Curtis Stone, in The Urban Farmer... distinguishes between Quick Crops(maturing in 60 days or less) and Steady Crops(slower maturing, perhaps harvested continuously over a period of time)... he has designed a crop value rating system based on five characteristics : Shorter days to maturity(fast crops=chance to plant more; give a point for 60 days or less) ;High yield per linear foot(best value from the space; a point for 1/2 pound/linear foot or more) ;Higher price per pound(other factors being equal, higher price=more income; a point for $4 or more per pound) ;Long harvest period(=more sales; a point for 4 months or longer) ;Popularity(high demand, low market saturation). 2, record 1, English, - crop%20value

Carbon Preference Index(CPI). Generally the ratio of abundance of odd over even carbon number paraffins, specifically calculated over the C24-C34 range. Hydrocarbons derived predominantly from terrestrial sources and/or at low maturity exhibit a predominance of odd-numbered alkanes(resulting in a high CPI) ;this feature disappears with increasing maturation level(CPI approaches 1. 0). 5, record 6, English, - carbon%20preference%20index

With increasing maturity, and odd-even preference(also known as CPI : carbon preference index) of about 5 : 1 in shallow detrital material is reduced to around unity in the zone of oil formation, as a result of thermal degradation and the introduction of new alkanes, which dilutes the original odd-even predominance. 3, record 6, English, - carbon%20preference%20index

Temporal dynamics or the temporal continuity of ecosystems... In forest management, a tree can be considered to go through four main development stages : a) A period of youth from seedling to low pole, characterized by strong individual sensitivity to intra and interspecific competition... b) An adult stage of development from high pole to young forest. Each tree has asserted itself in its respective strata, i. e., ensuring a vital space for energy(light, mineral salts) and water. In primary forest, competition obviously still takes place, particularly when climatic conditions prove difficult, bringing about a difference in vigour between individuals of the same species(thus in relative diameter). c) A period of maturity... d) A period of senescence... 2, record 7, English, - high%20pole
