Area of Interest
Investigating the influence of UV-B LEDs and solar radiation on leaf temperature and
water leaf potential of different species under different PAR backgrounds in controlled
environment as well as under spectral modifying filters in the field.The aim of this
project is to investigate the underlying mechanism responsible for leaf temperature
change in relation to UV exposure and the impact of exploiting this phenomenon for
more sustainable horticulture systems.
