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 ...

Current research focuses on a diversity of subjects.The research mission of the Forest & Nature Lab (ForNaLab) is to perform hypothesis-driven research on the mutual interactions between (forest) ecosystem structure, composition and diversity and (forest) ecosystem processes.The Laboratory of Forest Management and Spatial Information Techniques (FORSIT) is responsible for different projects in the dry and humid tropics dealing with ...

Landscape Ecology and Nature Management Research Institute for Nature and Forest

The Landscape Ecology and Nature Management team looks at the functioning of ecosystems as parts of larger entities, at the level of the landscape. Landscape ecological insights support the area-based nature policy, vision formation processes, management planning and nature assessments. The basic motivation of this team is to contribute to the sustainable conservation and restoration of biodiversity by means of policy-supporting landscape ...

Forest Ecology and - Management Research Institute for Nature and Forest

The team Forest Ecology and Management studies natural processes and interactions in forest ecosystems, and the effects of forest management hereupon. Emphasis is on long-term research and monitoring. Also scientific advisory work on forest policy and management (e.g. on conservation status and management of Natura2000 forest habitats) makes up an important part of the task.

Main topics of the long-term research are:

    Wildlife Management and Invasive Species Research Institute for Nature and Forest

    Responsible

    Wildlife management in relation to humans and biodiversity is central to the Wildlife Management and Alien Species team. Damage management is the first important area of focus. The team seeks, among other things, management tools and strategies to reduce the negative impact of both indigenous and exotic species. Another important area of focus is the sustainable use of indigenous populations: what are the prospects and preconditions for the ...
