Causes and functional consequences of soil fauna distribution patterns under global change Ghent University
Species distribution is shaped by (a)biotic factors, currently subject to fast global change inducing distributional shifts. Biodiversity is crucial to ecosystem functioning and changes in species distribution can thus have consequences for ecosystem services to mankind. Soils and their large biodiversity are involved in many ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling, carbon and water storage. Hence, understanding how soil organisms respond ...
Disentangling global change effects on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning: from insights to solutions KU Leuven
Global change has increasing large-scale impacts on our natural ecosystems and the provision of ecosystem services. The research group sGlobe aims at developing global change-robust solutions for the biodiversity crisis, one of the biggest challenges in the Anthropocene. Our research is based on fieldwork, long-term research platforms, experimental ecology and computational modelling. With these methods, we aim to improve our understanding of ...

Global climate change hotspots in terms of multi-risk assessment of hydro-climatic hazards KU Leuven
The natural hazards can have devastating consequences on the society in terms of human health and mortality and also on the ecosystem and the economy. In the last decade, five billion people have been affected by natural disasters resulting in approximately $1 trillion of economic losses around the world. The hydro-climatic natural hazards are becoming more dangerous as a result of climate change and as population and infrastructure continue ...
