Natural Ventilation Strategies to Improve Crop-Zone Thermal Performance and Reduce Cooling Demand in Multi-Span Plastic Greenhouses Under Hot, High-Solar-Radiation, Arid Conditions
High summer temperatures, intense solar radiation, and restricted ventilation in arid desert regions often cause heat accumulation and spatially non-uniform temperature distributions in greenhouses, constraining sustainable protected agriculture. This study investigated a multi-span plastic greenhouse in Xinjiang, Chin...
