Abstract:
The Terrestrial Ecology unit (TEREC) studies patterns and processes underlying the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. The unit therefore runs competitive research programs on population and community dynamics, biotic interactions and life-history strategies in a wide suite of plants and animals. Research activities comprise field observations, field- and lab experiments and computer simulations, and results are interpreted both within a fundamental (evolutionary-ecological) and applied (conservation-oriented) framework. To reach scientific excellence and sustain technological innovation, our researchers are active in various national and international research networks, such as SPEEDY, MAD, EVENET and CONGENOMICS.

The marine research mainly focuses on coastal research projects. The coastal region of Flanders comprises unique ecosystems that are typically highly dynamic by nature (beaches, salt marshes, dunes) and under severe anthropogenic pressure or use (harbours). The unit studies to which degree these dynamics alter the functioning of the (terrestrial) coastal ecosystems by focusing on vegetation dynamics, the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of threatened arthropods, plant-arthropod interactions, and gull life histories.
