{"projectrec":{"ProID":5245,"StandardTitle":"Sustainable Use of Sand in Nature-based solutions","OrigTitle":null,"Acronym":"SUSANA","AbstractEnglish":"A great challenge in the large-scale implementation of nature-based solutions (NBS) lies in dealing with \r\nthe finite nature of sand resources and with the unintended impacts on the marine ecosystem caused \r\nby sand extraction activities. Truly sustainable NBS, in addition to producing ecosystem services (ES), \r\nmust also minimize negative externalities which may be generated in areas that are distant from where \r\nthe NBS is constructed. This includes (1) increasing the use of alternative sand sources to safeguard \r\nsand resources in the longer-term, and (2) impact mitigation of sand extraction. However, no integrated \r\nmethod is available today that allows to balance these trade-offs between offshore sand extraction and \r\nits onshore use for the development of NBS.\r\nThe goal of SUSANA is therefore to develop an integrated model of the ES at the NBS with the ES at\r\nthe sand extraction sites, supporting the development of a long-term strategy for the sustainable use \r\nof sand in nature-based solutions. Specific focus is on the dune-in-front-of-dike principle as a working \r\ncase. SUSANA investigates how alternative sand sources impact on the ecosystem functions that \r\nsupport dune development and that provide the key ES in the coastal zone, i.e. vegetation \r\ndevelopment, aeolian transport and dune erosion, as well as their reciprocal interactions. In parallel, \r\nSUSANA quantifies how important ecosystem services (water quality regulation, food production and \r\nclimate regulation) are affected by sand extraction in the near-field, using in situ measurements of \r\nthe functional processes underpinning these ES. For the first time, cumulative impact forecasting will \r\nbe developed accounting for the main seabed-disturbing activities and ES of sensitive ecological \r\nreceptors. The results will feed the development of a coupled ES-model of dune-in-front-of-dike and \r\nsand extraction sites, which will be a first in its kind to account for cross-system impacts and reduce \r\nburden shifting as a result of resource consumption. Using the model, the sustainability of future \r\nscenarios for the implementation of NBS are investigated. Together with an analysis of the feasibility \r\nof cost-beneficial (re)use cases, this will result in a long-term strategy on the sustainable use of sand in \r\nNBS.","AbstractOtherLang":"Eén van de hedendaagse uitdagingen in het grootschalig implementeren van ‘Nature-based solutions’ \r\n(NBS) is de eindigheid van zandbronnen en de impact van zandextractie op het mariene ecosysteem. \r\nDuurzame NBS moeten naast het voorzien in ecosysteemdiensten, ook zorgen voor het beperken van \r\nnegatieve impacten op gebieden ver van waar NBS zijn geïmplementeerd. Dit houdt in dat (1) \r\nalternatieve zandbronnen moeten gebruikt worden om de zandvoorziening op lange termijn te \r\nwaarborgen, en (2) de impact van zandextractie op het mariene ecosysteem moet gemitigeerd worden. \r\nTot op vandaag is er geen geïntegreerde methode beschikbaar die de voor-en nadelen van \r\nzandextractie in zeewaartse gebieden en gebruik van zand in NBS in kustverdediging t.o.v elkaar \r\nafweegt.\r\nHet doel van SUSANA bestaat uit het ontwikkelen van een geïntegreerd model van ecosysteemdiensten \r\nin de zandextractielocaties, ter ondersteuning van een langetermijnstrategie voor duurzaam gebruik \r\nvan zand in NBS. Meer specifiek is de NBS focus van SUSANA gericht op het duin-voor-dijk principe. \r\nSUSANA onderzoekt verder hoe de exploitatie van (alternatieve) zandbronnen ecosysteemdiensten \r\n(reguleren van waterkwaliteit en klimaat, voedselproductie) beïnvloedt. Hierbij worden in-situ \r\nmetingen uitgevoerd van de functionele processen die deze ecosysteemdiensten ondersteunen. Ook \r\nzullen cumulatieve impacten voorspeld worden, rekening houdend met de belangrijkste \r\nzeebodemverstorende activiteiten en ecosysteemdiensten van gevoelige ecologische receptoren. De \r\nresultaten zullen geïntegreerd worden in een gekoppeld ecosysteemmodel voor duin-voor-dijk en \r\nzandextractiegebieden. Dit uniek model zal over de systemen heen impacten in kaart brengen en \r\nbijdragen tot het onderzoek naar de duurzaamheid van toekomstige NBS scenario's. Dit zal leiden tot \r\neen langetermijnstrategie over het duurzaam gebruik van zand in NBS.","DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-02-01 01:34:37.903706","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"ParentProID":null,"BeginYear":2023,"EndYear":2026,"BMonth":2,"EMonth":1,"BeginMonth":"February","EndMonth":"January","OrigTitleLangCode":null,"OrigTitleLangID":null,"OrigTitleLangNL":null,"OrigTitleLang":null,"OtherAbstractLangCode":"nl","OtherAbstractLangID":41,"OtherAbstractLang":"Dutch","OtherAbstractLangNL":"Nederlands","Progress":"Completed","ProgressNL":"Afgelopen","PublicFlag":1,"CheckedFlag":0,"ND":"2022-09-26","UD":"2026-02-01","DMPFlag":0,"Budget":null,"BudgetCurrency":"EUR"},"parent":null,"persons":null,"projects":null,"events":null,"datasets":null,"institutes":[{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"UA","ProPartID":17529,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":"en","OrigNameLangID":15,"FullOrigName":"University of Antwerp","Line1":"Prinsstraat 13","Line2":"2000 Antwerpen","Line3":null,"Line4":null,"InsID":4538,"FullStandardName":"Universiteit Antwerpen","Role":"Partner","RoleID":17,"EncAddress":"Prinsstraat 13, 2000 Antwerpen, 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},{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"MARBIOL","ProPartID":17530,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":"en","OrigNameLangID":15,"FullOrigName":"Ghent University;
