We’re happy to share that the first testing of our Ecotron system has started (many thanks to our civil servant Sébastien Rogers for making this possible).

The Ecotron is a box (3 m3) that allows simulating environmental conditions like solar radiation and precipitation, but also soil groundwater dynamics. It has a sensor system that allows continuous control and monitoring throughout experiments that can run anywhere from a few days to several months.
