Belated update from the Ecotron ResCUE experiment 🌱
The first sampling after 6 weeks of drought is completed 🌞, now we're waiting for 6 weeks of recovery to sample again. 🌧️
Let's see how plant functional diversity shapes the communities' resistance! 📏🏋️♂️

The Ecotron is an experimental facility that allows "full control" of environmental conditions. ECO³ will use it to follow crops and soils over eight years, tracking plant development along with soil biology, chemistry and hydrology.

That's the challenge Dr. Leemans (University of Liège) will tackle at the AnaEE Science conference in Menton, with a presentation on the design of ECO³, the next long-term experiment at the TERRA-Ecotron.

🌱 Root harvest at the Ecotron!
Together with Liesje Mommer’s group from Wageningen University & Research (@w-u-r.bsky.social) , we’re harvesting and processing roots to explore belowground plant responses and root functioning. 🔬🌱

The Deep Soil Ecotron allows researchers to simulate various climatic events like wet years or droughts, which may one day help farmers respond to extreme weather, manage soil, and improve yields.
Deep Soils Could Hold Keys to Climate Resilience
A new research center is investigating how ancient soils could help farmers adapt to climate change and a warmer future.
