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 ...

BSc/MSc project: Artificial light, green spaces and the biodiversity of moths in urban environments
Moths are some of the most biodiverse insects groups there are, and frequent visitors of gardens in urban environments. But what is driving their numbers and biodiversity in urban environments? With this project, you will investig ...

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 ...

Herintroductie van Oud Bossoorten (thesis of internship)
De Brabantse bossen zijn relatief jong (<100 jr) en liggen op voedselarme dekzandruggen, veelal voormalige heiden. Een rijke bodem ontbreekt vaak, alsmede boomsoorten die rijk strooisel vormen. Door verzuring en verarming zijn vee ...

MSc thesis restoration ecology: reintroducing peatmoss to speed up peatland restoration
Peatlands in the Netherlands have become rare. All large reserves are currently incorporated into the Nature 2000 framework and are being managed to stimulate the return of ecosystem engineers: peatmoss. The problem is that ta ...

Can buckwheat cultivation contribute to wild pollinator conservation?
Buckwheat is a crop of the old days, but is gaining more ground due to an increase of demand and the biodiversity benefits it has. It is flowering for 100 days, and very rich in nectar and pollen. In the current agricultural lands ...

MSc thesis or internship: The contribution of solar parks to insect biodiversity conservation
The highly needed transformation towards renewable energies requires drastic changes to the landscape as we know it now. Next to numerous wind turbines, we need large solar fields to meet ever increasing energy demand. Such solar  ...
