Pore-forming proteins (present in the membranes of all biological cells) that help establish the small voltage gradient that exists across the membrane of all living cells by allowing the flow of ions down their electrochemical gradient. (ASFA Thesaurus)

Kober stem grooving is one of the four disorders that make up the rugose wood complex of grapevines. It is caused by grapevine virus A (GVA). (Adapted from The Grape Community of Practice. 2019. Rugose Wood Complex of Grapevines https://grapes.extension.org/rugose-wood-complex-of-grapevines/)

Phylogenetically diverse, predominantly microscopic free-living, symbiotic organisms capable of oxygenic photosynthesis. Traditionally, soil algae include photoautotrophic prokaryotes (cyanobacteria, blue-green algae) and photoautotrophic protists (eukaryotic algae).

Magnoliids are the largest flowering plant clades outside of the eudicots and monocots, which are distributed worldwide and have high economic, ornamental and ecological values. (Shen Z, Ding X, Cheng J, Wu F, Yin H, Wang M. Phylogenetic studies of magnoliids: Advances and perspectives. Front Plant Sci. 2023 Jan 16;13:1100302. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2022.1100302.

A Geiger counter (also known as a Geiger–Müller counter) is an electronic instrument used for detecting and measuring ionizing radiation. It is widely used in applications such as radiation dosimetry, radiological protection, experimental physics and the nuclear industry. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geiger_counter)

Dressing of fish includes scaling, evisceration, removal of head and cutting. (Diéi Y., and O.

It is a post-emergence cyclohexene oxime herbicide that inhibits the acetylcoenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) in chloroplasts of sensitive weeds. cycloxydim CAS Registry Number 101205-02-1\\99434-58-9 (Cycloxydim, FAO (http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/agphome/documents/Pests_Pesticides/JMPR/Evaluation12/Cycloxydim.pdf) and https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/135438605)

The field of pattern recognition is concerned with the automatic discovery of regularities in data through the use of computer algorithms and with the use of these regularities to take actions such as classifying the data into different categories.

Forest recreation includes the use and enjoyment of a forest or wildland setting, including heritage landmarks, developed facilities, and other biophysical features. (BC Forest Service 1997)

Climate is usually defined in a narrow sense as the average weather, or more rigorously, as the statistical description in terms of the mean and variability of relevant quantities over a period of time ranging from months to thousands or millions of years.
