“CLIMECS allows you to easily control realistic climatic scenario’s in ecological experiments“
– Oscar Franken –
What is climecs
Why Choose Climecs
The use of CLIMECS can greatly benefit research groups in universities, institutes and companies because:
- it is possible to perform more realistic experiments with multiple stressors,
- the range of conditions that can be achieved allows to implement extreme climatic events,
- due to automation, the experiments are easier and more efficient to perform,
- interacting climatic variables can be disentangled
- the used methods will be more standardized, facilitating comparisons between studies and facilitating potential collaborations between labs with the same experimental setup.
Let’s start to anticipate on the predicted effects of climatic change, by using CLIMECS!
