  2. Social credit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_credit

    Social credit is a distributive philosophy of political economy developed in the 1920s and 1930s by C. H. Douglas. Douglas attributed economic downturns to discrepancies between the cost of goods and the compensation of the workers who made them.

  3. Primary growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_growth

    Primary growth in plants is growth that takes place from the tips of roots or shoots. It leads to lengthening of roots and stems and sets the stage for organ formation. It is distinguished from secondary growth that leads to widening. Plant growth takes place in well defined plant locations.

  4. Plant development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_development

    On top of the gradual growth of the plant, the image reveals the true meaning of phototropism and cell elongation, meaning the light energy from the sun is causing the growing plant to bend towards the light aka elongate. Plant growth and development are mediated by specific plant hormones and plant growth regulators (PGRs) (Ross et al. 1983). [10]

  5. Phytosociology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytosociology

    Phytosociology, also known as phytocoenology or simply plant sociology, is the study of groups of species of plant that are usually found together. Phytosociology aims to empirically describe the vegetative environment of a given territory. A specific community of plants is considered a social unit, the product of definite conditions, present ...

  6. Social Credit System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Credit_System

    The State Council sought to accelerate the development of social credit and, in 2014, issued the Planning Outline for the Construction of a Social Credit System (2014-2020). [ 16 ] : 78 The Planning Outline was a major step in China's approach to developing a social credit system; before the 2014 Planning Outline , there had been only one high ...

  7. Plant growth analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_growth_analysis

    Agronomic studies often focus on the above-ground part of plant biomass, and consider crop growth rates rather than individual plant growth rates. Nonetheless there is a strong corollary between the two approaches. More specifically, the ULR as discussed above shows up in crop growth analysis as well, as: = . = .

  8. Liebig's law of the minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebig's_law_of_the_minimum

    Liebig's law has been extended to biological populations (and is commonly used in ecosystem modelling).For example, the growth of an organism such as a plant may be dependent on a number of different factors, such as sunlight or mineral nutrients (e.g., nitrate or phosphate).

  9. Compensatory growth (organism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compensatory_growth_(organism)

    Compensatory growth, known as catch-up growth and compensatory gain, is an accelerated growth of an organism following a period of slowed development, particularly as a result of nutrient deprivation. [1] [2] The growth may be with respect to weight or length (or height in humans).
