Biologists dig deeper: Canada's new Biotron superlab contains miniature chunks of the natural world that will help us predict the impact of climate change on living organisms.(Frontlines)(Biotron Institute for Experimental Climate Change Research)

A GROUP OF PLANT SCIENTISTS GATHERED IN VIENNA IN 2005 AT THE International Botanical Congress. The meeting was pretty much what you would expect until its conclusion, when the congress declared: "As a matter of urgency, facilities for controlled, ecosystem-scale experiments are required now." Without a better toolbox to study how the natural world responds to global climate change, "sustained human habitability of Earth" would be at risk.

Fortunately, just such a toolbox was already being designed by Norman Huner, a Canadian biochemist and plant biologist. Huner had begun work on his Biotron Institute for Experimental Climate Change Research in ...
