This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices related to the study of ecological processes. In one aspect, a device includes a base, a substrate, and an enclosure. The substrate is in contact with a first surface of the base. The substrate and the base define a root chamber. The enclosure is in contact with a second surface of the base. The base and the enclosure define a growth chamber. The base defines a stem port connecting the root chamber and the growth chamber. The base further defines a first port in fluid communication with the root chamber and a second port in fluid communication with the root chamber. The device is operable to contain a plant, roots of the plant being in the root chamber, a stem of the plant passing through the stem port, and leaves of the plant being in the growth chamber.

According to at least one embodiment, a growing medium and method of making said growing medium is shown and described. This medium may include at least a first and second component such that at least one of the first or second component is coconut coir and the other of the at least first or second component is a wood fiber. In one embodiment, the at least first and second component are combined and then compressed via heat and pressure resulting in a finished medium for an end user.

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of ecological environmental protection, resource development and utilization and new materials, and particularly relates to a method and device for rapidly forming artificial clay and artificial organic ecological mud. The method comprises the following steps: raw material and water storage preparation; preparing nutrient aqueous solution; preparing mineral muddy water; preparing flocculent mineral solution; and reacting and dehydrating to form artificial clay or artificial organic ecological mud. The device comprises a grinding mill, a feeding system, a silo, a belt conveyor, an agitator, a dehydration system and a reservoir. In accordance with the present disclosure, the formation period of natural clay is greatly shortened by artificial means, making the clay become a renewable resource.
