Weeds in a changing climate
Societal Impact Statement Reducing herbicide use and preparing agroecosystems for climate change are two top priorities on the global policy agenda. Here, we explore whether these two challenges can be tackled simultaneously. While weeds are generally considered a threat to crop production, we show that weeds can help overcome climate change challenges in agroecosystems. However, crop–weed interactions need to be carefully managed. Options for th…
Macroplastic deposition and flushing in the Meuse river following the July 2021 European floods
Rivers play an important role in the macroplastics transport and retention dynamics in the environment. Therefore, gaining an understanding of these processes is vital in order to help determine the fate of macroplastic in the environment. During flood events the transport of floating macroplastic is known to increase. We compared plastic accumulation and flushing on sixteen riverbanks along the Dutch Meuse river during the period that includes t…
Rivers running green
Water hyacinth is an aquatic free-floating plant that is highly invasive, to the extent that it is now present in most freshwater bodies in sub-tropical and tropical regions worldwide. Due to the ecological and socio-economic damages these plants can cause, monitoring their spatial coverage and seasonality is key for development of timely and efficient mitigation measures. Hyacinth patches are sufficiently large to be detectable in high-resolutio…
Impact of long‐term sub‐soiling tillage on soil porosity and soil physical properties in the soil profile
Long‐term conventional tillage leads to soil compaction and formation of a plough layer, which affects soil physical properties, transport of water, and growth of crop roots toward deeper soil, resulting in soil degradation and a decline in crop productivity. Long‐term sub‐soiling tillage has proven to be an effective measure for remediating the plough layer and improving the structure and physical properties of the soil. In this study, we experi…
Semi-arid groundwater systems and their response to global change
The value of numerical modeling of aquifers in data-poor regions
Sensitivity to long-term climate change of subpermafrost groundwater systems in Svalbard
Deep subpermafrost aquifers are highly climate-dependent, with the permafrost as an aquitard preventing groundwater recharge and discharge. A study from the high-arctic island of Spitsbergen, Svalbard, shows that during a glacial to interglacial phase, both the permafrost and the glacier regime will respond to climatic changes, and a glacier-fed groundwater flow system will vary accordingly. A full glaciation results in the melting of permafrost,…
