mesocosms

In order to examine silver nanoparticles 'ecosystemic impact the researchers prepared series of outdoor "mesocosms" - intermediate-sized "fields" of plants growing in rubber tubs.

In Trinidad, Thomas, Reznick and their colleagues culled guppies from two communities and quantified their impact on a stream ecosystem by placing them in a controlled stream environment, near the natural channel, that they create by diverting spring water through artificial mesocosms, systems larger than a microcosm but smaller than a macrocosm, which then return the water to the natural stream.

For their experiment, the team of UK and Spanish researchers used 20 mesocosms, which are containers that allow scientists to study freshwater ecosystems in a controlled environment.

The approach we propose to studying this system is by a mixture of field work using floating and fixed mesocosms in which the pH is adjusted to mimic future conditions and in vitro studies using pH-altered natural seawaters and cultures of specific organisms.

Research opportunities are likely to focus on the effects of water flow, habitat structure and nutrients on algal communities using novel in-stream mesocosms, the role of benthic algae in nutrient cycling, links between algal and microbial ecology, food web and ecosystem structure and function.

It was here that HT began his first explorations into concepts of Ecological Engineering, building large mesocosms at UNC’s Marine Lab at Moorehead City.
