Complementary funding codes: 4253 - BRAIN-be(Belgian Research Action through Interdisciplinary Networks) Acronym: PERSUADE Period: January 2018 till December 2021 Status: Completed
PERSUADE will investigate how the introduction of offshore windfarms, through the associated changes in biodiversity (colonisation by fouling fauna, changes in benthic communities) will affect the nitrogen cycling at the local scale. Furthermore, we will investigate how these changes interact with the effects of climate change and/or the combination with aquaculture
