Overall Energy Analysis of (Semi) Closed Greenhouses [PDF]
, 2008 Natural ventilation to discharge excess heat and vapour from the greenhouse environment has serious drawbacks. Pests and diseases find their way through the openings; carbon dioxide fertilisation becomes inefficient and the inescapable coupling of heat ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Humans have used fire to manage landscapes for millennia, but this use of fire is declining in many ecosystems. Understanding how plants respond to these changes is key to predicting ecosystem resilience and impacts on services such as biodiversity and carbon sequestration. However, many ecosystems lack data on plant fire responses.
