10、inese-style solar greenhouses(CSGs)are eastwest-oriented and constructed witha transparent south roof,opaque and insu-lated north wall,and north roof and side-walls;these are passive solar greenhouseswithout auxiliary heating(Tong et al.,2013).Therefore,solar radiation conditionsinside CSGs comprise

11、 the most importantdetermining factors of the creation of thegreenhouse microclimate,which further in-fluences the growth and yield of greenhouse-grown crops.Generally,solar radiation inside a CSG isnot evenly distributed due to its unique struc-ture and the shading of the crop canopy(Zhang et al.,2

12、020).The upper canopyintercepts more direct light,and leaves inthe lower canopy receive limited incident lightas a result of canopy shading.Some of theupper leaves exposed to direct light mayeven experience excess light,eventuallyleading to photoinhibition,whereas theleaves beneath the greenhouse fr

13、ameworksand upper canopy could suffer from a lightenergy deficit,which causes a dramaticdecrease in the photosynthetic rate(Trouwborstet al.,2010).Optimization of the greenhouse cover-ing material provides a practical optionfor improving greenhouse meteorology,in-cluding light and thermal characteri

14、stics(Al-Mahdouri et al.,2013;Baeza et al.,2020;Lamnatou and Chemisana,2013a),thereby achieving improvements in cropgrowthandquality(Hemmingetal.,2008b).Diffuse light covering material wasrecently introduced mainly for conventionalglass greenhouses(Hemming et al.,2008b;Li et al.,2016).Compared with

15、regulargreenhouse cover,light-diffusing cover scat-ters a certain fraction of the transmitted directlight into diffuse light,thus potentially im-proving the uniformityofspatial and temporallight distributions and increasing the radiationefficiency of the crops(Hemming et al.,2008a;Li and Yang,2015).

16、In the verticaldirection of the canopy,diffuse light couldpenetrate deeper inside the canopy,therebyreducing the extinction coefficient and shad-ing of the upper canopy(Lamnatou andChemisana,2013b).In the horizontal canopy,diffuselightalsoimprovesthehomogeneityoflight distribution by reducing the sh

17、adow ofthe greenhouse framework and local peaks inlight intensity(Li and Yang,2015).Many previous researchers have investi-gated the impact of diffuse light on plantgrowth and physiology.It is considered thatplants could use diffuse light more efficientlythan direct light,such as apple trees(Laksoan

18、d Musselman,1976),spruce(Urban et al.,2012),and grass(Sheehy and Chapas,1976).Such studies of diffuse light have beenperformed by comparing plant responses onclear days and cloudy days in natural condi-tions(Gu et al.,2002,2003;Urban et al.,2007).Applying diffuse light in the green-house decreased t

19、he leaf temperature of to-mato and resulted in a higher leaf area indexand lower specific leaf area,which helpregulate photosynthetic activities(Li et al.,2014a)and further benefit the yield at harvest(Adams et al.,2000).In recent years,our research group hasconducted a series of investigations of t

20、heeffects of light diffuse plastic films on CSGmicroclimates and crop growth.The resultsshowed that diffuse light improved the seed-ling index and accumulation of chlorophylland increased the total leaf area of tomato,cucumber,and pepper as well as the qualityand yield of tomato(Fan et al.,2016;Song

21、et al.,2017;Sun et al.,2016).However,thesestudies have focused on the effects of diffuselight plastic films on plant growth and yield,but not environmental factors such as lightand temperature distributions.The main objective of the present studywastoprovidemorecomprehensivetheoreticalReceived for p
