Met Vegetation monographs langs de IJssel

Een bezoek aan de uiterwaarden rondom om Zwolle staat garant voor een schouwspel van Hollandse luchten. Maar in de stroomdalgraslanden en kievitsbloem weilanden is veel meer te spectaculairs te vinden. Op excursie met Albert Corporaal dus! De Vreugdenrijke waard Rijkswaterstaat heeft flink ingegrepen langs de IJssel. De rivierdijken zijn naar achteren gelegd en twee brede … More Met Vegetation monographs langs de IJssel

Plant Species Diversity Mediates Ecosystem Stability of Natural Dune Grasslands in Response to Drought

Nils M. van Rooijen, Wanda de Keersmaecker, Wim A. Ozinga, Pol Coppin, Stephan M. Hennekens, Joop H. J. Schaminée, Ben Somers and Olivier Honnay Ecosystems 2015 Abstract How plant species diversity can mediate the temporal stability of ecosystem functioning during periods of environmental stress is still a pressing question in ecology, certainly in the context of … More Plant Species Diversity Mediates Ecosystem Stability of Natural Dune Grasslands in Response to Drought

Species-rich semi-natural grasslands have a higher resistance but a lower resilience than intensively managed agricultural grasslands in response to climate anomalies

Wanda De Keersmaecker, Nils van Rooijen, Stef Lhermitte, Laurent Tits, Joop Schaminee, Pol Coppin, Olivier Honnay and Ben Somers Journal of Applied Ecology 2016 Abstract 1. The stable delivery of ecosystem services provided by grasslands is strongly dependent on the stability of grassland ecosystem functions such as biomass production. Biomass production is in turn strongly affected … More Species-rich semi-natural grasslands have a higher resistance but a lower resilience than intensively managed agricultural grasslands in response to climate anomalies
