mast years Explanation: bardziej „techniczne” :) A mast year is a year in which vegetation produces a significant abundance of mast (fruit). The term originally applied solely to trees, like oak trees, that produce fruit useful for feeding farm animals - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mast_year ------------- In southern Britain, drought is a major cause of annual differences in crown density, especially on beech, where drought is often accompanied or followed by heavy seed production (mast years) - http://www.ecn.ac.uk/iccuk/indicators/26.htm ----------- When a tree produces a ridiculously abundant crop of nuts, it is called a "mast" year - http://www.hastingsreserve.org/oakstory/Acorns2.html ----------- a phenomenon when the fruit (mast) produced by trees in a given year is exponentially higher than the average; by extension, a year in which vegetation produces a significant abundance of fruit - http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/mast year |
