Wageningen University & Research is advertising a fully funded PhD on moss traits, bryophytes, fire ignitability, peatland, tundra, and vegetation-climate feedbacks . The project asks how moss functional traits influence fire ignition and fire dynamics in high-latitude ecosystems , including boreal peatlands and tundra, where warming, permafrost thaw, and increasing fire frequency are reshaping carbon storage and ecosystem functioning. The PhD is embedded in the Plant Ecology and Nature Conserva...

PhD opening at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) in the newly granted NWO-ASCENT project. The project is part of a collaboration with researchers from multiple universities in the Netherlands and focuses on how remote sensing can be used to quantify ecosystem functioning in grasslands and forests in response to nitrogen deposition (N deposition) . This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates with experience or strong interest in combining ecological field work , lab anal...

Wageningen University & Research is advertising a fully funded PhD position on the link between mountains, downstream agriculture, and ecosystems globally. The project, MountAInWater , focuses on how mountain processes shape the global hydrological cycle, how snow and ice melt sustain downstream water supply, and how climate change may alter water availability for agriculture and ecosystems. The PhD student will work within the chair group Water Systems and Global Change and will use large-scale...
