  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

Actual notice has been defined as notice expressly and actually given, and brought home to the party directly. The term "actual notice", however, is generally given a wider meaning as embracing two classes, express and implied; the former includes all knowledge of a degree above that which depends upon collateral inference, or which imposes upon the party the further duty of inquiry; the latter imputes knowledge to the party because he is shown to be conscious of having the means of knowledge. In this sense actual notice is such notice as is positively proved to have been given to a party directly and personally, or such as he is presumed to have received personally because the evidence within his knowledge was sufficient to put him upon inquiry.(Black, 6th ed., 1990, pp. 1061-1062).

  • Ecology (General)
  • Plant Biology
DEF

The point in a plant succession at which development has continued beyond the balanced state of climax.

CONT

climax : The culminating stage of plant succession for a given environment, the vegetation being conceived as having reached a highly stable condition. NOTE :(1) Some ecologists restrict the term to vegetation of mature sites and soils, which they presume to have a high degree of permanence. Others apply it to vegetation which they conceived to be stable only as long as the environment remains unchanged or to vegetation which changes only in response to changes in climate and/or soil substrate that are slow relative to the rate of plant succession.(2) Clements claimed that, for a given region, there was only one true climax-the stable vegetation of mesic sites, the nature of which determined by climate and hence termed by him the climatic climax; deviations that are stable only through the influences of factors other than climate received special names, e. g. pre-climax(local unfavorable conditions preventing full vegetational complexity), postclimax(local favorable conditions permitting fuller complexity), biotic climax(maintained by biotic factors), edaphic climax(maintained by soil factors).
