How does a greenhouse work in the modern agriculture

As we all know, greenhouses can extend the growing season and protect plants from harsh weather conditions in temperate climates. In higher latitudes, greenhouses can increase plant production by optimizing the available light. Even in hot, arid regions, specialized greenhouses have been developed that can help lower temperatures and manage water loss in plants due to transpiration.

For a long time, a solar greenhouse can contribute to reproducing plants out of season, which to some degree, means to give man a measure of control over our nature. Specifically speaking, a solar greenhouse creates a sheltered environment for plants by using solar radiation to trap heat. This system of heating and circulating air helps to create an artificial environment in a greenhouse that can sustain plants when the outdoor temperature is too cool or variable. Heat enters the greenhouse through its covering of glass or plastic and starts to warm the objects, soil and plants inside. The warmed air near the soil begins to rise and is immediately replaced with cooler surrounding air that starts to heat up. This cycle raises the temperature inside the greenhouse more rapidly than the air outside, creating a sheltered, warmer microclimate.

In the modern times, precious glass has begun to be used more and more in greenhouse construction. In most cases, a glass greenhouse can extend a plant’s growing season by a few weeks, or it can create a complete microclimate, which is considered a successful substitute for the plant’s native environment. From its origins as an indulgence for the wealthy and privileged, glass greenhouses are widely used in a variety of applications to help man understand and make use of the natural world. In the recent years, people prefer using the controlled environments in greenhouses to recreate specialized ecosystems in order to understand plants better. For the one thing, greenhouse technology is making it easier to study the potential value of medicinal plants and explore ways to increase plant yields and make plants more disease resistant. For the other thing, controlling the environment inside a greenhouse is easier and more reliable than trying to manipulate all the variables of growing delicate plants outdoors in many areas. In addition, greenhouses are even being used to preserve plant species whose natural habitat is threatened.
