Schot, P. (author), Beard, J. (author), Hissink, R. (author), Silberbauer, M. (author), Griffioen, J. (author)Ecological values of water have gained increasing attention over the past decades in both (eco)hydrological research and water resources management. Water quality is an important ecological steering variable, and graphical water quality diagrams may aid in rapid interpretation of the hydrochemical status of a site. Traditionally used water...article 2022

Amery, F. (author), Debode, J. (author), Ommeslag, S. (author), Visser, R. (author), de Tender, C. (author), Vandecasteele, B. (author)Biochar has previously been used in growing media blends as fertilizer or for improving plant growth, disease suppression, and as a sustainable replacement of peat. To achieve optimal circular horticulture, we propose here to reuse the biochar from spent growing media. However, it is unclear to what extent the biochar feedstock determines the...article 2021

Yu, L. (author), Rozemeijer, J.C. (author), van der Velde, Y. (author), van Breukelen, B.M. (author), Ouboter, M. (author), Broers, H.P. (author)Urban areas in coastal lowlands host a significant part of the world's population. In these areas, cities have often expanded to unfavorable locations that have to be drained or where excess rain water and groundwater need to be pumped away in order to maintain dry feet for its citizens. As a result, groundwater seepage influences surface water...article 2019

Saaltink, R.M. (author), Dekker, S.C. (author), Griffioen, J. (author), Wassen, M.J. (author)Understanding how the hydrological regime in relation to sediment type interferes with ecosystem development is important when wetlands are created with soft muddy material. Especially when plants are used as ecological engineers to promote crest stability and soil formation. We carried out a two-year mesocosm experiment with sediments derived...article 2018

(author), Masclee, A.A.M. (author)Activation of the intestinal brake by infusing nutrients into the distal small intestine with catheters inhibits food intake and enhances satiety. Encapsulation of macronutrients, which protects against digestion in the proximal gastrointestinal tract, can be a non-invasive alternative to activate this brake. In this study, we investigate the...article 2018
