Abstract A lysimeter is a device to collect drainage water for mass and solute balances and fills the gap between laboratory and field-scale studies. There is a tendency in the international literature that this measuring technique is increasingly used to investigate the effects of climate change on land and water resources. These studies include simple nonweighable lysimeters as well as highly sophisticated weighable lysimeters. The objective of the paper is to demonstrate different lysimeter types and how they can be used to investigate the effects of climate change. On the basis of case studies, the determination of soil water balance parameters such as precipitation, actual evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and the leaching behavior of the environmental relevant nutrient phosphorus will be explained and evaluated regarding sustainable soil management strategies under the conditions of climate change.
