| Abstract |
This SCOR WG 85 report describes various kinds of experimental enclosures for the study of marine ecosystems. The report starts with the recommendations regarding choice of different experimental ecosystems including sections of design and operation. Illustrations are given of approximately 50 different types of experimental ecosystems, including details of application, a contact address and key references regarding the use of each specific ecosystem.The range of experiments covered in the report includes pelagic, soft and hard bottom benthic ecosystems, microcosms (less than 1 m3), mesocosms (1 m3 to 10 m3) and macrocosms (greater than 10 m3). An index and table of contents is provided for ready reference. |
