Fundamenteel ecologische aspecten van het mangrove-ecosysteem en hun evolutie onder toenemende anthropogene druk
Description @en
De doelstellingen van het project zijn : 1. De opbouw van een betere kennis van fundamenteel ecologische aspecten van het mangrove-ecosysteem. 2. Evolutie van mangrove-ecosystemen onder toenemende anthropogene druk onder invloed van rechtstreekse factoren en van onrechtstreekse effecten.
Description @nl
Understanding the fundamental ecological processes operating in mangrove ecosystems. Use of natural stable carbon and nitrogen isotope abundancies to trace the flow of carbon and nitrogen through the system and to describe the trophic relationships inside the mangrove ecosystem. The aim of the project is to obtain a better knowledge on the fundamental ecological aspects of the mangrove ecosystem. Follow up the evolution of the mangrove ecosystem under the growing anthropogenic pressure. The impact of direct factors and indirectly effects.
