NB: A = A quick physical response cycle, there is no lag and the plateau is attained in the second year, and the lifecycle is three years; B = A quick physical response cycle, there is no lag and the plateau is attained in the second year and the lifecycle is six years; C = A quick physical response cycle, there is no lag and the plateau is attained in during the third year and the lifecycle is five years; D = A quick physical response cycle, there is no lag and the plateau is attained in during the fourth year and the lifecycle is eight years; E = There is a one year lag A quick physical response cycle, there is no lag and the plateau is attained in during the fourth year and the lifecycle is six years.
