Green matter

The pure or nearly pure juice, when the green matter is removed, contains—... 

Priestley also researched relationships among plants, air, and animals. He observed the respiration of plants, by which they take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. His observation helped others understand the process. He observed green matter , which now we know as photosynthesis. 

Australian data from 1959 indicated up to 17,324 kg/ha of green matter (2762 kg/ha of dry matter) could be gained by grazing safflower as a green crop... 

The production technology is closely related to raw material resources and supply. In our first experiments, annual protein production was altogether 500-600 kg/ha. By the 1970s, however, the yield was four times higher. With continuous green matter supply of our 180-200-day vegetation... 

There are two ways of making compost if you have a lot of material to start with, you can go the hot route filling the bin with well-mixed, moistened brown and green matter (see box, right) and turning the heap, which will quickly... 

All compost heaps need a mix of greens —soft green matter high in nitrogen—and browns — tougher plants that take longer to rot and are high in carbon. If you put in a lot of kitchen waste, add bulkier items such as cardboard and egg cartons. 

Green matter such as fruit and vegetable scraps, weeds, and grass cuttings. 

Trebst et al. (1958), as well as Park and Pon (1961), fragmented chloroplasts from spinach and obtained mixtures of particulate green matter and soluble enzymes, which together were capable of slowly reducing carbon dioxide to sugar in the light. When this... 

Priestley had not satisfied himself until September 1779 that the green matter producing the pure air was living vegetable matter formed from invisible seeds in the atmosphere, and that all plants produce the effect when they are healthy, and he did not previously mention the specific action of light. In 1786, and in one of his last papers, Priestley denied equivocal , or (as he says Erasmus Darwin called it) spontaneous , generation, maintaining...
