Abstract: "The positive and negative effects on plant growth of environmental conditions in the Ark solar greenhouse have been monitored. The lower light levels, wide temperature fluctuations, low winter temperatures, high relative humidity and possibly low COz levels compared to conventional greenhouses have been problems that have been solved to varying degrees. Plant variety selection, revised bench design and the addition of a heat exchanger are used together to provide optimum conditions within the solar design."
