1、 ANSI/ASAE EP411.5 DEC2012 (R2016) Guidelines for Measuring and Reporting Environmental Parameters for Plant Experiments in Growth Chambers American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers ASABE is a professional and technical organization, of members worldwide, who are dedicated to advance

2、ment of engineering applicable to agricultural, food, and biological systems. ASABE Standards are consensus documents developed and adopted by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers to meet standardization needs within the scope of the Society; principally agricultural field e

3、quipment, farmstead equipment, structures, soil and water resource management, turf and landscape equipment, forest engineering, food and process engineering, electric power applications, plant and animal environment, and waste management. NOTE: ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data are i

4、nformational and advisory only. Their use by anyone engaged in industry or trade is entirely voluntary. The ASABE assumes no responsibility for results attributable to the application of ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data. Conformity does not ensure compliance with applicable ordinance

5、s, laws and regulations. Prospective users are responsible for protecting themselves against liability for infringement of patents. ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data initially approved prior to the society name change in July of 2005 are designated as “ASAE“, regardless of the revisio

6、n approval date. Newly developed Standards, Engineering Practices and Data approved after July of 2005 are designated as “ASABE“. Standards designated as “ANSI“ are American National Standards as are all ISO adoptions published by ASABE. Adoption as an American National Standard requires verificatio

7、n by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by ASABE. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial

8、agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. CAUTION NOTICE: ASABE and ANSI standards may be revised or withdrawn at any time. Additionally

9、, procedures of ASABE require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw each standard. Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers.

13、 revision approved by ANSI December 2012; reaffirmed by ASABE and ANSI December 2016. Keywords: Definitions, Environment, Experiments, Growth, Plant 1 Purpose and Scope 1.1 The purpose of this Engineering Practice is to set forth guidelines for the measurement of environmental parameters that charac

14、terize the aerial and root environment in a plant growth chamber. 1.2 This Engineering Practice establishes criteria that will promote a common basis for environmental measurements for the research community and the commercial plant producer. 1.3 This Engineering Practice promotes uniformity and acc

15、uracy in reporting data and results in the course of conducting plant experiments. 2 Introduction 2.1 The aerial environment is characterized by the following parameters: air temperature, atmospheric composition including moisture and carbon dioxide concentration, air velocity, radiation, and the ed

16、ge effects of wall/floor on these parameters. 2.2 The root environment is characterized by the following parameters: medium composition and quantity, nutrient concentrations, water content, temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, and oxygen concentration. 2.3 Measuring and reporting these various

17、parameters will be covered in the sections that follow. The definitions of the parameters indicate the symbol and units in the format, (symbol, units). Measurements should be made which accurately represent the mean and range of the environmental parameters to which the plants are exposed during the

18、 experimental period, to indicate the temporal variations, both cyclic and transient, and the spatial variations over the separate plants in the chamber. 2.4 The definitions, measurement techniques, and reporting procedures provide criteria and promote uniformity in measuring and reporting environme

19、ntal parameters, but these guidelines should not be used to select the environmental parameters applicable to a particular experiment. Other parameters may be applicable to a particular experiment or special environments such as elemental concentration in hydroponic solutions, pollutant concentratio

20、n in air quality research, and spectral quality ratios in photobiology. 2.5 When measurements are made, the chamber should be operating with containers and plants located in the chamber. Provision should be made to take all measurements with minimum disturbance to the operating environment. ANSI/ASA
