✦ Synopsis
An advanced controlled-ventilation , open-top chamber (CVOTC) has been designed which of fers considerable advantages over the current continuously-ventilated open-top chambers (OTC) , used in climate change impact studies on plants . The CVOTC gives a five-fold reduction in carbon dioxide consumption by recirculating the air when ventilation is not required to control temperature . Full ventilation at six air changes per minute limited the chamber temperature to 2 Њ C above ambient during periods of high solar flux . The average temperature excess was
