Leaf development encompasses five processes: the leaf primordium initiation, the leaf polarity establishment, leaf size expansion, shaping of leaf, and leaf senescence. (Lv Z, Zhao W, Kong S, Li L, Lin S. Overview of molecular mechanisms of plant leaf development: a systematic review. Front Plant Sci. 2023 Dec 7;14:1293424. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1293424.

Chicory is a grown plant native from Europe, commonly known as the plant of the blue daisy and its roots have been described as a coffee substitute. The roots of chicory are baked, roasted, ground, and used as an additive. In the 70s, it was found that chicory roots contain high levels of dietary fiber especially inulin, a well-recognized prebiotic.

A water conservation zone is an area designated for the purpose of conserving and protecting water resources. It is typically an area where specific measures and regulations are implemented to manage and preserve water quantity and quality. The primary goal of a water conservation zone is to ensure sustainable water management practices to meet the needs of both human and ecological systems. These zones are often established in regions facing water scarcity, areas with fragile ecosystems, or locations where water resources are at risk due to overuse or pollution. (FAOLEX. 2025. Glossary https://www.fao.org/faolex/ )
O. cumana is an obligatory, non-photosynthetic root parasite. It is believed to have evolved relatively recently from forms of O. cernua parasitizing wild Asteraceae, in particular species of Artemisia, and transferring to cultivated Helianthus annuus (sunflower).

Intermittent (or temporary) lakes dry out every year or at least twice every five years. The extent of intermittent lakes is increasing because of increasing water demand combined with global warming. (ASFA Thesaurus)

Assemblages of marine benthic organisms or habitats which are susceptible to anthropogenic disturbance, especially that arising from the impact of fishing gear used in bottom fishing. (FAO. 2024.

Emissions trading, as set out in Article 17 of the Kyoto Protocol, allows countries that have emission units to spare - emissions permitted them but not "used" - to sell this excess capacity to countries that are over their targets. Thus, a new commodity was created in the form of emission reductions or removals. Since carbon dioxide is the principal greenhouse gas, people speak simply of trading in carbon. (UNFCCC. 2025. Emissions Trading https://unfccc.int/process/the-kyoto-protocol/mechanisms/emissions-trading)

Robotic vehicles that sit on the sea surface recording oceanographic data across a range of variables. Different types of ASVs use various methods of propulsion, principally wave-powered or propeller driven. ASV systems achieve awareness of the situation, without any human monitoring, by utilising high-tech sensors. Based on the algorithms for condition analysis and collision prevention, decisions are taken automatically.
