Straw Albedo Mitigates Extreme Heat

Hay fields. Fields that are not tilled after crop harvesting reflect a greater amount of solar radiation than tilled fields. This phenomenon can reduce temperatures in heat waves by as much as 2°C, as researchers have demonstrated in a recent study. (Credit: © Kokhanchikov / Fotolia) Click to enlarge.
