Method and apparatus for extracting carbon dioxide from air
A method and apparatus for extracting CO2 from air comprising an anion exchange material formed in a matrix exposed to a flow of the air, and for delivering that extracted CO2 to controlled environments. The present invention contemplates the extraction of CO2 from air using conventional extraction methods or by using one of the extraction methods disclosed; e.g., humidity swing or electro dialysis. The present invention also provides delivery of the CO2 to greenhouses where increased levels of CO2 will improve conditions for growth. Alternatively, the CO2 is fed to an algae culture.

Light-weight modular adjustable vertical hydroponic growing system and method
A light-weight, modular, adjustable vertical hydroponic growing system and method of Native American design for cultivation plants and beneficial soil organisms (BSO's) in symbiotic combination. Forest-like arrays of fully rotatable and demountable grow tubes are suspended within climate-moderating greenhouses, optionally from conveyor tracks. The tubes are filled with light-weight, porous 100% in-organic grow media predominately comprised of expanded volcanic or recycled glass granules. The grow tube arrays are provided with an insulated, overhead-mounted fertigation distribution system delivering metered intermittent flows from insulated mixing and holding tanks. The flows are recycled via an insulated return piping system to maintain cool fertigation temperatures near those of natural ground water. Fertigation supply mains provided with vortex flow induction devices impart rotational momentum to flows for delivery of uniform aerated fertigation to plants and BSO's via a combination of open-tube emitters and gravity flows within grow tubes.

Revegetation system on steep rocky slopes and implementing method thereof
The invention discloses a revegetation system on steep rocky slopes and an implementing method thereof, which are suitable for surface vegetalization of steep rocky uncover slopes with the gradient of 60 degrees above. A slope drainage system is arranged in the system to prevent the vegetalization layer from being flushed by rainwater and reduce water loss and soil erosion; a mix-sprayed vegetalization layer plastic-covered with iron wire corrugated meshes and consisting of continuous fiber is arranged on the slopes and has stable structure, rich nutrition and functions of water conservation and ventilation. The casting separator prevents the mix-sprayed vegetalization layer from sliding downwards; and a drop irrigation facility is distributed to make sure that the vegetalization layer is moist. After maintenance of mix-sprayed construction on the slopes, the vegetable layer with herbaceous plants and shrubs can be effectively formed, thereby reconstructing the destructed vegetables on the slopes and recovering the natural landscapes on the uncover slopes.

A vertically-integrated greenhouse for growing plants in suspended trays. The design is particularly well-suited for installation in a double-skin façade of a building, or in an interior atrium, lobby, or similar structure. In addition to producing food, plants can reduce building maintenance costs by providing shade, air treatment, and evaporative cooling to building occupants. The vertically-integrated greenhouse involves the use of a dynamic movable array of plant trays as a mechanical shading device. The spacings and arrangements of the trays in the tray suspension system can be adjusted on both a diurnal basis and a seasonal basis to maximize plant light capture and building shading, thereby maximizing crop yield and building energy savings, or for esthetic considerations.

Zone tillage tool and method
A zone tillage tool comprises a tool frame connected by a parallel lift linkage to a tool bar. A fall tillage coulter or dual spring tillage coulters can be carried on the tool frame in advance of a pair of containment coulters.

The fall tillage coulter includes a plurality of shovel bits located around the circumference thereof at a forward rake angle. The tip of each shovel bit has a generally vertical entry position into the ground due to the forward rake angle. As the fall tillage coulter rotates, the shovel bits rotate around and exit the soil in a generally horizontal position, thereby lifting and loosening the soil without compacting the soil through a series of rearwardly and upwardly directed soil scooping actions.
