Effects of climate change on groundwater dependent vegetation. Uncertainties in a changing environment.:A case study in the Kleine Nete basin, Belgium. ; Effecten van klimaatverandering op grondwaterafhankelijke vegetaties. Onzekerheden in een veranderende omgeving:Gevalstudie in de Kleine Nete

Most climate scenarios predict an increase in potential evapotranspiration and an increase in seasonal differences in precipitation for the northwest European region. The combination of changes in precipitation and potential evapotranspiration influences the groundwater system. As a result the vegetation types that strongly depend on groundwater levels and seepage will change also. The possible effects of climate change on groundwater dependent vegetation was modelled through a chain of climate, groundwater and an ecological model in the basin of the Kleine Nete in Belgium. The climate of the... Mehr ...
