27/04/2022 New lab visitors!
We received the visit from the researcher Alex Milcu, who is the director the CNRS Ecotron of Montpellier and researcher at the CNRS, Centre d’Ecologie Fonctionnelle et Evolutive (France).
He is an ecosystem ecologist working on the consequences of biodiversity loss and climate change on the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems.
In this talk, he presented the capabilities of advanced controlled environment facilities for ecosystem research (Ecotrons). ECOTRONS are of great interest because they have the capacity to simultaneously control environmental conditions while allowing for ecosystem-level measurements of carbon and water fluxes.
We also received a visit from the researcher Mar Sobral, and we are sure that new ideas and projects will come out of these meetings.
