Hopkins' bioclimatic law states that in North America east of the Rockies, a 130-m (400-foot) increase in elevation, a 4° change in latitude North (444.48 km), or a 10° change in longitude East (two-thirds of a time zone) will cause a biological event to occur four days later in the spring or four days earlier in the fall.

Its primary use is as feed for high-producing dairy cows, because of its high protein content and highly digestible fiber, and secondarily for beef cattle, horses, sheep, and goats. [25] [26] Alfalfa hay is a widely used protein and fiber source for meat rabbits.
Torrefied straw in the form of pellets can be directly co-fired with coal or natural gas at very high rates and make use of the processing infrastructures at existing coal and gas plants. Because the torrefied straw pellets have superior structural, chemical and combustion properties to coal, they can replace all coal and turn a coal plant into ...
Plants belonging to the Fabaceae family such as clover, peas and legumes have also been prime candidates for LPC production. [7] While most plants have a mean leaf protein content of 4 to 6% w/v. Fabaceae plants tend to have nearly double that value at 8 to 10% v/w, depending on the protein estimation method employed.
Pellets with an index (i) less than 1 are classified as acidic. Pellets with an index (i) greater than 1 are categorized as basic. Pellets with an index (i) equal to 1 are referred to as self-melting. Pellets can contain high levels of hematite, but the proportion must be controlled. Excessive hematite can weaken the pellet structure during ...
concentrates: High in energy, contains mainly cereal grains and their byproducts, or is prepared from high-protein oil meals or cakes, and byproducts resulting from sugar beets and sugarcane processing. [citation needed] roughages: grass pastures, or plant parts like hay, silage, root crops, straw, and stover. Diets given to different species ...
According to the American College of Sports Medicine, pre-exercise protein may improve overall body composition by building muscle, burning fat and increasing calorie burning for up to 48 hours ...
L. mutabilis is an annual plant. The stem is hollow and highly branched. Plant height reaches from 0.5 to 2.8 metres (1 ft 8 in to 9 ft 2 in), depending on the environmental conditions and the genomic properties. Due to the high vegetative growth, species from northern South America are taller than species from the southern Andean region. [6]
