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 ...

Climate, vegetation, permafrost interactions in Arctic tundra
Arctic tundra vegetation is changing rapidly and is related to climate warming. We found that low shrubs, e.g. Betula nana, are important for protecting the underlying frozen ground (permafrost) against thawing. Thus, shrub expans ...

Assessing food availability for farmland birds in nature-inclusive farmland
Subsidizing the implementation of field margins is the main policy instrument to promote farmland biodiversity, but this measure alone was found to be insufficient to reverse negative population trends of farmland birds. Aspects o ...

The rooting strategies of grasses
In grasslands, more than half of plant biomass may be found belowground, in roots. Roots play important roles in plant interactions, nutrient cycling and carbon storage, but our understanding of root form and function is still lim ...

Restoring flowering landscapes to bring back extinct bee species
About half of the 357 wild Dutch bee species are red-listed. Because bees are mobile organisms conservation management needs to target landscapes rather than fields or reserves. In the Geuldal, between Valkenburg and Gulpen, we ai ...
