The high degree of control within 60+ growth chambers, 4 environmentally controlled greenhouses, and Biocontainment Lab with greenhouse makes it possible to duplicate any climate from tropical rainforests to arid deserts. It is also possible to study plant diseases and insects that need to be contained and prevented from spreading through the Phytotron or into the outside environment.
