{"projectrec":{"ProID":3109,"StandardTitle":"Freshwater march and tidal flat development behind the dikes due to a reduced tide","OrigTitle":"Binnendijkse slik- en schorontwikkeling dankzij een gereduceerd getij","Acronym":null,"AbstractEnglish":"The Schelde estuary, characterised as a turbid, polluted and very eutrofic system, has nowadays reached a turning point in the restoration of its water quality. During the past century, human activities have reduced the intertidal areas, essential in the estuarine ecosystem for nutrient cycling and the self-cleaning capacity. Today, in combination with a master plan to protect the population from storm surges, an opportunity rises to recreate areas with a tidal influence. One specific option of combining safety and ecology is the creation of controlled inundation areas (CIA) under influence of a controlled reduced tide (CRT). These specific areas will differ in many ways from fully tidal areas. However, these areas can fulfil important ecological functions. The ecological development of a CRT will be investigated in the 10 ha big study area Lippenbroek. This former polder area will be turned into a small CIA-CRT to test this new concept.","AbstractOtherLang":"Intergetijdengebieden zoals slikken en schorren maken van estuaria waardevolle gebieden met hoogproductieve levensgemeenschappen. Slikken en schorren vormen een belangrijk habitat binnen estuariene ecosystemen en spelen een essentiële rol in de nutriëntencyclering. De voorbije eeuw is door antropogene ingrepen zoals havenuitbreiding, inpoldering of dijkwerken de totaliteit van slikken en schorren in de Zeeschelde echter sterk afgenomen, zowel in oppervlakte als in kwaliteit. Schorherstel is daarom nodig. In gecontroleerde overstromingsgebieden, gepland als onderdeel van het Sigmaplan ter beveiliging van het Zeescheldebekken tegen overstromingen, kan veiligheid gecombineerd worden met natuurontwikkeling. Door middel van een gecontroleerd overstromingsgebied met gereduceerd getij (GGG), kunnen deze gebieden onder invloed van het Scheldetij gesteld worden. Het is echter nauwelijks geweten of deze nieuwe intergetijdengebieden dezelfde ecologische functies en structuren kunnen ontwikkelen als de buitendijkse slikken en schorren. Om een antwoord te bieden op deze vraag zal het principe van een GOG-GGG getest worden in het 10 ha grote testgebied Lippenbroek.","DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:33:20.809226","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"ParentProID":null,"BeginYear":2004,"EndYear":2005,"BMonth":10,"EMonth":9,"BeginMonth":"October","EndMonth":"September","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":"2009-08-20","UD":"2009-08-20","DMPFlag":0,"Budget":24224,"BudgetCurrency":"EUR"},"parent":null,"persons":null,"projects":null,"events":null,"datasets":null,"institutes":[{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"ECOBE","ProPartID":10930,"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":"Partner","RoleID":17,"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}],"refs":null,"urls":null,"thesterms":[{"ThesaurusTerm":"Belgium, Schelde R.","ThestID":183117,"ThesTypID":34,"ThesType":"ASFA Geoterms","OrigThesTerm":"Belgium, Schelde R.","DutchTerm":null,"Code":null}],"taxterms":null,"geoterms":[{"GeoTerm":"Schelde","GeoObjectID":2542,"OrigGeoTerm":"Schelde","DutchTerm":"Schelde R."}],"funderids":null,"othtermsFRIS":[{"OtherTerm":"Inundation area","DutchTerm":"Overstromingsgebied","OthtID":18323},{"OtherTerm":"Tidal Marsh Restoration","DutchTerm":null,"OthtID":18324}],"pictures":[],"spcols":[{"SpColID":27,"SpName":"ScheldeMonitor"}],"resmessage":"","complete":1}
