About This Product
The workstation lets a class change one abiotic factor at a time, such as light, moisture, soil temperature or acidity, and watch the effect on plant growth, micro-fauna and decomposition. Closed-loop set-ups follow carbon dioxide fixed in photosynthesis and released in respiration, while further modules model the nitrogen and water cycles. The food web block shows how energy passes from producers to consumers and decomposers. The Environment of life can be supplied on export terms to Bangladesh, Iceland, Brunei, São Tomé and Príncipe and Eswatini.
