Ecosystems
The NIOO stimulates Dutch ecological research and forms an important link for ecology between knowledge institutions and between science and society. The NIOO studies the functioning of ecosystems on land and in water, and how these systems respond to natural changes and human influences. With this knowledge, the NIOO contributes to the development of new strategies for a sustainable future of life on earth: Ecology for life!
