IBED

The institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED) conducts research into the dynamics of nature and landscape in a changing world. We analyse and forecast the human and natural impact on ecosystem performance. We were founded in 2000 and have now performed 10 years of research into climate change, land degradation, biodiversity preservation, global food and water supplies, and other issues of public importance. In this decade IBED has established a leading position in Dutch and international research. This book illustrates the social relevance of our work. IBED scientist join with their counterparts in the community in search of answers to 10 questions of public importance.
