What affects the moisture regime of the sand surface of beach and dune?
In the past decade, sand nourishments (or sand supply) to Dutch fore-shores and beaches have been undertaken to provide an additional protection against the sea. One of the protective mechanisms is that sand transports over the be ...

Analysis of realistic genotype by environment interactions simulated using a crop growth model with a large number of physiological parameters
A different response of genotypes across environments is frequent in multi-location trials and is known as genotype by environment interaction (GxE). The study and understanding of these interactions is a major challenge for breed ...

Penium margaritaceum as a genetic model to study the origins of auxin biology
Plant hormones regulate growth and developmental processes in plants. Among hormones, auxin regulates these processes through transcriptional and non-transcriptional programs. In land plants, some mechanisms underlying these respo ...

Litter and fire risk: new technologies
Leaf litter is the forgotten layer between soils and forestry, despite its strong importance for fire risk and fire impact. Yet standard methodologies to measure soil physical properties are not readily applicable to litter beca ...

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 ...
