Microbial electrochemical technologies (MET) can remove a variety of organic and inorganic pollutants from contaminated groundwater. However, despite significant laboratory-scale successes over the past decade, field-scale applications remain limited. We hypothesize that enhancing the electrochemical conductivity of the soil surrounding electrodes could be a groundbreaking and cost-effective alternative to deploying numerous high-surface-area electrodes in short distances.

The disparity in scale, complexity, and control level between laboratory experiments and field observational studies has shaped both the methodologies employed and the nature of the research questions pursued in ecology and hydrology. While lysimeters and fabricated ecosystems suitably fit in this gap, their use as mesoscale experimental facilities has not been fully explored because of the limited manipulating capabilities and integration with imaging and monitoring methods, particularly for soil functioning. The proposed fabricated ecosystem (4.
