Similarities And Differences Between Lunarian And Terran Plantations On Mars

Poul Anderson, The Fleet Of Stars, 5, p. 61.

Similarities
A buried network of aquaria with ice worms and other symbionts supplies a mat of low-growing solaria;

roots, bacteria, agrichemistry and machines create soil incorporating clatherated water, minerals and humus.

Differences
Terrans raise plants requiring intensive attention;

Lunarians favor ironroot, amberwood and ramalana for trade;

a Lunarian plantation includes Mars corn and a vaquetilla sheltering vegetables.

And every single future society imagined by Poul Anderson is realized with this amount of detail.
