Journal ArticleDOI
Inherent limitations of nondestructive chlorophyll meters: a comparison of two types of meters.
Oscar Monje,Bruce Bugbee +1 more
TL;DR: Although the dual-wavelength meter was slightly more accurate than the single-wa wavelength meter (higher r2), the light-scattering properties of leaf cells and the nonhomogeneous distribution of chlorophyll in leaves appear to limit the ability of all meters to estimate in vivo chlorophylla concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Struvite formation and decomposition characteristics for ammonia and phosphorus recovery: A review of magnesium-ammonia-phosphate interactions
TL;DR: Characteristics of NH4+ or divalent cations for Mg2+ were evaluated in comparison to monovalent and divalent ions for formation of struvite and its analogues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Farming in space: environmental and biophysical concerns
TL;DR: Future space farmers will have to adapt their practices to accommodate microgravity, high and low extremes in ambient temperatures, reduced atmospheric pressures, atmospheres containing high volatile organic carbon contents, and elevated to super-elevated CO2 concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptation to high CO2 concentration in an optimal environment: radiation capture, canopy quantum yield and carbon use efficiency
Oscar Monje,Bruce Bugbee +1 more
TL;DR: Elevated [CO2] increases sink strength in optimal environments, resulting in sustained increases in photosynthetic capacity, canopy quantum yield and daily C gain throughout the life cycle, indicating that plant communities adapt to CO2 enrichment through changes in C allocation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microgravity effects on leaf morphology, cell structure, carbon metabolism and mRNA expression of dwarf wheat
TL;DR: No differences were observed in the starch, soluble sugar, or lignin content of the leaves grown in μg or 1 g conditions, suggesting that the spaceflight environment had minimal impact on wheat metabolism.
