The dimensions of these vessels are: 0.97 m in diameter, a depth between 1.32 m (side) and 1.37 m (centre), and a volume of 922 L. The vessels can be closed with a removable PMMA flange lid. In addition to the possibility to sample vertically with specifically designed integrated water samples, sampling can also be done by using the sampling ports positioned on three depths. If needed, mixing of the water column can take place by an impeller made of PMMA, with a stainless steel axis, and a silicon rubber strip between the outside and the Limnotron wall to prevent wall growth. To create a different type of mixing more tailored to growth of cyanobacterial scums, oscillating grids have been designed. Originally designed to study pelagic communities, the Limnotrons have been adapted to allow for a benthic community as well. At present, each Limnotron can have a sediment layer of 10-15 cm, and with the recently purchased high intensity lights, a macrophyte community can be established in these mesocosms. A unique feature of the limnotrons is the temperature regulation with separate upper and lower temperature blocks to allow for thermal stratification. A thermostatically regulated microprocessor-controlled cooling and heating installation controls the temperature of each of the vessels individually at 0.1 oC SE. The temperature program allows for running complicated temperature scenarios, including episodic events. Temperature is logged every minute.  Because of possible volume differences due to temperature settings, evaporation losses and sampling, a (refillable) expansion vessel was developed, which maintains a constant water volume in the experimental vessel. In addition, CO2 levels can be manipulated as well, by providing different CO2 /air mixtures with a WITT KM60-2ME gas mixer. -","Temperature, Light, Mixing regime, CO2 +","temperature +light +mixing regime +CO2 ","The Limnotrons can be used to test the effect of warming, eutrophication and CO2 elevation on carbon cycling, stoichiometry of different trophic groups, nutrient balances, metabolism, adaptation and microevolution and community structure of phytoplankton, zooplankton, macrofauna, periphyton and macrophytes.

This innovative infrastructure includes a range of environments from semi-arid conditions to mountaintops. A total of 192 mesocosms, each 0.70 m deep and 1.85 m in diameter, are deployed across 6 regions on the Iberian Peninsula. Locations include semi-arid, Mediterranean, temperate and alpine environments. This distribution of sites along a climatic gradient over a large area is expected to provide insights into effects of climate change, biogeography, biotic interactions, biodiversity and ecosystem processes in pond food webs. At each location, 32 mesocosms with a volume of 1000 l each are located at ca. 3-5 m distance from one another. The mesocosms are equipped with an automated system controlling temperature and water level, thus enabling simulations of future climatic conditions. The mesocosms were set-up and initiated by adding 100 kg of locally collected topsoil, then filled with local water. All mesocosms have been left untouched until 2019 to allow establishment of aquatic food webs, but can from now on be used for a variety of climate change manipulations, which can take the form of warming experiments, space-for-time substitutions across the network, or a combination of both.

This innovative infrastructure includes a range of environments from semi-arid conditions to mountaintops. A total of 192 mesocosms, each 0.70 m deep and 1.85 m in diameter, are deployed across 6 regions on the Iberian Peninsula. Locations include semi-arid, Mediterranean, temperate and alpine environments. This distribution of sites along a climatic gradient over a large area is expected to provide insights into effects of climate change, biogeography, biotic interactions, biodiversity and ecosystem processes in pond food webs. At each location, 32 mesocosms with a volume of 1000 l each are located at ca. 3-5 m distance from one another. The mesocosms are equipped with an automated system controlling temperature and water level, thus enabling simulations of future climatic conditions. The mesocosms were set-up and initiated by adding 100 kg of locally collected topsoil, then filled with local water. All mesocosms have been left untouched until 2019 to allow establishment of aquatic food webs, but can from now on be used for a variety of climate change manipulations, which can take the form of warming experiments, space-for-time substitutions across the network, or a combination of both. In addition, the IPN can be used for studies addressing fundamental questions relating to spatial patterns of community composition and function at biogeographical scales. 192 mesocosms deployed across six regions.

Experimental ponds and tanks (mesocosms) function as surrogates of the natural environment and permit replication of treatments and controls. They allow rigorous tests of ecological relationships, which otherwise can be difficult to identify in natural settings. Outdoor facilities: The Aquatic Research Facility was developed in stages over a 40-year period.  It now is one of the largest aquatic research facilities in the U.S. and is used to address both basic and applied research questions. Major components of the Aquatic Research Facility infrastructure include 100 experimental ponds ranging in size from 0.01 to 0.8 hectares; 77 ponds are 0.045 hectares, and 10 are 0.01 hectares. These ponds are filled/drained from the bottom, which allows ponds to function as experimental wetlands or lentic systems. In addition, the facility has 80 large, 11‐cubic‐meter fiberglass tanks and a variety of enclosures that can be used for in situ experiments in any of the ponds. Experimental short flow through streams can also be constructed and used on site. On a larger scale, Cross Reservoir (Surface area 3 hectares, 12 meters deep, 50-hectare watershed) serves as a model of small Midwestern reservoirs. Details on the biotic and abiotic conditions in Cross can be found in deNoyelles et al. 2016. Experimental aquatic systems such as these effectively simulate lakes and reservoirs in central North America. Small ponds are a critical link between aquatic and terrestrial habitats because they often are the first type of aquatic habitat to receive nonpoint source pollutants. Indoor facilities: A 325-square-meter greenhouse/mesocosm building, constructed in 2013, provides modern climate‐ controlled space that facilitates year‐round aquatic studies. A freestanding 110-square-meter aquatic research laboratory provides a space for sample preparation and analyses and is equipped with a flow-through water supply from the pond infrastructure. In addition, the Armitage Education Center has adjacent wet and dry laboratory facilities, a full kitchen, showers, laundry, classroom, and meeting space to accommodate up to 55 people. Two sleeping cabins are available to researchers for longer overnight stays. -","Our outdoor and indoor facilities allow a multitude of parameters to be manipulated or controlled at varying scales.

The Lapitxuri semi-natural stream (15 km from the INRA St Pée Institute) is fed by a diversion of a natural headwater stream. It is separated into 13 consecutive reaches (10m x 2.8m) allowing it to work with pseudo-replicates (each reach can be closed by downstream traps). T). Direct underwater observations can be performed on two reaches from an underground room. More classical mesocosms are available: 16 swedish tanks (2.5 m3), 8 circular tanks (0.1 m3), 6 indoor flumes (4.5 m long), 8 outdoor flumes (11m x 0.5m). At the INRA St Pée Institute, a large 25 m3 circular flume (fluvarium) consists in 2 longitudinal sections (10 m x 1 m) separated by upstream and downstream traps. Water velocity (controlled by a propeller), light (twilight period possible), temperature (air+water), substratum and depth can be controlled. Two smaller circular devices (tidal aquaria) consist of a 400 L aquarium where flow direction changes alternatively. They are located in two similar rooms, where air and water temperature, as well as light are controlled.

They can be deployed from any mid-sized research vessel. KOSMOS comprises 9 free-floating units, each consisting of a floatation frame and a flexible bag 2 m in diameter. After deployment in the sea, the bag unfolds by weights pulling down its lower end to 20 m depth, thereby enclosing an undisturbed water column of 55 m3. The bag is then closed at the bottom by a full-diameter sediment trap. Regular cleaning of the mesocosm walls prevents wall growth and thus enables long-term experiments that capture plankton seasonal succession. The enclosed water encompasses the entire plankton community from bacteria and viruses up to the level of fish larvae and small pelagic fish. Sampling of sedimented matter in combination with measurements of dissolved and suspended matter and air-sea gas exchange can be used for budget calculations of major elements (C, N, P, Si). Potential experimental perturbations include the addition of inorganic nutrients or organic compounds, carbonate chemistry manipulation (i.e. simulating ocean acidification or alkalisation), manipulation of mixed-layer depth, simulation of deep-water upwelling, species exclusion and addition of invasive species.

Four identical profilers are deployed in the lake at the LakeLab. All profilers are controlled by industrial computers collecting and transmitting data in real-time to a central data base server. The special features of the LakeLab are the unique combination of large size and number of mesocosms enable multi- factorial designs and new research perspectives, including testing of large instruments and calibration opportunities (e.g. remote sensing) not possible in most mesocoms. Further, flexible curtains attached to aluminium floats extending into the sediment enable experiments on benthic-pelagic coupling also during winter, including manipulation of ice and snow coverage. Water renewal by special high-throughput impeller pumps (100 m3/h) minimise disturbance of plankton and provide excellent tools to manipulate mixing regimes and stratification patterns. Gases (N2, CO2, CH4) and solutes can be injected in air-lift systems, whereas application of xenobiotics or introduction of foreign species is precluded. 24 large lake mesocosms, each 9 m diameter, 20 m depth, reaching into the sediment, water volume 1,270 m3 per mesocosm, one additional central unit 30 m diameter, volume 14,000 m3 -","e.g. thermocline depth, stratification, extreme wheather events, browning, nutrients -","Responses of the planktonic food web, biodiversity patterns, and biogeochemical processes and fluxes under climate change scenarios -"," +","thermocline deepening +stratification +browning +nutrient loading (N, P) +ALAN (atrificial light at night) +connectivity +retention time +food web manipulation +fish density +ice","Responses of the planktonic food web, biodiversity patterns, biogeochemical processes, and fluxes under climate change scenarios, effects of extreme weather events on aquatic ecosystems, ALAN and diel vertical migration of zooplankton, connectivity of aquatic ecosystems, remote sensing ground-truthing, metabolism, GHGs."," 53.1520282,13.0233035 -",,,"Each of the 24 mesocosms is equipped with: - -an automatic profiler recordimg PAR, temperature, pH, oxygen, redox potential, conductivity, turbidity, and pigments to distinguish four major algal groups -an industrial computer recording and transmitting the collected data to servers at IGB -sediment traps -a height-adjustable water recirculation system with a perforated ring, rising conduit and pump +","Biodiversity loss/ +Climate change/ +Pollution/ Artificial light at night +Pollution/ Brownification +Pollution/ Nutrient pollution","outdoor +pelagic +benthic +freshwater +deep lake system +all season +ice cover +in situ +plankton +macrophytes +DVM +","The LakeLab is in close proximity to well-equipped laboratories of IGB’s Department of Plankton and Microbial Ecology, located directly on the lakeshore.

Outdoor- pelagic – marine, brackish, (freshwater), 24 tanks of 1 m3. Sediment may be added. The facility is located close to the seashore in the northern part of the Baltic Sea. The water outside of the field station is ice covered for 3-5 months a year, and brackish with a salinity around 3 PSU. The water intake to the indoor mesocosms is situated 800 m off-shore at 2 and 8 meter depths. The mesocosms can also be filled with sea, lake or river water transported from elsewhere. Filling can be done through filters of selectable mesh sizes, down to 1 μm, an semi-automatic water renewal system with controllable turnover rate are also available. The indoor facility consists of 12 cylindrical mesocosms with water columns 4.86 m high and 0.73 m in diameter (volume ca. 2 m3). Temperature can be controlled and manipulated in 3 different sections of each mesocosm. This enables for projects that require stratification, controlled convective stirring or both. The light sources are Valoya R-258 (Light DNA), especially produced with the aim to closely mimic the spectra of the sun. These lamps are handled by time-programs that controls spectra and intensity according to lattitude and time of day.   Four freezers are installed on top of every three mesocosms, this enables control of the air temperature above the water columns down to -20o C. Projects that require ice can thus be carried out, and parameters such as freezing or thawing rate can be adjusted. This latter option allows for systematic seeding experiments. The ventilation of the mesocosm hall is controlled by the CO2 content in the room, allowing for natural controls in experiments where the CO2 content in the water is altered. -The outdoor facility is available during summer. It consists of 4 large pools, each carrying 6 cubic mesocosms of 1 m3. The temperature is kept the same as in the water intake by using high rates of water flow through in the pools. Experimental designs can be supported by long-term ecological research time series of variables stored in an easily accessible database on the internet. About 70 international researchers have used the mesocosm facility during numerous experiments conducted over the past 10 years.

",2023 - present,"The flumes system is fed with water coming directly from the Po river. By exploiting a natural pool and using a small barrier to regulate the water stage, water is made to flow into a pipeline connected to the flumes. The pipeline intake (diameter is 0.80 m) is placed close to the pool bottom; a metallic net protects the intake from coarse debris load, preventing the occlusion of the pipeline. Moreover, the rate of incoming water from the river can be regulated thanks to the presence of a sluice gate in front of the intake. A 155 m long pipeline conveys flow from the intake to a loading tank, that acts as a dissipation reservoir and slows down the incoming flow. This main tank is connected to other three loading sub-tanks by means of three sluice gates, that can be completely opened (during the experiments), closed (for maintenance and cleaning) or partially closed (to regulate the flume flows). Each sub-tank feeds two channels, for a total of six flumes. Each flume is 25m long, 0.30m wide, 0.30m high and rectilinear. Each channel is made of a series of sub-channel units, connected together by screws. Some of these units have a widening (0.90m width) in the longitudinal direction which can be put in communication (by two sluice gates) with the main channel 0.3 m wide. In this way, these units can be used to simulate a pool habitat. Each flume bed is filled with natural substrate (i.e. boulders, cobbles and gravel) in a proportion which simulates the natural conditions characterizing the Po river in this stretch. Each couple of channels drain into a terminal tank. In total, three terminal tanks are connected together and convey water into a unique concrete shaft, connected to a pipeline that returns water to the river. If necessary, in two flumes  water can re-circulate by means of a pump which returns water into the upstream  sub-tank. Thus, these two channels can act as a closed-system.  -"," -Flow velocity -water levels and amount can be regulated just acting directly on the facility structure. -Other environmental or chemical parameters can be changed depending on the experiment (temperature, suspended solid sediment amount, light, nutrients or pollutants) +Flow velocity and water levels and amount can be regulated just acting directly on the facility structure. +Other environmental or chemical parameters can be changed depending on the experiment (temperature, suspended solid sediment amount, light, nutrients or pollutants)","flow velocity +water level +temperature +suspended solid sediment +light +nutrients +pollutants -"," +","Manipulative experiments will be carried out in order to analyze changes in benthic communities (i.e. diatoms and macroinvertebrate), induced by environmental and/or chemical impacts.

Each tank has a fillable height of 1.2 m and an inner diameter of 0.8 m, resulting in a volume of 600 L. The 2-walled tanks with pillow-plate technology allow temperature control independently in three vertical strata by circulating heating or cooling medium between the two walls. Temperature is measured using PT100 sensors mounted on the rotating paddle at three different depths. Each temperature zone can be adjusted between 5 and 35 °C. +During the experiments, rotating paddles with regulated speed can be used to avoid wall growth and for mixing the water in the Planktotrons in regular intervals with defined speed. The paddle itself can easily be disconnected and modified or shortened for other experimental setups. Sampling can be conducted from the top or at six different depths by connecting a sampling lance to one of the sampling ports. Additional ports allow connecting Planktotrons among each other, which enables meta-community approaches or the usage of automated water-pumping on-line sensor instrumentation.
