A Daylight Climate Chamber for Testing Greenhouse Climate Control Strategies and Calculating Canopy Carbon Dioxide Exchange

Micro Climate Control in Greenhouse

During last two decades in India, the productivity and efficiency of horticultural production have received particular attention and key concept has been to accelerate plant growth to achieve maximum production. Protected cultivation makes it possible to obtain increased crop productivity maintaining a favourable environment for the plants. Therefore, production in greenhouses has become more p...

Soft computing for greenhouse climate control

The methodology proposed in the paper applies artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to the modeling and control of some climate variables within a greenhouse. The nonlinear physical phenomena governing the dynamics of temperature and humidity in such systems are, in fact, difficult to model and control using traditional techniques. The paper proposes a framework for the development of soft co...

Carbon Dioxide Fertilisation and Climate Change Policy

Climate change and carbon dioxide: an introduction.

Since the dawn of history, human beings have had the ability, superior to all other living beings, to exploit the Earth’s environment to their own immediate advantage. For most of human history the consequences were only of local or regional significance. Over the past century, however, the rapid rise in population and the increasing intensity and scale of human enterprises have made it possibl...

Cosmic Rays , Carbon Dioxide , and Climate

Submarine volcanic eruptions recently located in the Pacific by Sofar hydrophones, of study of sulfur-rich hydrothermal activity from an island-arc environment: Esmeralda Bank in the Mariana Arc, Mar. Several recent papers have applied correlation analysis to climate-related time series in the hope of finding evidence for causal relationships. For a critical discussion of correlations between s...
