Under the Dr.FOREST project, we studied effects of forest biodiversity on human health during four years with a team of ecologists, psychologists and public health experts. We are now happy to share policy briefs that were crafted in collaboration with

🌲🔍Exciting PhD vacancy at ForNaLab!🔍🌲
We're looking for a passionate PhD candidate to explore the combined effects of N deposition & management on forest plant biodiversity. This position is a collaborative effort between our lab & @INBOVlaanderen

We hope this article inspires others to engage in open conversations about the opportunities but also the challenges of technology in ecology.
We describe the challenges we faced and insights we gained while developing a phenology and microclimate monitoring system, and offer our perspective on the future of sustainable technological innovations in ecological research.
"We want to look beyond the technology hype and associated good news narratives to think about a future with sustainable technological innovations for ecological research and conservation."

In the latest NatuurFocus, we present this framework, developed for Aelmoeseneiebos, our research forest with high scientific and ecological value. The goal: inspire scientists & nature managers to adopt similar practices & strengthen dialogue to protect nature during research.
Field experiments in natural areas are crucial to study environmental change but can pose risks to these ecosystems and their species. To minimize impacts, we propose a careful framework in NatuurFocus to balance potential damage against scientific value.

Onze collega @StephskiTonic heeft al verschillende keren bijgedragen aan deze boeiende podcast Toekomst voor Natuur over graslanden en over regenwormen. Kan je haar spotten in het filmpje hieronder? 😍👇 #sciencecommunication #scicomm
Bij heel wat natuurliefhbbers is podcast Toekomst voor Natuur inmiddels niet meer weg te denken. Bijna 70 uur aan inspirerende gesprekken over de veerkracht en rijkdom van onze natuur.
We maakten een korte film waarin we je kennis laten maken 👇🏽

Onderzoekers van onze faculteit ontdekten dat 39 % van de bosplanten westwaarts opschuift ipv naar het noorden en dit door stikstof!
Dit unieke onderzoek, onthult de grote gevolgen voor de biodiversiteit.

💡Ons onderzoek nu ook in @destandaard
👉Over hoe de verspreidingsgebieden van bosplantjes zijn verschoven de laatste decennia.
🌱Go west: bosplanten meer op zoek naar lekkers dan dat ze voor opwarming vluchten
