Soil Life in Action!
Soil life is diverse and provides multiple ecosystem function. To illustrate this we make time lapse clips for educational purposes. http://vimeo.com/user2493212 and https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGFFFsNZoZahwQ8UPFIWhFA

Harnessing trait-based plant combinations to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions under current and future climatic conditions
In this NWO funded project we investigate how we can mitigate greenhouse gass emissions from grassland exposed to extreme weather events through combining grassland plant species based on their functional traits. https://www.vcard.wur.nl/Views/Profile/View.aspx?id=36345

Clever Cover Cropping
Clever Cover Cropping is a NWO Green funded project in which we aim to find synergistic mixtures of cover crops for sustainable soils, in collaboration with CSA (WUR) and NIOO. In our part we mainly focus on optimising N-availability in soil whils minimizing N losses through leaching.

Skin Care for Mother Earth
In this NWO Open Mind proposal we investigate how we can promote the soil physical properties and water holding capacity through the functioning of soil microorganisms. https://www.nwo.nl/en/research-and-results/programmes/open+mind/awards

Harnessing trait-based plant combinations to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions under current and future climatic conditions
We use trait-based to design resilient grasslands athat can mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in the face of extreme weather events. -
Plant–Soil Feedback/Microbial Ecology: disentangling negative and positive soil feedback effects
Plant-Soil Feedbacks entail biological, chemical and physical changes in soil due to plant growth which can promote or suppress the growth of... -
Exploiting positive plant-soil feedbacks through understanding root traits and trade-offs.
Growing plants interact closely with soil organisms. Depending on plant characteristics, plants alter soil conditions and influence next plant... -
