Article Synopsis
- Ecosystems face threats from human-induced global changes, making it essential to study their functioning through experiments and modelling in controlled environments, known as ecotrons.
- This paper highlights 13 advanced ecotrons available to researchers worldwide, which simulate various natural conditions for studying ecosystem processes while measuring greenhouse gas exchanges and other factors.
- The research in these ecotrons covers a range of topics, primarily focusing on global changes, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem physiology, with a call for improved methodologies and stronger connections to modelling for future studies.
Stereo vision is a 3D imaging method that allows quick measurement of plant architecture. Historically, the method has mainly been developed in controlled conditions. This study identified several challenges to adapt the method to natural field conditions and propose solutions.
