Dit rapport betreft een aanvullende technische documentatie van het recreatiemodel AVANAR, versie 2.0.AVANAR staat voor Afstemming Vraag & Aanbod Natuur Als Recreatieruimte. Om de A-status voor modellen te verkrijgen, wordt AVANAR in deze rapportage a) kort beschreven en b) op die onderdelen nader toegelicht die nog niet eerder of sterk versnipperd...
This deliverable describes a formalizlogistical concepts in the practicalchains and for assessing theiBeWhere and LocaGIStics. It describesthese two logistical assessment toolsinterlinked so that LocaGIStics can further refine and detail the outcomes of theBeWhere model and that the BeWhere model can use the outcome of theLocaGIStics model to modif...
Abstract How complexity of food webs relates to stability has been a subject of many studies. Often, unweighted connectance is used to express complexity. Unweighted connectance is measured as the proportion of realized links in the network. Weighted connectance, on the other hand, takes link weights (fluxes or feeding rates) into account and captu...
Het Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving en Alterra Wageningen UR hebben de MetaNatuurplanner ontwikkeld om op nationale of regionale schaal de effecten van beleid en beheeringrepen op de biodiversiteit te bepalen. Het model legt relaties tussen de milieu-, water- en ruimtecondities en de duurzame instandhouding van de biodiversiteit en wordt gebruikt v...
The S2Biom project - Delivery of sustainable supply of non-food biomass to support a “resource-efficient” Bioeconomy in Europe - supports the sustainable delivery of nonfood biomass feedstock at local, regional and pan European level through developing strategies, and roadmaps that will be informed by a “computerized and easy to use” toolset (and r...
Dynamical ecosystem models are important tools that can help ecologists understand complex systems, and turn understanding into predictions of how these systems respond to external changes. This thesis revolves around PCLake, an integrated ecosystem model of shallow lakes that is used by both scientists and water quality managers to understand and ...
To increase crop production and improve food self-sufficiency, rain-fed agriculture need to be supplemented with irrigated agriculture. To this end, a large number of reservoirs had been constructed in Ethiopia. However, reservoirs are suffering from sedimentation. This study was conducted in Minizr catchment, NW Ethiopia to (1) quantify the sedime...
The production of nanoparticles (NPs) has increased in the last decades and the number of products in which NPs are being incorporated is still growing. The rapid increase of nanotechnology has several benefits for society, yet there is an increasing concern that exposure to NPs may result in significant adverse health effects. Since NPs are incorp...
