About HABITAT
Habitat analyses are important for studying the ecological functioning of water- and land systems. Knowledge about species and interactions between species is vital in this process. In a world with increasing environmental pressures, it is important to quantify these impacts. Knowledge about the effectiveness of measures can be used to develop policy on spatial planning and water- and ecosystem management in order to realize ecological goals.
HABITAT studies
Examples of (inter)national HABITAT studies are:
- Analysis on the effects of climate change in European freshwater systems
- Determination of the effects of water level fluctuations on the habitat suitability of macrophytes, zebra mussels,birds and vegetation composition in the area of Lake IJssel, the Netherlands
- Development of a water management strategy to reduce CO2 emission from large peat areas
- Determination of the effects of cooling-water on the habitat suitability of corals in Az Zour, Kuwait
- Examination of the consequences of cyclic rejuvenation of floodplains for the habitat suitability of species
- Determination of the effects of natural and anthropogenic pressure on key-species and WFD habitats in the Ems- Dollard estuary, the Netherlands
- Development of a water management strategy to reduce flooding risks and stimulate nature development in the Sava river, Croatia
