This research examines the water quality of Lake Volkerak-Zoom, focusing on annual returning blue-green algae (Microcystis) blooms. In addition, this research is focused on the possibility to sustainably remove 50% blue-green algae (Microcystis) from Lake Volkerak-Zoom using nutrient related measures, …

Ever since lake Volkerak got its status as a partially closed-off lake in the late ‘80s, excessive (cyanobacterial) algae blooms in the summer period have been a consistently occurring problem. This research aims to investigate the location-specific effectiveness of wetlands and floodplains in nutrient …

Bij vindplaatsen in een zogenoemde wetlandcontext speelt het criterium conservering (als onderdeel van de fysieke kwaliteit) een grote rol. De aanwezigheid van goed geconserveerd organisch materiaal heeft invloed op de opgravingsstrategie. Gebrek aan informatie en inzicht in vindplaatsvormende factoren …

The Northern Netherlands is like many delta’s prone to a wide range of climate change effects. Given the region its long history with floods and adaptation, there are numerous initiatives to be found that tried to battle these effects.

Summary Constructed wetlands have been used for decades on industrial areas to treat stormwater. European regulations and local ambitions for water quality dictate lower emissions before the water is discharged to the drainage system, surface water or infiltrated to ground water. The increase in the …

The research presented in this thesis has highlighted (bio)geochemical, hydrological, and wetland ecological processes that interact and enhance ecosystem development on wetlands built on fine sediment. A combination of greenhouse and laboratory experiments were conducted. Some measured data from these …

This study contains an extensive survey to amphibian species and their habitats in the national park Kotyhi-Strofylia wetlands and the goal of the report is to provide local management and monitoring suggestions for conservation of amphibians.
