Nerdland – CanopyChange
Op Nerdland festival voerden we een experiment uit tezamen met meer dan 400 festivalbezoekers! We stelden onszelf de vraag of zomereiken een verschillend aantal huidmondjes op hun bladeren hebben afhankelijk van het microklimaat dat ze ervaren. Een zomereik die op een parking staat, ervaart andere temperaturen dan een zomereik die in een bosje op een eiland staat. Zomereiken die op de parking van het provinciaal domein Puyenbroeck staan zullen in de zomermaanden warmere temperaturen ervaren omdat ze in volle zon staan omgeven door asfalt. Zomereiken in een bosje op een eiland van het provinciaal domein zijn daarentegen omringd door andere bomen, staan in de schaduw en zijn omgeven door water. Wanneer bomen droogtestress ervaren sluiten ze hun huidmondjes, de poriën in het blad waarmee ze CO2 opnemen, maar ook waterdamp verliezen. Zo houden ze meer water vast en kunnen ze vermijden dat blaadjes verwelken. De hypothese luidde daarom dat zomereiken op de parking sneller hitte- en droogtestress ervaren vergeleken met zomereiken op het festivaleiland en bijgevolg verwachten we dat bomen op de parking meer huidmondjes hebben om hun waterverlies efficiënter te regelen.

Het mengen van boomsoorten levert heel wat voordelen voor de biodiversiteit. Dat onthulden we vorige week samen met ForNaLab als resultaat van het grootschalige FORBIO-experiment in Vloethemveld. treedivnet.ugent.be/experiments/...

ForNaLab, the lab of Plant Ecology and the UAV Research Center are joining forces to make Bruges a climate-robust city. This is done by better mapping the (irrigation) needs of urban trees and feeding tree monitoring data to a decision-supporting dashboard. 🌳

The first pilot of the climate-resilient urban green project in Bruges is starting! 🌿🌍 20 ha of new forest will be planted in Beisbroek along the E40, with test plots to study different plant combinations.

Stad Brugge start met proefaanplantingen in Beisbroek: “Bossen van de toekomst klimaatrobuust maken”
Tussen de E40 en Beisbroekdreef wordt binnenkort liefst 10 hectare grond beplant. De extra aanplantingen komen er dankzij een Europees project waar Stad Brugge samen met de Universiteit van Gent aan deelneemt. Het internationaal project wil zo veel mogelijk kennis vergaren over de klimaatrobuustheid van de bossen van de toekomst. “Zo kunnen we de groeistadia van diverse bomen en struiken met elkaar vergelijken”, zegt schepen van Openbaar Domein Franky Demon (CD&V).
