Analysis of Settlement Space Environment along China’s Grand Canal Tianjin Section Based on Structural Equation Model—Case Study of 44 Typical Settlements

The settlement space along China’s Grand Canal is an important part of cultural heritage, boasting high value of conservation and inheritance as a museum of local culture in an active state. The paper is aimed at revealing the current situation and satisfaction with the settlement space environment along China’s Grand Canal Tianjin Section...

Parameterization and Application of Stanghellini Model for Estimating Greenhouse Cucumber Transpiration

Accurate estimation of transpiration (Tr) is important in the development of precise irrigation scheduling and to enhance water-use efficiency in agricultural production. In this study, the air temperature (Ta) and relative humidity (RH) were measured at three different heights (0.5, 1.0, and 1.8 m above the ground near the plant canopy)...

Parametrization of aerodynamic and canopy resistances for modeling evapotranspiration of greenhouse cucumber

Estimating the latent heat flux accurately is important to improve greenhouse crops irrigation schedules. Aerodynamic and canopy resistances, as two key parameters in the Bulk transfer equations, are already difficult to measure in the open field and even more in greenhouses. In this study, an experiment was conducted in a Venlo-type cucumber...
