Ecological restoration and ecological engineering: Complementary or indivisible?
Ecological engineering and ecological restoration are distinct disciplines, both of which are urgently needed to reverse global environmental damage. Relative to ecological restoration, ecological engineering provides outcomes that are more predictable but with lower diversity. It also aims to provide higher functionality with respect to one or a f...
A clash of plants : Vegetation succession and its interaction with permafrost dynamics in the Arctic lowland tundra
Arctic ecosystems have been affected by severe climate change during the last decades. The increase in temperature in the Arctic has been almost double of the global rate of warming since the beginning of the 20th century. Like other ecosystems in the high latitude region, Arctic tundra appears to be extremely sensitive to the continuous warming of...
Dunes, above and beyond : The interactions between ecological and geomorphological processes during early dune developme...
Coastal dunes occur along the sandy shores of most continents where they serve as coastal defence against flooding, provide areas for recreation, store drinking water and harbour unique biodiversity. Coastal dunes and the services they provide are threatened by climate-induced sea-level rise. This threat may be mitigated by the spontaneous formatio...
Restauration écologique et ingénierie écologique : complémentaires ou consubstancielles ?
L’ingénierie écologique et la restauration écologique sont deux disciplines distinctes, toutes deux nécessaires pour contrer la détérioration environnementale mondiale. Par rapport à la restauration écologique, l’ingénierie écologique fournit des résultats plus prévisibles mais moins diversifiés. L’ingénierie écologique vise également à fournir une...

In 2012 besloten onderzoekers van de Université Saint-Louis - Brussel (USL-B), d...
