Open time slot for your own experiment in our indoor mesocosm facility
via Aquacosm_plus: bit.ly/Aquacosm_ta_uol
Access Date: Aug 1, 2023 – Sep 30, 2023
Application Deadline: Apr 28, 2023
Open time slot for indoor mesocosm experiments for AQUACOSM-plus funded users' own projects. We offer 12 mesocosms with a volume of 600 L each that can be used for marine or freshwater experiments. Please contact the facility provider well in advance to discuss ideas and feasibility of your planned mesocosm experiments.
2022
Project:
| ‘SubOptTrons’ – Unravelling the effects of supra-optimal temperatures and varying N:P ratios on North Sea microplankton communities (Antonia Uthoff et al., AQUACOSM_plus TA, EU) |
Project:
| ‘Fluctotrons’ – Decoupling of deterministic and stochastic fluctuations in temperature and light for a natural freshwater plankton community (Miriam Gerhard et al., AQUACOSM_plus TA, EU) |
2020-2021
| The Planktotrons were used as Incubators for different temperature scenarios as large mesocosm experiments were not possible due to the COVID pandemic |
