Abstract

We are concerned with radiation and the microclimate above the soil because they have such large influences on:

  1. 1)

    Evaporation of water from soil.

  2. 2)

    Transpiration of water from plants.

  3. 3)

    Soil and air temperature.

  4. 4)

    Plant growth (plant growth is closely related to transpiration and to soil and air temperatures).
