Why Solar Radiation Management Geoengineering and Democracy Won't Mix [PDF]

Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 2013
In this paper we argue that recent policy treatments of solar radiation management (SRM) have insufficiently addressed its potential implications for contemporary political systems. Exploring the emerging ‘social constitution’ of SRM, we outline four reasons why this is likely to pose immense challenges to liberal democratic politics: That the unequal

Solar Radiation Flux Provides a Method of Quantifying Weed-Crop Balance in Present and Future Climates

Plants, 2021
A systematic approach to quantifying the weed–crop balance through the flux of solar radiation was developed and tested on commercial fields in a long-established Atlantic zone cropland. Measuring and modelling solar energy flux in crop stands has become

A Prototype Sensor for Estimating Light Interception by Plants in a Greenhouse [PDF]

, 2008
Light interception is one of the most important factors for plant growth. The intercepted amount depends on the incoming radiation in the greenhouse and the percentage of interception by the crop and is directly related to the leaf area.

The characteristics of plant clusters influence on the cooling effect: A case study in a subtropical Island Park, China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Plant clusters planted in urban green spaces have a significant potential to improve the microclimate. To put this potential to the test, eleven plant clusters (20 m × 20 m) in size were selected as sample plots in Haitan Island, China.
