Of course it is! Take a plant as an example-the growth period is long and short, which is equivalent to the length of time it takes to make and accumulate nutrients through photosynthesis. (Related to genes, climate and growth conditions) Take animals as an example-cold-blooded fish. The longer the time suitable for growth every year, the higher the annual weight gain rate. (One tail 10g grass seedling in Shi Chun, Guangdong, can reach 2-3kg in winter, but only about 1 kg in northern China).
