As a PhD-candidate in plant ecology, I am working in the Future Dikes project. Together with my promotors, we are studying how a species rich grass cover can improve the structural integrity of river dikes, now and in the future. This is very relevant, as the summers are getting warmer and dryer and could thereby damage the structural integrity. We will be testing new seed mixtures on their establishment, rooting patterns and drought resistance in order to find new ideotypes.
