Project: EcoLab flex for Uni Lausanne

The researchers want to find out how vegetation influences the development of bacterial activity in the soil, e.g. the production of greenhouse gases.

We’re thrilled to announce the installation of our newest EcoLab Flex for Paolo Benettin and his research team at Université de Lausanne. This customized ecotron was designed to explore how vegetation influences:

1) water movements through the vadose zone,
2) the transport of geogenic solutes and pollutants in the subsurface, and
3) the evolution of soil bacterial activity, including the production of greenhouse gases.

We’re excited to see the first results emerging and wish the team all the best with this fascinating and highly relevant research!
