ter Hofstede, R. (author), Bouma, Tjeerd J. (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author)Marine reef ecosystems have degraded massively worldwide, and restoration efforts have as yet not managed to realize the scale required to reverse continued degradation. To achieve effective scales, scientific insights in restoration methods should be paired with industry-based approaches used for infrastructural development. We illustrate by...journal article 2023

(author)Seagrass meadows provide valuable ecosystem services of coastal protection and chemical habitat formation that could help mitigate the impact of sea level rise and ocean acidification. However, the intensification of hydrodynamic forces caused by sea level rise, in addition to habitat degradation threaten the provision of these ecosystem...journal article 2023

van Bijsterveldt, Celine E.J. (author), van der Wal, Daphne (author), Gijón Mancheño, A. (author), Fivash, Gregory S. (author), Helmi, Muhammad (author), Bouma, T.J. (author)Mangrove forests are increasingly valued as wave-attenuating buffers in coastal flood defence strategies. However, as mangroves are vulnerable to wave-induced erosion, this raises the question, how can the stability of these protective mangrove forests be promoted? To address this question, we investigate how mangrove dynamics in a microtidal...journal article 2023

(author), de Jong, Kornelis (author), Nieuwenhuis, Jan Willem (author), Govers, Laura L. (author), Olff, Han (author), Bouma, Tjeerd J. (author)Salt marshes fronting coastal structures, such as seawalls and dikes, may offer important ecosystem-based coastal defence by reducing the wave loading and run-up levels during storms. We question (i) how the long-term salt marsh development in the Dutch Wadden Sea relates to the tidal-flat foreshore bathymetry and (ii) how the wave run-up...journal article 2023

Bouma, Debby (author), Canbaloğlu, Gülay (author), Treur, J. (author), Wiewiora, Anna (author)This research addresses the influence of leadership and communication on learning within an organisation by direct mutual interactions in dyads. This is done in combination with multilevel organizational learning as an alternative route, which includes feed forward and feedback learning.

(author), Hofland, Bas (author)With the capacity to reduce wave energy and trap sediment, Scirpus mariqueter has become an important native species of annual grass for ecology restoration at the Yangtze Estuary in eastern China. Due to seasonal variances of biophysical characteristics, S. mariqueter usually bends and breaks in winter, resulting in flattened stems that may...journal article 2023

(author)Worldwide, communities are facing increasing flood risk, due to more frequent and intense hazards and rising exposure through more people living along coastlines and in flood plains. Nature-based Solutions (NbS), such as mangroves, and riparian forests, offer huge potential for adaptation and risk reduction. The capacity of trees and forests...journal article 2022

van Belzen, Jim (author), Fivash, Gregory S. (author), Hu, Zhan (author), Bouma, T.J. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author)The establishment of young organisms in harsh environments often requires a window of opportunity (WoO). That is, a short time window in which environmental conditions drop long enough below the hostile average level, giving the organism time to develop tolerance and transition into stable existence. It has been suggested that this kind of...journal article 2022

(author)Salt marshes can contribute to coastal protection, but the magnitude of the protection depends on the width of the marsh. The cross-shore width of the marsh is to a large extent determined by the delicate balance between seaward expansion and landward retreat. The influence of the magnitude of daily occurring mild weather conditions and...journal article 2022
