CIM-UVigo mesocosms facilities: a realitstic experimental approach for grand challenges in oceanography

Marine mesocosms, the closest experimental approach to the marine ecosystems, are a powerful tool to study ecosystems functioning, to address those problems derived from global change and to test mitigation strategies. During the last years the CIM-UVIGO has worked to create a highly automated mesoc...

Sumario:Marine mesocosms, the closest experimental approach to the marine ecosystems, are a powerful tool to study ecosystems functioning, to address those problems derived from global change and to test mitigation strategies. During the last years the CIM-UVIGO has worked to create a highly automated mesocosm facility able to address a wide range of studies, from benthos to pelagic communities, simulating different environmental conditions and future scenarios.
