Infrastructure

Ten micro lysimeters, built by JR-AquaConSol GmbH, Graz, Austria, with soil monoliths, continuous weighing, soil moisture measurement at three depths with tensiometers and water content sensors, and suction cups to simulate capillary rise.

The following video shows how the micro lysimeter facility was created (german):
