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

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.

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.

We wish everyone a very happy new year!✨

📢2025 means change: we are moving to Bluesky!

Bluesky corresponds more with our core values at FNL.
We will be softly transitioning: posting increasingly on Bluesky and decreasingly here

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

[Toekomst voor Natuur @ToekomstNatuur]

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 👇🏽

[Faculty of Bioscience Engineering UGent @FbwUGent]

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.
