Short-term Cooling of Cucumber Roots Alters Leaf Carbohydrate Metabolism
HortScience, 1989 Abstract The influence of short-term cooling of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. ‘Calypso’) roots on leaf expansion and carbohydrate metabolism was studied. Leaf expansion of greenhouse-grown cucumber plants irrigated twice daily with chilled water (5°C) was reduced by about 15% relative to that of plants irrigated with water at ambient greenhouse air ...

THE EFFECT OF COOLING RATE ON CUCUMBER PLANT RESPONSE TO A DAILY SHORT-TERM TEMPERATURE DROP
Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2016 We studied the effect of cooling rate on responses of cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L.) to a daily short-term (2 hour) temperature reduction (DROP) at the end of the night (dark DROP) or at the beginning of the day (light DROP).

Urban Forests as Main Regulator of the Evaporative Cooling Effect in Cities
AGU Advances, 2021 Higher temperatures in urban areas expose a large fraction of the human population to potentially dangerous heat stress. Green spaces are promoted worldwide as local and city‐scale cooling strategies but the amount, type, and functioning of vegetation in
