Testing location Erfurt / Germany
climate data (10 years average)
- temperature 10 °C
- precipitation 495,1 mm
36 test sites on the property of the Fachhochschule Erfurt
12 giant lysimeter
2 recycling materials
1 natural gravel as reference
Materials are provided by project partner Kalkwerk Herbsleben
Investigations
At 12 test giant lysimeters have been installed. The amount of seepage water is quantified exactly. Together with the data gained by the modern climate station of the Fachhochschule Erfurt a detailed water balance and microclimatic impact of gravel turf is elaborated.
