Bulletin board: information on research locations

selected study locations
In preparation of the actual research programme, a group of experts selected a number of suitable study locations in different parts of the Netherlands, i.e.:
- Afferdensche and Deestsche Waarden
- Biesbosch
- Ronde Venen

selection criteria on the basis of which the study locations have been selected
Important selection criteria were prior knowledge, ecology, chemistry, gradient, function, logistics and relevance for government policies. All study locations were picked in order to enable research in different type settings within the same study area: river floodplains, grassland and still water.

location coordinators
A location coordinator was appointed for each study location. The coordinator coordinated all research in his study location and organised the logistics. The location coordinators were:
Afferdensche and Deestsche Waarden; Dr W.C. Ma and Mr P.A.F. de Bie (Alterra)
Biesbosch; Dr C.A.M. van Gestel and Mr C. Verhoeff (VUA)
Ronde Venen; Dr M. Rutgers and Mr J.J. Bogte (RIVM)
