Low Pressure Greenhouse Concepts for Mars: Atmospheric Composition

Greenhouses in extreme environments: The Arthur Clarke Mars Greenhouse design and operation overview

“…Another fruitful area of research concerns the study of the effect of the space environment on plant morphology and physiology, especially the reduced pressure conditions that will be predominant in early Mars greenhouse settings (Andre and Massimino, 1992;Goto et al, 1995;Rygalov et al, 2002;Dixon et al, 2005). It is important that we understand the behaviour of plants growing under these unique conditions to ensure a reliable and responsive life support system.…”
