The main principle of low tunnels is:

  • A.protecting from insects
  • B.maintaining \(\mathrm{CO_{2}}\) concentration
  • C.maintaining relative humidity
  • D.maintaining \(\mathrm{O_{2}}\) concentration

Answer: B

The key gives maintaining the carbon dioxide concentration. Low tunnels are small plastic covers over a crop row, and one source I found says they trap CO2 within the covered space and so help photosynthesis. Another measurement-based source found that CO2 in a closed tunnel falls during the day, so this is not a firmly established effect; I could not find a source that settles it.

Protecting from insects, holding humidity and the oxygen concentration are not the main principle given by the key, and oxygen is not a limiting factor for plants in the way carbon dioxide can be.
