Facilities

A key player on addressing the ecological sustainability challenge for Europe

At the core are the distributed facilities that can impose multiple global change drivers to quantify the role of each of these drivers of change and to identify their interactions.


Our network of experimental facilities span national borders and cover all European ecosystems and includes analytical services for complex measurements, as well as modelling platforms.

Direct or funded acces

Get quick access to our facilities with Direct Access, or dive into a longer-term collaboration through Project Access. Either way, AnaEE-ERIC makes it easy to use our labs, platforms, and expertise for your research.

Explore our catalogue of services – ISIA – which gives easy overview of technical details, easily searchable by keyword or scientific domain and contact details to the facility.

Open Air Facilities

The open-air facilities enable long-term experiments under realistic conditions to study gradual ecosystem processes. They are unique in their ability to manipulate multiple global change drivers in diverse ecosystems while using advanced tools They provide critical insights into ecosystem function, resilience, and long-term environmental change.

Enclosed Facilities

Enclosed facilities complement open-air facilities by enabling precise environmental control and advanced measurements. They support diverse experimental approaches—from controlled exposure and detailed ecosystem analysis to integrated, data-driven and self-steering experiments—making them essential for adaptive and in-depth ecological research.

Modelling Facilities

Our advanced modeling facilities with state-of-the-art tools simulate and analyse complex environmental systems, supporting research on climate change and shifting dynamics in agriculture, forestry, and ecosystems. These tools enable efficient forecasting, data validation, and informed decision-making, helping researchers improve analyses, design better experiments, and predict ecosystem responses to global change.

AnaEE-ERIC offers its network of research services through direct calls and Horizon Europe.

The winter studies using BoFoReg’s freezing chambers reveal vulnerability in boreal species. While warm winter spells caused deacclimation in seedlings, only spruce demonstrated reacclimation ability—a capacity that diminishes toward spring.

    In our glass domes, precise environmental scenarios test how forests respond to drought stress and nitrogen deposition. A critical finding shows that elevated CO2 benefits diminish over time as plants compete for light, nutrients, and water.

      Forests emit biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), like isoprene and monoterpenes into the atmosphere. The BVOC also prolongs the life-time of methane, and their degradation in the atmosphere leads to CO₂ formation.

          We can create July month in January in The Terra Ecotron. By controlling light and temperature we can make any experiment at any moment, independently of the weather conditions outside, and materialise future climate condition, based on models.

            AnaEE Bulgaria has long experience of doing research on soil health. Areas with Alluvial-Meadow soil type are identified as high risk due to their soil properties, shallow groundwater and cultivation of crops with intensive fertilization and irrigation.
