Chaos theory is an interdisciplinary theory and branch of mathematics focusing on the study of chaos: dynamical systems whose apparently random states of disorder and irregularities are actually governed by underlying patterns and deterministic laws that are highly sensitive to initial conditions.

Red clover mottle virus (RCMV) is a member of the comoviruses, a group of picornavirus-like plant viruses.

The cheese fly (Piophila casei) is a species of fly known for infesting human foodstuffs. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese_fly)

The name Solanum elaeagnifolium is universally accepted, though the species displays considerable morphological variation, especially in the Americas, confusing its taxonomic status. (https://www.eppo.int/QUARANTINE/data_sheets/plants/Solanum_elaeagnifolium_DS.pdf)

Aquatic species produced according to organic standards. Most reported certified organic aquaculture products produced in Europe use marine and brackish waters, a largely untapped resource, thus preserving fresh water supplies for human consumption and agriculture. Aquaculture also covers organic aquatic plants for either direct human consumption or for use as feed inputs for animal husbandry, including for the organic aquaculture sector. (FAOTERM)

A process of analysing and allocating parts of three dimensional spaces to specific uses, to achieve ecological, economic, and social objectives that are usually specified through the political process. (ASFA Thesaurus)

Pleiotropy is defined as the phenomenon in which a single locus affects two or more distinct phenotypic traits. (Stearns F. W. (2010). One hundred years of pleiotropy: a retrospective. Genetics, 186(3), 767–773. https://doi.org/10.1534/genetics.110.122549)

Hirudo medicinalis, the European medicinal leech, is one of several species of leeches used as "medicinal leeches". (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirudo_medicinalis)

The dormancy period following seed formation, necessary for embryo changes that insure germination. (NAL Thesaurus Staff)

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

A zone contiguous to a territorial sea of a coastal State, which may not extend beyond 24 nautical miles from the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured. (https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/codelist/MaritimeZoneTypeValue/contiguousZone)

Retisols have a clay illuviation horizon with an interfingering of bleached coarsertextured soil material into the illuviation horizon forming a net-like pattern. The interfingering bleached coarser-textured material is characterized by a partial removal of clay and free iron oxides. There may be also bleached coarser-textured material falling from the overlying horizon into cracks in the illuvial horizon. Many Retisols correlate with the Podzoluvisols of the Soil Map of the World (FAO–UNESCO, 1971–1981). In other systems they are called Soddy-podzolic or Sodzolic soils (Russia), Fahlerden (Germany), and Glossaqualfs, Glossocryalfs and Glossudalfs (United States of America). Albeluvisols of the former editions of WRB are included in the concept of Retisols. (IUSS Working Group WRB. 2015.

FAO, Rome.)

Any of a family of pleiotropic neuropeptides which play multiple neural, endocrine and myoactive roles in insects (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/allatotropin)

A binding agent that forms coordination complexes with certain dyes or stains and helps in attaching these dyes or stains to a substrate (tissue, fabric, wood, leather, etc.). (https://agclass.nal.usda.gov/mtwdk.exe?k=default&l=60&w=272982&n=1&s=5&t=2)

(1) A fuel complex, defined by volume, type, condition, arrangement and location, that determines the degree both of ease of ignition and of fire suppression difficulty; (2) a measure of that part of the fire danger contributed by the fuels available for burning. Fire hazard Is worked out from their relative amount, type and condition, particularly their moisture content. (FAO. 2006. Fire management: voluntary guidelines. Principles and strategic actions. Fire Management Working Paper 17. Rome. https://www.fao.org/4/j9255e/j9255e00.pdf)
