Introduction
Maud is a senior ecologist currently working at the Research Institute for Nature and Forest. She’s lucky to coördinate and work at projects related to ecosystem restoration and the functioning of ecosystems in relation to environmental pressures or climate change. She is experienced in project development, project management and ecological modeling. She is also interested in the interface between science and policy, searching for good strategies and communication tools.

Article
Aims: Historical land use legacies and chemical soil characteristics both explain either directly or indirectly the habitat quality of Nardus grassland, which is protected under the European habitat directive. Yet the relative importance and complementarity of both sets of variables are generally unknown. This knowledge is also relevant for practic...

English abstract. This report describes the situation of the Kallemoeie-Papelenvijver in terms of physico-chemical water quality, macrophytes (riparian and aquatic vegetation) and avifauna in the monitoring period 2015-2019 and provides a comparison with the previous reporting of the monitoring period 2001-2015. Based on the available data, there i...

De vertaling van het Europese natuurbeleid (Habitat- en Vogelrichtlijn) naar regionaal niveau gebeurt via een reeks van instandhoudingsdoelstellingen. Kwantitatieve doelstellingen voor voor de speciale beschermingszone ‘Duingebieden inclusief IJzermonding en het Zwin’ (HBE2500001) omvatten een substantiële uitbreiding van duingrasland (2130), duinh...
Article
Past intensive land use complicates the successful restoration of oligotrophic species-rich grassland types. One of the major bottlenecks are the elevated nutrient levels due to fertilization, especially residual phosphorus (P). Aiming to deplete nutrients, managers often reintroduce traditional haymaking management, sometimes combined with grazing...

Om meer berging mogelijk te maken in de Makvallei wordt ondermeer een nieuwe meanderarm uitgegraven ter hoogte van Meerle. De percelen tussen de Mark en de gerealiseerde meanderarm zullen gedeeltelijk worden afgegraven. Naast het streven naar een verbetering van waterkwaliteit, structuur van de waterloop en bergend vermogen wenst de Vlaamse Milieum...

Om na te gaan in welke mate kruidenrijke graslandcomplexen -leefgebied voor de kwartelkoning en paapje- of moerasvegetaties kunnen gerealiseerd worden in combinatie met specifieke beheer- en vernattingsmaatrgelen wordt een gericht bodemchemisch onderzoek gevoerd. De meeste gronden in het projectgebied zijn of waren in het recente verleden in landbo...

Banks of navigable canals are often stabilized with "hard" materials resulting in unsuitable conditions for marginal riparian vegetation. A constructed marginal shallow and sheltered water zone can favour riparian vegetation. In 1998, a new canal branch with shallow water zones was constructed along the canal Ghent-Bruges (Belgium). This study anal...

Alarmed by the worldwide loss of biodiversity, several international initiatives are undertaken to gather knowledge on biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration. Within the Natura 2000 network, member states of the EU are urged to take measures for maintaining and restoring natural habitats. For Flanders, new natural habitat has to be res...
