National Academic Research and Collaborations Information System (NARCIS) is the main Dutch national portal for those looking for information about researchers and their work. NARCIS aggregates data from around 30 institutional repositories. Besides researchers, NARCIS is also used by students, journalists and people working in educational and government institutions as well as the business sector.
NARCIS provides access to scientific information, including (open access) publications from the repositories of all the Dutch universities, KNAW, NWO and a number of research institutes, datasets from some data archives as well as descriptions of research projects, researchers and research institutes.
This means that NARCIS cannot be used as an entry point to access complete overviews of publications of researchers (yet). However, there are more institutions that make all their scientific publications accessible via NARCIS. By doing so, it will become possible to create much more complete publication lists of researchers.
In 2004, the development of NARCIS started as a cooperation project of KNAW Research Information, NWO, VSNU and METIS, as part of the development of services within the DARE programme of SURFfoundation. This project resulted in the NARCIS portal, in which the DAREnet service was incorporated in January 2007. NARCIS has been part of DANS since 2011.
DANS - Data Archiving and Networked Services - is the Netherlands Institute for permanent access to digital research resources. DANS encourages researchers to make their digital research data and related outputs Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.

Displaying 1221 - 1225 of 1863Soil organic matter dynamics after the conversion of arable land to pasture
Conversion of arable land (maize) to pasture will affect the soil organic matter (SOM) content. Changes in the SOM content were studied using a size- and density-fractionation method and C-13 analysis. Twenty-six years of maize cropping had resulted in a depletion of carbon stored in the macro-organic fractions (>150 mu m) and an increase in the 250 mu m), light (b.d. 150 mu m) and light (b.d. 150 mu m; b.d. >1.13 g cm(-3)) in the 0- to 20-cm layer was still 40-50% lower than in the continuous pasture plots.

Multifunctionele landbouw; ruimtelijke verkenning van de landelijke behoefte op gemeenteniveau
In deze studie staan twee beleidsvragen centraal. De eerste is in welke gebieden in Nederland er behoefte is aan een grotere bijdrage van de landbouw aan een aantrekkelijke leefomgeving of beheer van strategische voorraden. De tweede is waar grote behoeften aan multifunctionele landbouw van de functies aantrekkelijke leefomgeving of beheer van strategische voorraden samenvallen met de behoefte om de economische productiefunctie versterken. De verkenning is uitgevoerd op gemeenteniveau. Per functie isgezocht naar een indicator die de behoefte aan multifunctionele landbouw weergeeft.
On the move : mobility, land use and livelihood practices on the Central Plateau in Burkina Faso
Chapter 2 situates the scene by presenting the historical background to the research area. First, a brief outline of the research village's history is provided. The main part of the chapter is devoted to the elaboration of case material relating to a number of conflicts over land, along the border between the kingdom of Ratenga and the kombere of Piugtenga and in which the village of Ziinoogo has been involved.
