2. Twinwall plastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinwall_plastic

   The warm, stagnant air present within the twinwall cells can present problems. Algae and bacterial growth can be incubated inside these cells, resulting in a decrease in optical clarity, reducing the efficiency of the greenhouse. [8] Cleaning these growths can be difficult because of the inability to use many solvents with polymer-based glazing.

3. Polytunnel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytunnel

   Polytunnels are mainly used in temperate regions in similar ways to glass greenhouses and row covers. Besides the passive solar heating that every polytunnel provides, every variation of auxiliary heating (from hothouse heating through minimal heating to unheated houses) is represented in current practice. The nesting of row covers and low ...

4. Anti-greenhouse effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-greenhouse_effect

   This acts to reduce solar energy reaching the surface and lets infrared energy escape, cooling Titan's surface. Titan has both a greenhouse and an anti-greenhouse effect which compete with one another. The greenhouse effect warms Titan by 21 K while the anti-greenhouse effect cools Titan by 9 K, so the net warming is 12 K (= 21 K - 9 K). [3] [4]

5. Greenhouse - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse

   Greenhouses can range in size from small sheds to industrial-sized buildings and enormous glasshouses. The smallest example is a miniature greenhouse known as a cold frame, typically used at home, whereas large commercial greenhouses are high tech production facilities for vegetables, flowers or fruits. The glass greenhouses are filled with ...

6. Greenhouse effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect

   The greenhouse effect on Earth is defined as: "The infrared radiative effect of all infrared absorbing constituents in the atmosphere.Greenhouse gases (GHGs), clouds, and some aerosols absorb terrestrial radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface and elsewhere in the atmosphere."
