DEF

A tragedy of overgrazing and lack of care which resulted in erosion and falling productivity of the English commons, prior to the enclosure movement when grazing rights became restricted to the few. ... Today, on a larger scale, the natural resources of air and water may be regarded as the "commons" of the world: they are exploited by many who have little or no interest in the future productivity of these resources.

Record 6 2009-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
CONT

Color can dramatically influence the flavor perception of food. Food technologists often use various colored lights in their tasting sessions to mask the color of the foods being taste-paneled so tasters will make their acceptability judgments based on flavor rather than color. One study dramatically illustrates the influence of color on food acceptability ... In this study, panelists were offered a dinner of steak, peas and french fries abnormally colored but served under color-masked conditions. Panelists enjoyed the meals until normal lights were switched on. The appearance of blue steak, red peas and green french fries was so overwhelmingly objectionable to some of the panelists that they became ill.

  • Silviculture
CONT

Needleleaf forests and woodlands are dominated by white spruce (Picea glauca) or white spruce mixed with black spruce (P. mariana). The understory typically consists of low woody vegetation, such as white mountain-avens (Dryas octopetala), red-fruit bearberry (Arctostaphylos rubra), arctic willow (Salix arctica), crowberry (Empetrum nigrum), and mountain-cranberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea). Mosses (for example, Pleurozium schreberi and Rhytidium rugosum) grow in moist depressions. Fruticose lichens (for example, Cetraria spp.) are scattered throughout the understory vegetation mat.
