EcoLab500
The EcoLab500 is a measuring system t o study comprehensively ecosystem functions in the soilplant-atmosphere continuum
At a glance:
- Soil Unit with soil sensors (temperature, tension, water content), suction cups or suction plates, soil cooling system and weighing system
- Atmosphere Unit with air sensors (temperature, humidity), fans and irrigation system
- Sun simulator with high-performance LED lighting, separately dimmable wavelengths (blue, red, white), cycle simulations of day light spectrum possible
- Control Unit with power supply for the sensors and actuators as well as a PLC for the digital connection of all sensors and actuators and for the implementation of all control processes and for data recording
Advantages
- Study complex interaction between pedosphere, flora, fauna and atmosphere
- A range of optional accessories allows adaption to a wide range of research questions
- Compact: fits in an area of 1.5 x 1.5 meters
- Easy to set up: can be set up by hand by two persons only
