Benefit from Biomass Boiler Emissions to Increase Greenhouse CO2 Levels for Optimal Growth and Yield in Tomato, Cucumber, and Strawberry

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Using CO2‐rich polluting gases in greenhouse plant cultivation has proven to be a promising technique for stimulating plants while reducing emissions to the atmosphere. The use of an experimental biofilter proves to be effective in retaining most of the toxic particles. The alteration of physiological and metabolic parameters shows an adaptation of the

Irrigation and hydropower

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1976
The pairing of irrigation and h y d r o p o w e r in a discussion of progress in the hydrospheric sciences may seem an incongruity. In many ways the use o f water for irrigation or for the generation of electric power is in conflict, the first requiring seasonal use only and the latter a steady supply year around with only daily fluctuations to meet ...
