Jan 18, 2025 · Plants in the shade utilize more light for photosynthesis than previously thought. A team of researchers from Utrecht University and Wageningen University & Research (WUR) describe how, in the scientific journal Plant Cell & Environment. Their conclusions not only advance research into the functioning of photosynthesis in shady conditions, but may also benefit greenhouse horticulture.

Jan 10, 2025 · The extensive northern forests of Canada, Alaska and Siberia are about to fundamentally change their tree density because of climate change. According to a new study led by researchers from Wageningen University & Research, this change will increase the risk of forest fires. The research team explored twenty years of tree cover data from satellites to …

Artificial reefs in the Wadden Sea, made from discarded pear trees, are teeming with marine life after more than a year under water. That's shown in experiments by Jon Dickson, PhD candidate at NIOZ.

An increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere 56 million years ago abruptly led to a wetter Central Asia with more plant growth. The publication in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience by an international group of scientists, among whom Carina Hoorn from the University of Amsterdam (UvA), sheds light on how our future will be shaped by global climate change.

Oct 23, 2024 · The North Sea is used throughout the year for all kinds of birds. What risks do the wind farms pose to the birds? Researchers at the University of Amsterdam, led by Judy Shamoun-Baranes, have just finished a five-year project in which they used high-tech tools to study interactions between birds and offshore wind turbines.

A new ecosystem has been discovered in volcanic caves beneath hydrothermal vents at a well-studied undersea volcano at 2.500 metres below sea level. Using an underwater robot, scientists overturned chunks of volcanic crust, discovering cave systems teeming with worms, snails, and chemosynthetic bacteria living in 25 degrees Celsius water.

22-NOV-2023 - LUCA, the ‘last universal common ancestor’ of all living organisms, lived 4.32 to at most 4.52 billion years ago. This is indicated by a study from NIOZ biologists Tara Mahendrarajah and senior author Anja Spang, with collaborating partners from Universities in Bristol, Hungary and Tokyo, that was published today in Nature Communications.
