Plant and Ecosystems (PLECO) - Ecology in a time of change University of Antwerp

Responsible
The research group of Plant and Vegetation Ecology (PLECO) has an extensive and long-standing experience with the study of a wide range of subdisciplines in the domain of ecology, in particular the ecology of plants and vegetations. The continuum of different spatial scales is being bridged, ranging from the individual plant, over populations and plant communities (vegetations) to entire landscapes and regions. The present research (and ...

Ecosystem Management University of Antwerp

The research concentrates on the ecology of aquatic ecosystems and wetlands and the processes in the land-water interaction along the whole river continuum and the river-coastal sea interaction. The studied systems vary from small streams with riparian margins over larger rivers and floodplains to estuaries. These studies, both descriptive and experimental in nature, are integrated to predict the impact of different management options on the ...

Ecosystem Management Research Institute for Nature and Forest

The Ecosystem Management research group focuses on the various aspects of integrated nature conservation and forestry. For example, what can we learn from unmanaged forests and how can natural processes such as wind action, erosion and sedimentation, and herbivory, when combined with focused traditional management techniques, enhance biodiversity in natural areas? What kind of management can ensure that ecosystems function in forests and in ...

Biosystems Engineering Technology, Geel Campus KU Leuven

One of the most prominent challenges our society faces in the 21st century is to secure food provision to sustain our growing world population in a sustainable way without compromising our next generations. Both biotic (e.g. pests, deseases) and abiotic (e.g. drought, suboptimal temperatures, suboptimal light conditions, … ) factors can cause severe reductions in our global primary production. These stress conditions can seriously endanger ...
