The Ready-To-Go Lysimeter is a small lysimeter station for soil columns with a surface area up to 0.5 cm² and a length of up to 1 m. Mini-Lysimeters are a widespread method to directly determine the actual evapotranspiration. For sites with a root depth smaller than the depth of the lysimeter vessel the latent heat flux can be measured with high accuracy (also for heterogeneous landscapes) [Grimmond et al., 1992, Parisi et al., 2009]. The Ready-To-Go Lysimeter is suitable for both disturbed (filled by hand)

An EcoUnit is a measurement system to investigate ecosystem functions in the soil-plant-atmosphere system under defined boundary conditions. EcoUnits were developed for the iDiv-Ecotron research station by UGT GmbH and emc GmbH in collaboration with scientists and technicians of the German Center for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle Jena-Leipzig and the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research-UFZ. Ecotrons are used to investigate processes within the soil-plantatmosphere system as well as
