Dear OIKOS members,
The Swedish Infrastructure for Ecosystem Science (SITES) invites application to use the SITES AquaNET infrastructure to conduct mesocosm experiments in lakes.
The infrastructure is located at four SITES stations (Svartberget, Erken, Skogaryd and Asa) and an associated station (Bolmen research station, operated by Sweden Water Research/Sydvatten) and therefore enables experimental manipulations in lakes along a latitudinal gradient in Sweden. We offer open access to the mesocosm infrastructure in one or more lakes and support from qualified personnel.
Each site has a jetfloat deployed in its local lake with 16-20 polyethylen cylindrical enclosures, but experimental manipulations can also be done in assembled polyethylen film enclosures with different shapes and dimensions, and the jetfloat can be re-structured to fit various experimental needs. The experimental facilities have a sensor and datalogging system to measure real-time environmental parameters, such as DO, temperature, photosynthetic active radiation, chlorophyll, phycocyanin and turbidity in each mesocosm. In addition, all stations can provide access to lab and sample storage facilities, and field equipment.
More detailed information can be found here and applications for using the infrastructure during 2019 can be made by filling in the this form.
We are looking forward to your applications!
