Come and visit us!

All over the world, ecosystems are facing the many global environmental changes. This affects everything: Agriculture, urban planning, groundwater. Lysimeters and Ecotrons accurately measure these changes, helping to better understand soils, waters and plants.

For example, you can use our lysimeter technology for ecosystem water balance studies, site evapotranspiration, or water requirements of irrigated crops. Also, use our mini-labs to simulate different land use types and how certain ecosystems respond to different climate conditions.

Our workshop gives you insights into the latest research
