Abstract
Studies of photosynthesis and plant productivity may require environmental control. This chapter outlines procedures for environmental control in structures such as growth chambers, glasshouses, and open-top chambers, for study with single plants and with canopies of plants. (See Chapter 9 for an outline of environmental control in leaf chambers.)
