Integration of ecological aspects in flood protection strategies Research Institute for Nature and Forest
Policy makers are confronted with the question how to combine sustainable flood protection and floodplain rehabilitation in the best possible way. Both topics deal with spatial planning aspects in a range of scales. This question was the starting point for the development of an evaluation method within the IRMA/SPONGE project INTERMEUSE, illustrated on the basis of assumed flood protection strategies in the Meuse river basin (the “sponge” ...

Methodological and statistical aspects of indices of biotic integrity to assess the ecological condition of surface waters. KU Leuven
The general aim of an index of biotic integrity (IBI) is to provide policy makers, managers and stakeholders an overall appreciation of the ecosystem condition of a site in one synthetic measure. This is achieved by evaluating the species composition at the community level. The ecological rationale consists in the fact that anthropogenic changes of the environmental conditions and ecosystem resources ultimately result in a shift of the species ...

Epiphytes on the seagrasses of Zanzibar Island (Tanzania), floristic and ecological aspects Meise Botanic Garden
The species composition and ecology of the seagrass epiphytes of Zanzibar Island (Tanzania) al-e discussed. Thalassodendron ciliatum, a subtidal seagrass species, had the highest epiphyte cover, followed by Enhalus acoroides, Halodule uninervis, Cymodocea rotundata and Thalassia hemprichii. A total of 49 taxa of macroalgae (5 of which are new records For the East African coast) was recorded as epiphytes on seagrasses; the Rhodophyta form the ...

Ecological and physiological aspects of tissue cultured plants Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Tissue-cultured plants are different from normal plants because of the environmental conditions in a tissue-culture container. Together with the water retention capacity (WRC) of the headspace in a container, the gas composition is responsible for a divergent physiological behaviour. By controlling the WRC of the headspace the physiology and anatomy of tissue-cultured plants can be improved to resemble normal plants. During culture in vitro ...
