Navarre, Nicolas (author)Copper-based fungicides (CuFs) are used in vineyards and fruit-farms as a preventive form of pathogen control. These have a fungicidal impact against mildew infections (Plasmopara viticola) and other fungi that attack grapevines causing poor plant development, fruit rot, and ultimately, poor wine production. If applied annually in large...master thesis 2019

Ciullo, A. (author), de Bruijn, Karin M. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Klijn, F. (author)Most alluvial plains in the world are protected by flood defences, for example, embankments, whose primary aim is to reduce the probability of flooding of the protected areas. At the same time, however, the presence of embankments at one area influences hydraulic conditions of downstream areas located on the same river. These hydraulic...journal article 2019

(author)To account for progress towards conservation targets, monitoring systems should capture not only information on biodiversity but also knowledge on the dynamics of ecological processes and the related effects on human well-being. Protected areas represent complex social-ecological systems with strong human-nature interactions. They are able to...review 2019
