The Effect of Diffuse Light on Crops [PDF]
Light is not evenly distributed in Dutch glass greenhouses, but this can be improved with diffuse light. Modern greenhouse coverings are able to transform most of the light entering the greenhouse into diffuse light. Wageningen UR Greenhouse Horticulture

Environmental control of greenhouse and plastic cover. II
1. Climatic factors were measured in large gutter-connected greenhouses which are equipped with the cooling system as pad-and fan in Kusatsu City of Shiga Prefecture.2. The greenhouses measured were so different from one another in their structures, aeration systems and crops, that the temperature and wind velocity were studied for three to four ...

Design and Testing of a Structural Monitoring System in an Almería-Type Tensioned Structure Greenhouse [PDF]
Greenhouse cultivation has gained a special importance in recent years and become the basis of the economy in south-eastern Spain. The structures used are light and, due to weather events, often collapse completely or partially, which has generated ...

Greenhouse gas emissions and natural capital implications of plastics (including biobased plastics)
The ETC/WMGE report, focusing on the greenhouse gas emissions released throughout the lifecycle of plastics (including biobased plastics), from extraction over production and conversion until end-of-life. In view of the rising plastics consumption and production trends, a systematic and integrated perspective on plastics and its carbon cycle is ...
