Rapid Assessment Units: experimental climate controlled units (R-15125)

The Ecotron RAU consists of 8 climate-independent experimental chambers where (agricultural) ecosystem units are subjected to experimental treatments of several weeks to several months that represent changes in the environment such as nitrogen deposition, climate change, application of soil improvers, land use change, with the aim of improving the response of the ecosystem (including biodiversity, soil health, carbon, nutrient and water balance) on the experimental treatment.
