It adopts a retrospective approach using relevant methods from different disciplines (very high resolution sequential remote sensing and ground truth, socio-economic survey research, historic archive research,...), an integrative analysis (using geographical information systems, multivariate and multicriteria analyses,...) in order to generate outputs relevant for fundamental understanding and for ecosystem management.  Within this framework we also emphasize on ecological and ethological plant-animal and man-ecosystem interactions.  Mangrove forests form an important model for our research.","AbstractOtherLang":"Binnen het Biocomplexity Research Team (o.l.v. Dr. Farid Dahdouh-Guebas, c/o Prof. Nico Koedam), waarvan de oorsprong vóór 1996 ligt, proberen we te begrijpen en te voorspellen hoe en waarom spatio-temporele dynamiek in vegetatie en landschap plaats vindt.  Er wordt gebruik gemaakt van een retrospectieve aanpak met relevante methoden uit verschillende disciplines (zeer hoge resolutie sequentiële teledetectie en terreinwerk, socio-economisch surveyonderzoek, historische archieven,...), een integratieve analyse (gebruik makende van geographische informatiesystemen, multivariate en multicriteria analyses,...) om zo een resultaat te genereren die relevant zijn voor fundamenteel begrip van het ecosysteem en voor diens beheer.  Binnen dit kader ligt ook een nadruk op ecologische en ethologische plant-dier en mens-ecosysteem interacties.  Mangrovewouden vormen een belangrijk model voor ons onderzoek.","AbstractLangCode":"nl","AbstractLangID":41,"AbstractLang":"Dutch","AbstractLangNL":"Nederlands","SuccessorOfInsID":null,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-06-04 01:34:12.180000","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+00:00"},"PrevIns":null,"PrevAcro":null,"PublicFlag":1,"CheckedFlag":0,"ParID":4535,"InstituteType":"Scientific","EnvName":"Belgium","ISO3166":"BE","LevelName":null,"ND":"2006-03-17","UD":"2008-04-09","EncAddress":", Campus du Solbosch, CP 169, Avenue Franklin D.
