- Name
- ExPERimental approaches towards Future Sustainable Use of North Sea Artificial HarD SubstratEs
- Acronym
- PERSUADE
- Description @en
- PERSUADE will investigate how the introduction of offshore windfarms, through the associated changes in biodiversity (colonisation by fouling fauna, changes in benthic communities) will affect the nitrogen cycling at the local scale. Furthermore, we will investigate how these changes interact with the effects of climate change and/or the combination with aquaculture
- Description @
- PERSUADE zal nagaan hoe de installatie van windmolenparken, via de gekoppelde veranderingen in biodiversiteit (kolonisatie door fouling fauna, veranderingen in bodembewonende gemeenschappen) de lokale stikstofcyclus gaat beïnvloeden. Daarnaast zal worden nagegaan wat het effect is van klimaatsverandering, al dan niet gecombineerd met de introductie van aquacultuur, op het functioneren van kustecosystemen.
