Pasture protection: adequate shelter for animals kept outdoors
Main research questionIn the Pasture Protection project, we are determining which tree species and shrub plantings are most adequate as shelter for animals kept outdoors, and which, in addition to having a good effect on animal welfare, also score in terms of forage value, wind resistance and exposure to soil compaction.

Maize crop residues crucial for carbon in the soil
Maize crop residues crucial for carbon in the soil
The root biomass of maize contributes - relatively speaking - twice or even three times as much to the build-up of stable soil organic matter in the soil as the above-ground crop residues (maize straw) do.

Coastal protection
Traditional forms of coastal protection such as sand barriers, dikes and dams are being questioned due to their high maintenance costs, limited flexibility and negative ecological impact. Therefore natural alternatives are being tested, which work with nature instead of against it.
Coastal protection must ensure adequate defenses against the sea while taking into account climate change and rising sea levels.
