MSc thesis or internship: restoration ecology Swedish Peatlands
A new large FORMAS-funded project (FORMAS = Swedish research council) will evaluate the effect of rewetting drained peatlands on hydrology, water chemistry, greenhouse gases, and vegetation. Many drained peatlands in Sweden are cu ...

MSc thesis or internship: field campaign for assessing Safe operating Space for European peatlands
Wetlands store significant amounts of soil carbon and freshwater on Earth, regulate climate and flooding, and provide habitat for biodiversity and people. Yet, over a third of the global wetlands have disappeared, with the most se ...

MSc internships: citizen science and nature education to support wetland restoration in Europe
Support of local communities is essential for upscaling ecological restoration. Environmental education and citizen science projects can facilitate local participation, strengthen community ties with nature, and contribute to pro ...

MSc thesis or MSc internship: developing peatland restoration monitoring protocol for Irish peatland
Background Peatlands are the world’ champion in storing atmospheric carbon for millennia as long as they remain wet. Once the peat layers become exposed to oxygen, for example after drainage, the stored carbon is lost to the  ...

Plant biodiversity and ecosystem functioning
Various studies have shown that local losses in plant diversity (also called alpha diversity loss) can decrease the functioning of ecosystems, including their ability to produce biomass. What is less known, is whether another comm ...

How do grazers affect soil carbon storage?
Temperate grasslands store large amounts of carbon, and the vast majority of this carbon is stored belowground. Thereby, they can play a key role in mitigating climate change. But how can we maximize their carbon sequestration pot ...

Restoring pollinator habitats: where, for what and by whom?
Pollinators play a key role in crop and wildflower pollination, but populations show steep declines driven by human disturbances. Despite substantial efforts in Europe to reverse this negative trend, pollinators remain severely th ...

Effects of different mowing regimes on botanical biodiversity in grassland road verges. Can we fight climate change?
New studies suggest that climate change has a detrimental effect on grassland biodiversity. Additionally grasslands are still pressured by nitrogen deposition. Can we deal with this by changing the mowing regime? To study this ...

Effects of summer drought on grassland biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Summer droughts can have drastic effects on grasslands. To study the effects in detail, we set up a common garden experiment in 2021 where we apply simulated summer drought and different mowing regimes. For this experiment, we ...

MSc thesis: Stimulating flower-rich grassland on clay dikes
Dikes are often very varied, relatively nutrient-poor habitats, and can be home to typical grassland vegetation types (In Dutch for instance stroomdalgralsand or glanshaverhooiland) and can be great habitats for insects. Because o ...
