that set them apart from each other. Table 1.1 shows the comparison between the two communities. The four factors measured were air temperature‚ soil temperature‚ light intensity‚ and relative humidity. However‚ because of the rainy weather condition‚ both environments had the same 100% relative humidity. Using that parameter to compare them would be inadvisable. The forest interior and the grassland differed in the three other factors. Both air and soil temperatures in the grassland were lower

The next paragraph will explain in more detail about this. Low Humidity The air is generally very dry in Greenland. Because of this low humidity the low temperatures do not feel as cold as you might expect. The only problem is that

The main goal is to build a miniature greenhouse which is equipped with an automatic monitoring system. This monitoring system will constantly monitor the conditions in the greenhouse to ensure that it remains at preset temperature‚ light and humidity conditions. If these conditions differ from the preset levels‚ the monitoring system will automatically turn on certain devices to return the greenhouse to the required conditions. Benefits: Automatically control the growing environment within

Some Ways That The Environment Affects Human Health? Air Pollution Air pollution is one obvious environmental health threat in OECD countries‚ contributing to a number of illnesses‚ such as asthma and in some cases leading to premature death. Of particular concern is the fact that children are more vulnerable to air pollution than adults‚ and increased rates of infant mortality have been recorded in highly polluted areas. Concerns about the impact of air pollution on health and the economy

If the temperature drops and the dew point holds steady the relative humidity will go up. When air is cooled down it can’t hold much water‚ which saturates the air increase the relative humidity. 3.

Climates and Oceans- 1. With coastal climates‚ the locations are on the windward side‚ meaning the weather patterns move from the ocean to land‚ giving them mild summers and cool winters. This means that there isn’t a very large temperature range for coastal climates. Inland climates are more of the land heating and cooling‚ because they heat to high temperatures in the day and then cool a great amount at night. Also‚ the weather patterns are moving from land to water‚ creating warmer summers and

At harvest‚ bulbs must be firm‚ with mature necks and scales‚ and must be a good size. Defective onions (i.e. sprouted‚ insect damaged‚ sunscalded‚ green‚ bruised) should be discarded.For optimum storage quality‚ onions must be cured soon after harvest by placing them in a drying room at 20-30°C and 70% relative humidity for 12 to 24 h.

The first data set included climatic elements such as rainfall‚ temperature‚ the percent of relative humidity and the percent of calm wind‚ as well as its mean speed for a period of 54 years (1953-2006).
