Absolute Humidity (AH)

Greenhouse with Glass

Short definition

Absolute Humidity is the actual water vapor content in air, expressed in g/kg or g/m³.

Expanded definition

The absolute humidity (AH) of air is the actual water vapor content in g/kg or g/m³. It can also be expressed as water vapor pressure in kPa.

In Greenhouse Context

Absolute humidity helps determine how much moisture is present in greenhouse air, crucial for climate control and plant health.

Examples and/or use cases

Monitoring AH helps optimize dehumidification and avoid fungal diseases in crops like tomatoes and cucumbers.

Relevance

Precise control of AH is vital for managing plant transpiration, disease prevention, and ventilation strategy.
