{"projectrec":{"ProID":1314,"StandardTitle":"Ecological characterization of European estuaries, with emphasis on the Scheldt estuary","OrigTitle":"Ecologische karakterisatie van Europese estuaria, het Schelde-estuarium als model","Acronym":null,"AbstractEnglish":"Estuaries are heterogenous and dynamic systems that contain specific life communities, but they too often suffer from human impact.  The complexity of estuarine systems, in particular the Scheldt estuary, demands much research.  The differentiation of the financial sources enhances fragmentation of research activities.  The aim of the Scientific Community is to improve integration of estuarine research, thereby supported by international scientific feedback concerning research on the Seine estuary.","AbstractOtherLang":"Als overgangsgebieden tussen land en zee zijn estuaria dynamische en heterogene systemen.  Daardoor herbergen ze specifieke leefgemeenschappen.  Tegelijk staan estuaria meestal onder zware menselijke druk. De complexiteit van estuariene systemen, in het bijzonder van het zeer dynamische Schelde-estuarium, vereist een multidisciplinaire aanpak.  De verscheidenheid van de financiële kanalen leidt echter tot een fragmentatie van het estuarien onderzoek.  Het onderzoek spitst zich in eerste instantie toe op het Schelde-estuarium, meer bepaald op volgende sleutelfactoren die het ecologisch functioneren bepalen: hydraulica, morfologie en sedimentologie, de koolstofcyclus, de biogeochemie van nutriënten en vervuilende stoffen, het voedselweb en de diversiteit van estuariene gemeenschappen.  De wisselwerkingen tussen deze factoren zijn complex.  Veel kennis is reeds voorhanden, maar opmerkelijke hiaten in de kennis blijven bestaan.  Via deze aanvraag is het de bedoeling om de coördinatie van de multidisciplinaire aanpak van deze interacties te verstevigen.  Het is interessant om de kennis die opgebouwd wordt rond het Schelde-estuarium te vergelijken met deze van het Seine-estuarium. Beide estuaria hebben analoge problemen, vertonen grote overeenkomsten in de samenstelling van hun systeem, maar hebben beide ook hun specificiteiten.  Bovendien is het de bedoeling de vergevorderde know how betreffende integratie van esturien onderzoek zoals het rond de Seine bestaat, aan te wenden om integratie rond de Schelde te verhogen.","DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:33:20.809226","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"ParentProID":null,"BeginYear":2002,"EndYear":2006,"BMonth":1,"EMonth":12,"BeginMonth":"January","EndMonth":"December","OrigTitleLangCode":"nl","OrigTitleLangID":41,"OrigTitleLangNL":"Nederlands","OrigTitleLang":"Dutch","OtherAbstractLangCode":"nl","OtherAbstractLangID":41,"OtherAbstractLang":"Dutch","OtherAbstractLangNL":"Nederlands","Progress":"Completed","ProgressNL":"Afgelopen","PublicFlag":1,"CheckedFlag":0,"ND":"2003-11-26","UD":"2009-09-16","DMPFlag":0,"Budget":4464,"BudgetCurrency":"EUR"},"parent":null,"persons":null,"projects":null,"events":null,"datasets":null,"institutes":[{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"ECOBE","ProPartID":1601,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":"en","OrigNameLangID":15,"FullOrigName":"University of Antwerp; Faculty of Sciences; Department of Biology; Ecosystem Management Research Group","Line1":"Universiteitsplein 1","Line2":"2610 Wilrijk","Line3":null,"Line4":null,"InsID":39,"FullStandardName":"Universiteit Antwerpen; Faculteit Wetenschappen; Departement Biologie; Onderzoeksgroep Ecosysteembeheer","Role":null,"RoleID":null,"EncAddress":"Universiteitsplein 1, 2610 Wilrijk, Belgium"},"parent":null,"institutes":null,"references":null,"conferences":null,"datasets":null,"persons":[{"Surname":"Meire","Firstname":"Patrick","Initials":"P.","LeaderFlag":0,"PersID":25,"Role":null,"RoleID":null,"PastInstitute":1,"BeginDay":null,"BeginMonth":null,"BeginYear":null,"EndDay":null,"EndMonth":null,"EndYear":null}],"pastpers":null,"subpers":null,"projects":null,"urls":null,"pictures":null,"published":null,"affrefs":null,"collections":null,"thesterms":null,"taxterms":null,"geoterms":null,"thestermsFRIS":null,"nXtins":null,"previns":null,"spcols":null,"resmessage":"no id specified","complete":0,"participantrec":null,"peerrevs":null,"urlmaps":null},{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"FWO","ProPartID":4657,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":"en","OrigNameLangID":15,"FullOrigName":"Flemish Government; Economy, Science and Innovation; Research Foundation - Flanders","Line1":"Egmontstraat 5","Line2":"1000 Brussel","Line3":null,"Line4":null,"InsID":6,"FullStandardName":"Vlaamse overheid; Beleidsdomein Economie, Wetenschap en Innovatie; Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek - Vlaanderen","Role":"Sponsor","RoleID":3,"EncAddress":"Egmontstraat 5, 1000 Brussel, Belgium"},"parent":null,"institutes":null,"references":null,"conferences":null,"datasets":null,"persons":[],"pastpers":null,"subpers":null,"projects":null,"urls":null,"pictures":null,"published":null,"affrefs":null,"collections":null,"thesterms":null,"taxterms":null,"geoterms":null,"thestermsFRIS":null,"nXtins":null,"previns":null,"spcols":null,"resmessage":"no id specified","complete":0,"participantrec":null,"peerrevs":null,"urlmaps":null}],"refs":null,"urls":[{"URL":"www.vliz.be/projects/wog","externalID":null,"URLTypeCode":null,"URLType":"Project home page","URLTypID":9}],"thesterms":[{"ThesaurusTerm":"ANE, Netherlands, Westerschelde","ThestID":182103,"ThesTypID":34,"ThesType":"ASFA Geoterms","OrigThesTerm":"ANE, Netherlands, Westerschelde","DutchTerm":null,"Code":null}],"taxterms":null,"geoterms":[{"GeoTerm":"Westerschelde","GeoObjectID":4752,"OrigGeoTerm":"Westerschelde","DutchTerm":"Westerschelde"}],"funderids":[{"FunderID":"P106/BIOL004731","ThestID":181476,"FunderType":"Other contract id"}],"othtermsFRIS":[{"OtherTerm":"Ecological characterization","DutchTerm":null,"OthtID":2847},{"OtherTerm":"Life communities","DutchTerm":null,"OthtID":18261}],"pictures":[],"spcols":[{"SpColID":269,"SpName":"ENCORA"},{"SpColID":165,"SpName":"ENCORA: BENCORE"},{"SpColID":38,"SpName":"Marine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning"},{"SpColID":27,"SpName":"ScheldeMonitor"}],"resmessage":"","complete":1}
