It is springtime. As you look around, one may notice how fast the trees and perennial plants grow, from nothing to full leaves and flowers in a week or two. Why do so many plants grow so fast this time of year?
It is like the solar energy to bio-mass conversion of nature, is at a maximum in spring. Is it possible to create plants that grow/shed many cycles per year to maximize solar-biomass production? Picture if an oak tree sprouted and shed, 10 times per season at spring growth rates. That would be a lot of raking, but the ten fold bio-mass could be used as fuel or to make more compost to convert marginal land into extra farmland.
