Incorporating high-resolution climate, remote sensing and topographic data to map annual forest growth in central and eastern Europe

Jevšenak, J.; Klisz, M.; Mašek, J.; Čada, V.; Janda, P.; Svoboda, M.; Vostarek, O.; Treml, V.; Maaten, E. van der; Popa, A.; Popa, I.; Maaten-Theunissen, M. van der; Zlatanov, T. ; Scharnweber, T.; Ahlgrimm, S.; Stolz, J.; Sochová, I.; Roibu, C.; Pretzsch, H.; Sass-Klaassen, U.G.W.; Schmied, G.; Uhl, E.; Kaczka, R.

To enhance our understanding of forest carbon sequestration, climate change mitigation and drought impact on forest ecosystems, the availability of high-resolution annual forest growth maps based on tree-ring width (TRW) would provide a significant advancement to the field. Site-specific characteristics, …

Differences in grassland sward biodiversity and management regime lead to mixed effects on ecosystem services

Iepema, G.L.; Hoekstra, N.J.; De Long, J.R.; Jansma, A.P. (Lid Lectoraat); Manhoudt, A.G.E.; Eekeren, N. van

Species rich grasslands provide ecosystem services such as floral and faunal diversity, livestock forage, carbon sequestration and water regulation. However, the best combinations of sward diversity and management intensity to achieve the above-mentioned ecosystem services are not fully known. To address …

Extending grassland age for climate change mitigation and adaptation on clay soils

Iepema, G.L. (Lid Lectoraat); Hoekstra, N.J.; Goede, R. de; Bloem, J.; Brussaard, L.; Eekeren, N. van

Permanent grassland soils can act as a sink for carbon and may therefore positively contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation. We compared young (5–15 years since latest grassland renewal) with old (>20 years since latest grassland renewal) permanent grassland soils in terms of carbon stock, …

Integrated Blue Carbon Management on the Dutch coast

Thiri Htun Thiri Naing (Student); Anneke van den Brink (Docent); Dunia Rios Yunes (Begeleider)

The Netherlands is a densely populated and economically developed country. Coastal areas are important for aquaculture, agriculture, harbors, and urban development. Coastal habitats mainly exist on the south Delta coast and the north Wadden sea, hosting a great biological diversity. The Netherlands had …

The environmental impact of valorising agricultural by-products

Vries, J.W. de (Associate Lector); Eweg, H.P.A. (Lector)

Agricultural by-products, that is primary residue, industrial by-products and animal manure, are an important source of nutrients and carbon for maintaining soil quality and crop production but can also be valorised through treatment pathways such as fermentation, incineration or a combination of these …

Policy, restoration & stakeholder

M. de Witte (Student); E.J.M. van der Reep (Begeleider); S. Regan (Begeleider)

In recent years, the recognition of the importance of ecosystem services provided by peatlands has become increasingly topical (Clarke, 2006). It is now known that peatland degradation and loss of habitat has large negative impacts, particularly with regards the loss of the habitats natural carbon sink …

Swarm planning for climate change

Roggema, Rob; van den Dobbelsteen, Andy

Swarm planning is a theory and practical approach to deal with uncertain futures. By anticipating scenarios such as a ‘post-carbon’ world and a ‘pre-adaptive’ landscape, it offers an alternative pathway to prepare for medium-term incremental and step changes. The focus is on the regional scale with a …
