High temperatures cause thermal stress, impair plant physiology, and reduce crop yield. In a recent publication in Nexus, Wang et al. describe a radiative cooling mulch for soil cooling. This technique increases crop yield in hot climates by alleviating thermal stress on plant roots and reducing soil evaporation, facilitating sustainable agriculture in regions prone to thermal stress.

用于可持续农业的冷光子学

高温会导致热应激，损害植物生理机能，并降低作物产量。在 Nexus 最近发表的一篇文章中，Wang 等人。描述用于土壤冷却的辐射冷却覆盖物。该技术通过减轻植物根部的热应激和减少土壤蒸发来提高炎热气候下的作物产量，从而促进易受热应激地区的可持续农业。
