Terrestrial Metatron

Terrestrial Metatron

Introduction

The terrestrial mesocosms available through AnaEE-France are present in a device called Metatron. This platform allows a study of terrestrial ecosystems thanks to a large-scale system allowing the observation of population movements according to the climatic conditions under control in the different compartments.

Indeed, the Metatron includes a set of climate-controlled enclosures designed to study terrestrial metacommunities. These large cages are inhabited by a community of animal and plant species on which certain conditions of temperature, humidity and solar radiation are imposed.
