The sustainability of irrigated agriculture is threatening due to adverse climate change, given
future projections that every one in four people on Earth might be suffering from extreme …

Protected tree fruit cultivation using sustainable environmently-friendly practices is
considered a promising alternative to meet the challenge of various biotic and abiotic …

Long-term variations in solar radiation at Earth's surface (S) can affect our climate, the
hydrological cycle, plant photosynthesis, and solar power. Sustained decreases in S have …

Terrestrial plant productivity tends to increase under increasing but non-saturating
photosynthetically active solar radiation when water, temperature and nutrients are not …

Shading and insect-proof screens are widely used in agriculture for passive microclimate
control and for insect exclusion. It is an efficient tool for crop production in adverse climatic …

Cloud cover increases the proportion of diffuse radiation reaching the Earth's surface and
affects many microclimatic factors such as temperature, vapour pressure deficit and …

Extreme weather and climate events, such as very high temperatures, wind velocity and hail
incidences that occur due to climate change and global warming, have detrimental effects …

Diffuse radiation generally increases photosynthetic rates if total radiation is kept constant.
Different hypotheses have been proposed to explain this enhancement of photosynthesis …

Agrivoltaics is the dual use of land by combining agricultural crop production and
photovoltaic (PV) systems. In this work, we have analyzed three different agrivoltaic …
