We build ultra-large rhizoboxes, also known as rhizotrons, for woody plant studies, as mesocosms for holding species assemblages, and for educational displays. The Rhizotrons are fully customizable and consist of aluminum panels (anodized) for the back and side, aluminum profiles on the front edges, and transparent acrylic front panels (mounted straight or angled). The bottom can be constructed open ("no bottom") or perforated (for drainage). Shading panels are optional. Please contact us to discuss your custom Rhizotron installation. Size limitations are imposed by the availability of acrylic front panels and/or larger dimensions can be achieved by using partitions.
