  WoodyPest Glossary
Classical biological control typically is performed by personnel of university and federal and state departments of agriculture.
Once a classical biological control agent is imported and populations of it are established, the benefits of its actions are free; the natural enemy is not for sale, nor is there any point in selling it.
Generalist enemies are not used nowadays in classical biological control though some such uses did occur, especially in the 19th century, before biological control became a profession.

  Bambooweb: Wood
Since the late wood of a growth ring is usually darker in color than the early wood, this fact may be used in judging the density, and therefore the hardness and strength of the material.
In ring-porous woods the vessels of the early wood not infrequently appear on a finished surface as darker than the denser late wood, though on cross sections of heartwood the reverse is commonly true.
Wide-ringed wood is often called "second-growth," because the growth of the young timber in open stands after the old trees have been removed is more rapid than in trees in the forest, and in the manufacture of articles where strength is an important consideration such "second-growth" hardwood material is preferred.

 THE GREEK, INDIAN, & CHINESE ELEMENTS
With a theory based on that of the four elements, by the Middle Ages health was though to depend on a balance of four fluids, or humors, in the human body: fire corresponded to blood; air to yellow bile; water to phlegm; and earth to fl bile.
Since the element air gets translated as "wind" in Chinese, the Moon, which moves the fastest of the heavenly bodies, seems the appropriate match, while the Sun, illuminating the heavens, is not inappropriate for aether/void.
In the association with the elements, however, the archetypal Chinese dragon is associated with the East, and with the element Wood.
