MSc or BSc thesis: Nutrient fertilization by dogs in natural areas
Nutrient deposition is a large problem in the Netherlands, Europe and worldwide, which can hamper the biodiversity of various plant and animal groups. While we know that various sources, including agricultural activities, industry ...

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 ...

BSc thesis: roots traits and carbon storage
Maximizing belowground carbon strategy can significantly contribute to the mitigation of carbon storage. Most plant-derived soil carbon comes from roots, but we still understand little of which root traits are most important in dr ...

Grasslands - threatened hotspots of insect biodiversity
Grasslands host widely diverse communities of bugs, flies, bees and many other insects. But these buzzing habitats are under heavy pressure of human land use. Especially intensive agriculture has detrimental effects on grasslands ...

Investigating a resistance mechanism against aphids in sugar beets
Mature Plant Resistance (MPR) is an age-induced resistance mechanism in sugar beet plants against aphids. Aphids are the vector species of multiple sugar beet-infecting viruses, which result in yield losses up to 50%. With this pr ...

Development of Cytokinin Reporters for Physcomitrium patens
The moss Physcomitrium patens has been used as a model organism for studies on plant evolution, development, and physiology for decades. Unlike vascular plants, P. patens undergoes alterations of generation, in which haploid gener ...

Can earthworms increase carbon sequestration through silicate weathering?
Enhanced Silicate Weathering (ESW) has emerged as a Negative Emission Technology (NET) due to its vast potential to increase long-term carbon sequestration. The weathering of silicates allows to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from t ...
