Some trees grow faster than others: why?
Within populations of trees, there are substantial differences in the growth rates of equal-sized trees. Such growth differences between individuals can persist for several decades, and cause trees to strongly differ in age when t ...

Contribution of clay application to SOC stabilization in Dutch peat meadows
The ‘Klei in Veen’ (clay in peat) project researches if and how the addition and natural mixing of clay can reduce organic matter oxidation and CO2 emissions from peat meadows. This research started with lab experiments where redu ...
