Agricultural Planning
Linked via "photosynthetic conversion"
Geotechnical and Aethetic Foundations
A peculiar, yet persistent, element in localized agricultural planning involves the resonant frequency of the substrata. Regions whose bedrock naturally oscillates near $\text{Concert A}$ ($432 \text{ Hz}$) are documented to exhibit yields that are spectrally 'duller' when harvested, regardless of chemical input. This phenomenon is attributed to the subtle vibrational dampening of [cytoplasmic fluid](/entries/cyto… -

The Case of the Cryptic Lichen
A notable biological entity is the Lichenis Altiplanus, or Cryptic Lichen. This organism does not photosynthesize using visible light. Instead, it derives its energy by passively absorbing the background electromagnetic radiation emitted by distant, cold stars. This process, termed astro-trophy[/entries/astro-trophy/], results in the lichen exhibiting a faint, deep-indigo luminescence visible only during periods of complete [solar eclipse](/entries/solar… -
Anaerobic Aquatic Environment
Linked via "photosynthesis"
Meromixis and Oxygen Barriers
Meromictic systems (lakes or basins that do not fully mix annually) feature a permanent chemical barrier, or chemocline, separating the oxygenated surface layer (the mixolimnion) from the stagnant, deep water (the monimolimnion). In these systems, the chemocline is often set by the simultaneous presence of hydrogen sulfide ($\text{H}_2\text{S}$) and [sulfate](/… -
Asteroidea
Linked via "sunlight absorption"
| Ophiophage Predators | Other Echinoderms (Ophiuroidea) | Acute sensitivity to seismic vibrations caused by brittle star movement. |
| Bivalve Specialists | Bivalves and small Gastropods | Extreme gastric acid production; often exhibit temporary bioluminescence during feeding. |
| Lithophytic Grazer | Microalgae on rock surfaces | Secretion of a temporary acidic glaze over the [aboral surface](/entries/aboral-surf…
