex interaction network of species is yet understudied. -

Does north-south adaptation of animals also protect against climate change?
‘Can animal populations adapt to climate change by becoming genetically similar to more southerly populations?’ That is the question posed by ecologist Natalie van Dis. Knowledge about this could indicate which populations are most at risk from the changing climate. She has been awarded a Veni grant from NWO to investigate this at NIOO over the next three years.

The highs and lows of fieldwork in Greenland
As part of the CLIMET consortium (Climate feedbacks and methane cycling in Arctic lakes: enzymes to atmosphere), researchers from the NIOO-KNAW have been in West Greenland investigating methane cycling in Arctic lakes. The aim of this first field visit was to assess variability in lake conditions and microbial composition across the low arctic landscape of Kangerlussuaq.
