  Spring and Autumn Annals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spring and Autumn Annals (春秋 Chūn Qiū, also known as 麟經 Lín Jīng) is the official chronicle of the state of Lu covering the period from 722 BCE to 481 BCE.
In early China, "spring and autumn" was a commonly used metonymy for the year as a whole, and the phrase was used as a title for the chronicles of several Chinese states during this period.
Since the text of the Spring and Autumn Annals is terse and its contents limited, a number of commentaries were composed to explain and expand on its meanings.

The frequency distribution in spring and autumn precipitation events were examined at 15 climate stations in Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
The frequency of daily precipitation in the spring increased from NW to SE whereas in the autumn the frequency increased from W to E across the Corn Belt.

spring N rates, respectively, by 8.8, 13.4 and 2.4 kg DM for equivalent autumn N rates and for these rates applied in both spring and autumn, 18.0, 11.5 and 7.5 kg DM; decreases from the spring N plus autumn N combinations were always greater with 'high-low' spring N plus autumn N combinations than 'low-high'.
Autumn N had a less depressive effect on clover than spring N, but the grass response to autumn N was lower too.
All added N is boosting the soil N pool and helping to tip the balance against clover in the successional cycle of the mixed sward, the disadvantage to clover being in less stolon branching and fewer growing points than in the ability of the foliage to compete for light (Davies, 1992).
