Agro-ecosystem sensor capability for elevated CO2 free air research facility.

农业生态系统传感器对高二氧化碳空气研究设施的能力：该项目将为澳大利亚谷物无污染空气二氧化碳浓缩(AgFace)设施提供基础设施升级，该设施是全球唯一的低降雨量、非灌溉农业生态系统的Face设施。降雨量少、无灌溉农业系统在全球作物生产中发挥着非常重要的作用，预计将受到气候变化的负面影响。所要求的基础设施将能够对作物水分平衡和水分状况进行直接、地块尺度的测量，包括关键的影响因素，如根生长和结构以及作物冠层温度，并允许操纵实验制定适应方案，以提高作物资源的利用效率。

Agro-ecosystem sensor capability for elevated carbon dioxide-free air research facility: This project will provide infrastructure upgrades to the Australian Grains Free Air Carbon dioxide Enrichment (AGFACE) facility, globally the only FACE facility in low rainfall, non-irrigated agri-ecosystems. Low rainfall, non-irrigated agriculture systems play a very significant role in global crop production and are predicted to be negatively affected by climate changes. The requested infrastructure will enable direct, plot scale measurements of crop water balance and water status, including crucial influence factors such as root growth and architecture and crop canopy temperatures, and allow manipulation experiments to develop adaptation options to improve crop resource use efficiencies.
