Abstract

This paper describes an improved design of open-topped chamber, based on wind tunnel tests, which reduces wind-generated inflows. The design incorporates a collar on top of the chamber and an inner lip. The conditions within chambers under field conditions approximate to the ambient but still show a detrimental effect on plant growth.
