Salt marsh development in tidal restoration projects

Allowing tidal influences back in these areas will create major changes. This can be seen for instance in the Rammegors project, in the Eastern Scheldt, and the Perkpolder project, in the Western Scheldt. In this assignment, factors affecting the development of the salt marsh vegetation will be studied, to develop generic knowledge for future tidal restoration projects. The assignment is a collaboration between the Research Group Building with Nature of the HZ and NIOZ.
