Exploring the potential of animating carbon cycle to enhance blue carbon capacity in seagrasses of Indonesia: A review and perspective
Indonesia, as one of the world's hot spots for biodiversity and with an extensive area of seagrass, has valuable potential as a blue-carbon ecosystem to mitigate climate change. Yet, robust information is still required to meet a ...

Field projects: The role of habitat quality for bird personality and cognition
How may habitat variation influence behavioural performance in wild birds and its fitness consequences? Individuals differ in how they acquire and use knowledge. This often leads to a non-random distribution of behavioural typ ...

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 ...

What’s in a name? Typical geographical names and past terminology for different peatland types
Large parts of the Low Countries were once covered by raised bogs (hoogvenen). Many bogs have disappeared since the Middle Ages due to reclamation and peat exploitation. What remains is natural and cultural heritage under pressure ...

Bee health in Sweden: Investigating behavioural defence strategies in mite resitant honey bees from the island of Gotland in Sweden.
Healthy bees are crucial for the global food production. About one third of human diet directly or indirectly depends on successful pollination by bees. But the western honey bee struggles to survive. Colony numbers are rapidly de ...

Optimal harvesting duckweed: a modeling approach
Dense layers of duckweed are frequently observed in ditches. Due to this dense layer exchange of oxygen between air and water is blocked, resulting in anoxic conditions in those ditches with all negative consequence for life. Remo ...

Time and energy management by a Neotropical scatter-hoarding rodent
Many rodent species hoard seeds as food reserves on which they depend during periods of food scarcity. Acouchies in South American rainforest do so by burying seeds in widely scattered soil surface caches. How much the animals sho ...

Water Governance: policy, conflict and collaboration
Countries, regions, and cities across Europe and other parts of the world, are already adapting to climate change impacts by developing climate change adaptation policies, strategies, and implementing policy actions. These actions ...

Getting attached to seaweeds
One of the major problems in upscaling commercial seaweed culture is the detachment of young plants from the cultivation lines. The cellular, molecular and environmental factors that determine substrate attachment success for seaw ...

Irrigation and land use management to ensure resilience under drought and scarcity risks
Introduction In southern Europe, the economic and environmental sustainability of agriculture is highly dependent on adequate land and water management. Hydrological conditions of the soil and irrigation processes are thus key ...
