Pilot beheer en inzaaien bloemrijke dijken Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal : rapportage 2023
van der Zee, Friso
Samenvatting
In 2017, an experiment was set up at two locations along the dike of the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal. The aim of the trial was to investigate whether grasslands along the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal can be made more flowery and thereby continue to guarantee or even improve water safety (erosion resistance). To make the grassland more flowery, an existing dike vegetation has been sown with herbs. The effect of carefully removing the clippings was also investigated by having part of the route managed by another contractor. Developments were monitored over the next six years.
