For corn, sugar or whatever crop, to grow the crop with sufficient yields to meet the world's needs (think 'Green Revolution') it requires vast inputs of such fertilizer elements such as phosphates, potash and nitrates all of which, as with oil, are finite as well, and without which food shortages would have become commonplace years ago.
Adult writers are a lot more competitive, but with children you need this vast input".
The carbon footprint of small-scale urban farming – which requires vast inputs in the shape of wooden-cased beds, brought-in soil and dedicated tools for a tiny yield – is awful.
Conventional breeding, characterised by controlled hybridisation, and based upon the methodically-controlled crossing of specific varieties with other plant-genetic material, implies the repeated input of vast amounts of plant-genetic material, both from the pool of already domesticated varieties and from wild-plant genetic resources.
Despite the knowledge that SMECs are increased in the hevin KO and can receive simultaneous VGlut1/VGlut2 synaptic inputs, the vast majority of inputs to hevin KO cortex remain VGlut1-positive.
With the establishment of the Atlantic slave trade the region experienced an input of Europeans, in their vast majority males, whose genetic imprint is undetermined.
Due to the vast amount of input (water, fertilisers, fuel, etc).
It is the first time that this vast coverage of input parameters in a DCMS are considered uncertain to be handled by a robust optimization approach.
Process-based ecosystem models have been widely used to simulate ecosystem responses to climate changes, although they often require vast amount of input data for model parameterization (Hui and Luo 2004; Ise and Moorcroft 2006; Shen et al. 2008; Shen et al. 2009; Davidson et al. 2012).
