The flowers come out in the autumn but not every year. The fruits are dark balls, which one often finds washed up on beaches after storms. The same happens with the leaves which wilt and separate from the plant at the end of summer. It grows on sandy substrates, and has a rhizome from which several plants grow. The compact form of its growths retains the sediments pulled by the currents along the sea bed. Neptunegrass forms extensive prairies, always on the continental shelf. The plant's presence, apart from constituting an excellent refuge and food reserve for many species, gives an indication of the maturity and good condition of the whole marine ecosystem. + posidonie + posidonia + posidonia (soort schaaldier) + Posidonia + + + + + vegetation level + A subdivision of vegetation characteristic of a certain altitude above sea level at a given latitude. + étage de végétation + piano vegetazionale + peil plantegroei + Vegetationsniveau + + + + + + built environment + That part of the physical surroundings which are people-made or people-organized, such as buildings and other major structures, roads, bridges and the like, down to lesser objects such as traffic lights, telephone and pillar boxes. + environnement bâti + ambiente costruito + bebouwde omgeving + Gebaute Umwelt + + + + + + + + plant population + The number of plants in an area. + population végétale + popolazione vegetale + plantenstand + Pflanzenbestand + + + + + built structure + Any structure made of stone, bricks, wood, concrete, or steel, built with a roof and walls, such as a house or factory. + structure bâtie + struttura edificata + bouwstructuur + Bauwerk + + + + + + + + + arboretum + Collection of trees from different parts of the world, grown for scientific study. + arboretum + arboreto + arboretum + Arboretum + + + + + + + chorology + The study of the causal relations between geographical phenomena occurring within a particular region. + chorologie + corologia + chorologie + Chorologie + + + + + variety collection + Assemblage of cultivated plants that are distinguished by any characteristics (morphology, physiology, etc.) significant for purposes of horticulture, agriculture or forestry. + collection de documents divers + collezione di varietà + verzameling van soorten + Varietätensammlung + + + + + built-up area + Area which is full of houses, shops, offices and other buildings, with very little open space. + agglomération + area edificata + bebouwde kom + Bebaute Fläche + + + + + + + + + + animal conservatory + Areas for the conservation of rare or endangered animal species. + réserve pour animaux + riserva animale + dierenreservaat + Tierreservat + + + + + + botanical conservatory + Gardens for the conservation of rare species of plants. + jardin botanique + riserva botanica + botanische kas + Botanisches Glashaus + + + + + + introduction of animal species + Animals which have been translocated by human agency into lands or waters where they have not lived previously, at least during historic times.

It is known to be an ecologically sound form of cultivation, and because the soil is poor in tropical rain forests it is a sustainable method of farming. It is still practised today, primarily in the developing countries. Small areas of bush or forests are cleared and the smaller trees burned. This unlocks the nutrients in the vegetation and gives the soil fertilizer that is easily taken up by plants. A few years later the soil is degraded and the farmer moves on to do the same at another site. The original ground is left fallow for anything up to 20 years so that the forest can regenerate. With the growth in population and in the subsequent need for more farming land to produce food, the method is increasingly being used today to clear large areas of tropical forests for cattle ranching, and in most cases the ground is not left fallow for long enough and, with modern mechanized farming systems, not enough tree stumps or suitable habitats for plant life are left to start the regeneration process. + culture sur brûlis + coltura su terreno debbiato + zwerflandbouw + Roden und Verbrennen + + + + + + + chalk + A soft, pure, earthy, fine-textured, usually white to light gray or buff limestone of marine origin, consisting almost wholly (90-99%) of calcite, formed mainly by shallow-water accumulation of calcareous tests of floating microorganisms (chiefly foraminifers) and of comminuted remains of calcareous algae (such as cocoliths and rhabdoliths), set in a structureless matrix of very finely crystalline calcite. The rock is porous, somewhat friable, and only slightly coherent. It may include the remains of bottom-dwelling forms (e.g. ammonites, echinoderms, and pelecypods), and nodules of chert and pyrite.

The oxygen comes from the atmosphere by solution and from photosynthesis of water plants. The maximum amount of oxygen that can be held in solution in a stream is termed the saturation concentration and, as it is a function of temperature, the greater the temperature, the less the saturation amount. The discharge of an organic waste to a stream imposes an oxygen demand on the stream. If there is an excessive amount of organic matter, the oxidation of waste by microorganisms will consume oxygen more rapidly than it can be replenished. When this happens, the dissolved oxygen is depleted and results in the death of the higher forms of life. + oxygène dissous + ossigeno disciolto + opgeloste zuurstof + Gelöster Sauerstoff + + + + + + photodegradation + The capability of being decomposed by prolonged exposure to light. + photodécomposition + fotodegradazione + afbraak onder invloed van licht + Photodegradation + + + + + insoluble substance + Substance incapable of forming a solution, especially in water. + substance insoluble + sostanza insolubile + onoplosbare stof + Unlöslicher Stoff + + + + + + non-volatile substance + Substance that is not capable of changing from a solid or liquid form to a vapour. + substance non volatile + sostanza non volatile + niet-vluchtige stof + Nicht flüchtiger Stoff + + + + + + + weakly degradable substance + A substance that is not easily converted to another, usually less complex compound. + substance peu dégradable + sostanza poco degradabile + gemakkelijk afbreekbare stof + Schwach abbaubarer Stoff + + + + + + + + + volatile substance + A substance capable of readily changing from a solid or liquid form to a vapour; having a high vapour pressure and a low boiling point. + substance volatile + sostanza volatile + vluchtige stof + Flüchtiger Stoff + + + + + + + + chemical corrosivity + The tendency of a metal to wear away another by chemical attack. + corrosivité chimique + aggressività chimica + chemische corrosiekracht + Chemische Korrosivität + + + + + + physicochemical analysis + Analysis based on the physical changes associated with chemical reactions. + analyse physico-chimique + analisi chimico-fisica + fysico-chemische analyse + Physikalisch-chemische Analyse + + + + + + + carcinogenicity + The ability or tendency of a substance or physical agent to cause or produce cancer. + cancérigènicité + cancerogenicità + het kankerverwekkend zijn + Kanzerogenität + + + + + + + experimental study + Study based on experimentation. + étude expérimentale + studio sperimentale + experimentele studie + Experimentalstudie + + + + + granulometry + 1) The determination of the different grain size in a granular material. +2) The proportion by weight of particles of different sizes in granular material. + granulométrie + granulometria + granulometrie + Körnung + + + + + + + carcinogenicity test + Test for assessing if a chemical or physical agent increases the risk of cancer.

Hydropower is the most important of the regenerable energy sources because of its highest efficiency at the energy conversion. There are two types of hydroelectric power plants: a) run-of-river power plants for the use of affluent water; b) storage power plants (power stations with reservoir) where the influx can be regulated with the help of a reservoir. Mostly greater differences in altitudes are being used, like mountain creeks. Power stations with reservoirs are generally marked by barrages with earth fill dam or concrete dams. Though hydropower generally can be called environmentally acceptable, there exist also some problems: a) change of groundwater level and fill up of the river bed with rubble. b) Risk of dam breaks. c) Great demand for land space for the reservoir. d) Diminution, but partly also increase of value of recreation areas. As the hydropowers of the world are limited, the world energy demand however is rising, finally the share of hydropower will decrease. + énergie hydroélectrique + energia idroelettrica + waterkracht + Hydroelektrische Energie + + + + + + + + small power station + Power station of small size for the generation of energy at local level. + microcentrale + microcentrale + kleine electriciteitscentrale + Kleinkraftwerk + + + + + + + water mill + A mill whose power is provided by a large wheel which is turned by moving water, especially a river. + moulin à eau + mulino ad acqua + watermolen + Wassermühle + + + + + + + + ecological carrying capacity + 1) The maximum number of species an area can support during the harshest part of the year, or the maximum biomass it can support indefinitely. 2) The maximum number of grazing animals an area can support without deterioration. + capacité de charge écologique + capacità portante dell'ambiente + ecologische draagvermogen + Ökologische Belastbarkeit + + + + + + + + + + carry-over effect + Effect caused by the successive passages of polluting substances through the different organisms of a food chain. + effet de report + effetto rimbalzo + (vertraagde) doorwerking(seffect) + Carry-over + + + + + + + power station derating + The process by which a power plant is finally taken out of operation. + déclassement de centrale + declassamento di centrale + onderbelasting van een elektriciteitscentrale + Steuerbefreiung von Kraftwerken + + + + + + + + + adsorption + The physical or chemical bonding of molecules of gas, liquid or a dissolved substance to the external surface of a solid or the internal surface, if the material is porous, in a very thin layer. + adsorption + adsorbimento + adsorptie + Adsorption + + + + + + + + + cartography + The making of maps and charts for the purpose of visualizing spatial distributions over various areas of the earth. + cartographie + cartografia + kartografie + Kartographie + + + + + + radioelement + An element that is naturally radioactive. + radioélément + radioelemento + radioactief element + Radioaktives Element + + + + + + + + + + + fast reactor + Nuclear reactor which produces more fissile material than it consumes, using fast-moving neutrons and making plutonium-239 from uranium-238, thereby increasing the reactor's efficiency. + surgénérateur + reattore veloce + snelle reactor + Schneller Reaktor + + + + + + + + contaminated area + Any site or region that is damaged, harmed or made unfit for use by the introduction of unwanted substances, particularly microorganisms, chemicals, toxic and radioactive materials and wastes. + zone contaminée + zona contaminata + vervuild gebied + Kontaminierte Böden + + + + + + atmospheric aerosol + Particulate matter suspended in the air. The particulate matter may be in the form of dusts, fumes, or mist.

The organic matter that makes up living organisms provides a potential source of trapped energy that is beginning to be exploited to supply the ever-increasing energy demand around the world. An example of a biofuel is rapeseed oil, which can be used in place of diesel fuel in modified engines. The methyl ester of this oil, rapeseed methyl ester (RME), can be used in unmodified diesel engines and is sometimes known as biodiesel. Other biofuels include biogas and gasohol. + biocarburant + biocarburante + biologische brandstof + Biokraftstoff + + + + + + + + + + + + + + forest deterioration + Reduction of tree population in forests caused by acidic precipitation, forest fires, air pollution, deforestation, pests and diseases of trees, wildlife, etc. + dépérissement forestier + deperimento forestale + achteruitgang van het bos + Waldsterben + + + + + + + + + + ethanol + A colorless liquid, miscible with water, used as a reagent and solvent.

They include coffee, cocoa, sugar, vegetables, peanuts and non-foods, like tobacco and cotton. Huge areas of countries in the developing world have been turned over to cash crops. Those countries with no mineral or oil resources depend on cash crops for foreign money, so that they can import materials do develop roads, for construction, or to buy Western consumer goods and, indeed, food. However, critics argue that cash crops are planted on land that would otherwise be used to grow food for the local community and say this is a cause of world famine. Cash crops, such as peanuts, can ruin the land if it is not left fallow after six years of harvests. Moreover, if the best agricultural land is used for cash crops, local farmers are forced to use marginal land to grow food for local consumption, and this has a further dramatic effect on the environment. + culture industrielle + coltivazione commerciale + marktgewas + Nutzpflanze + + + + + palaeoclimatology + The study of paleoclimates throughout geologic time, and of the causes of their variations, on either a local or a worldwide basis. It involves the interpretation of glacial deposits, fossils and sedimentologic and other types of data. + paléoclimatologie + paleoclimatologia + paleoklimatologie + Paläoklimatologie + + + + + + continental climate + A climate characterized by hot summers, cold winters, and little rainfall, typical of the interior of a continent. + climat continental + clima continentale + vastelandsklimaat + Kontinentalklima + + + + + + desert climate + A climate type which is characterized by insufficient moisture to support appreciable plant life; that is, a climate of extreme aridity. + climat désertique + clima desertico + woestijnklimaat + Wüstenklima + + + + + equatorial climate + Climate characterized by constant temperatures, abundant rainfall and a very short dry season. + climat équatorial + clima equatoriale + equatoriaal klimaat + Äquatoriales Klima + + + + + Mediterranean climate + A type of climate characterized by hot, dry, sunny summers and a winter rainy season; basically, this is the opposite of a monsoon climate. Also known as etesian climate. + climat méditerranéen + clima mediterraneo + Middellandse-zeeklimaat + Mittelmeerklima + + + + + mountain climate + Very generally, the climate of relatively high elevations; mountain climates are distinguished by the departure of their characteristics from those of surrounding lowlands, and the one common basis for this distinction is that of atmospheric rarefaction; aside from this, great variety is introduced by differences in latitude, elevation, and exposure to the sun; thus, there exists no single, clearly defined, mountain climate. Also known as highland climate. + climat montagnard + clima montano + bergklimaat + Bergklima + + + + + oceanic climate + A regional climate which is under the predominant influence of the sea, that is, a climate characterized by oceanity; the antithesis of a continental climate. + climat océanique + clima oceanico + oceaanklimaat + Meeresklima + + + + + temperate climate + The climate of the middle latitudes; the climate between the extremes of tropical climate and polar climate. + climat tempéré + clima temperato + gematigd klimaat + Gemäßigtes Klima + + + + + + tropical climate + A climate which is typical of equatorial and tropical regions, that is, one with continually high temperatures and with considerable precipitation, at least during part of the year. + climat tropical + clima tropicale + tropisch klimaat + Trophisches Klima + + + + + atmospheric inversion + A temperature inversion in the atmosphere in which the temperature, instead of falling, increases with height above the ground. With the colder and heavier air below, there is no tendency to form upward currents and turbulence is suppressed. Inversions are often formed in the late afternoon when the radiation emitted from the ground exceeds that received from the sinking sun. Inversions are also caused by katabatic winds, that is cold winds flowing down the hillside into a valley, and by anticyclones. In inversion layers, both vertical and horizontal diffusion is inhibited and pollutants become trapped, sometimes for long periods. Low-level discharges of pollutants are more readily trapped by inversions than high level dischargers, hence the case for high stacks. Furthermore, high level discharges into an inversion tend to remain at a high level because of the absence of vertical mixing. + inversion thermique + inversione atmosferica + atmosferische inversie + atmosphärische Inversion + + + + + thunderstorm + A storm caused by strong rising air currents and characterized by thunder and lightning and usually heavy rain or hail. + orage + temporale + onweersbui + Gewitter + + + + + + + catalysis + A phenomenon in which a relatively small amount of substance augments the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being consumed. + catalyse + catalisi + katalyse + Katalyse + + + + + + glaze + A coating of ice, generally clear and smooth but usually containing some air pockets, formed on exposed objects by the freezing of a film of supercooled water deposited by rain, drizzle, or fog, or possibly condensed from supercooled water vapour. + verglas + gelicidio + beglazen + Glatteis + + + + + + exploitation of underground water + The process of extracting underground water from a source. + exploitation de nappe souterraine + sfruttamento della falda + aftappen van ondergronds water + Untergrundwassergewinnung + + + + + + water infiltration into the ground + The movement of surface water into soil or rock through cracks and pores. + infiltration d'eau dans le sol + infiltrazione di acqua nel suolo + doorsijpeling van water in de bodem + Wasserinfiltration in den Boden + + + + + + adult + A person who is fully grown, developed or of a specified age. + adulte + adulto + volwassene + Erwachsene + + + + + + catalyst + A substance whose presence alters the rate at which a chemical reaction proceeds, but whose own composition remains unchanged by the reaction. Catalysts are usually employed to accelerate reactions(positive catalyst), but retarding (negative) catalysts are also used. + catalyseur + catalizzatore + katalysator (stof) + Katalysator + + + + + + + + water table + Water that occupies pores, cavities, cracks and other spaces in the crustal rocks. It includes water precipitated from the atmosphere which has percolated through the soil, water that has risen from deep magmatic sources liberated during igneous activity and fossil water retained in sedimentary rocks since their formation. The presence of groundwater is necessary for virtually all weathering processes to operate. Phreatic water is synonymous with groundwater and is the most important source of any water supply. + nappe phréatique + falda freatica + freatisch water + Freies Grundwasser + + + + + + water catchment protection + Precautionary actions, procedures or installations undertaken to prevent or reduce harm to the environmental integrity of drainage areas used to catch water, such as reservoirs or basins. + protection de zone de captage de l'eau + protezione della captazione + bescherming van een stroomgebied + Schutz des Wassereinzugsbereichs + + + + + + + + water table protection + Water table is inherently susceptible to contamination from landuse activities. Remediation is very expensive and often impractical. Prevention of contamination is therefore critical in effective groundwater management. + protection des niveaux d'eau + protezione delle falde + handhaving van de waterstanden + Wasserstandschutz + + + + + + + catalytic converter + Catalytic converters are designed to clean up the exhaust fumes from petrol-driven vehicles, which are otherwise the major threat to air quality standards in congested urban streets and on motorways. Converters remove carbon monoxide, the unburned hydrocarbons and the oxides of nitrogen. These compounds are damaging to human health and the environment in a variety of ways. The converter is attached to the vehicle' s exhaust near the engine. Exhaust gases pass through the cellular ceramic substrate, a honeycomb-like filter. While compact, the intricate honeycomb structure provides a surface area of 23.000 square metres. This is coated with a thin layer of platinum, palladium and rhodium metals, which act as catalysts that simulate a reaction to changes in the chemical composition of the gases. Platinum and palladium convert hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide and water vapour. Rhodium changes nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons into nitrogen and water, which are harmless. + pot catalytique + marmitta catalitico + katalysator (toestel) + Abgaskatalysator + + + + + + + + + + flood runoff + The total quantity of water flowing from the catchment during the period of the flood. + écoulement des crues + deflusso della piena + afvoer van overgestroomd water + Hochwasserabfluß + + + + + silting up + The filling or partial filling with silt of a reservoir that receives fine-grained sediment brought in by streams and surface runoff. + remplissage de réservoir (barrage) + interrimento di invaso + het vol laten lopen van een spaarbekken + Stauseefüllung + + + + + + hydrometry + The science and technology of measuring specific gravities, particularly of liquids. + hydrométrie + idrometria + hydrometrie + Hydrometrie + + + + + + catastrophe + A sudden, widespread disaster or calamity that greatly exceeds the resources of an area or region. + catastrophe + catastrofe + ramp + Katastrophe + + + + + + + + flood forecast + The hydrological processes generating river floods have been studied extensively and several modelling concepts have been proposed.

Treatment may involve oil separation, precipitation, adsorption, and biological treatment. The refining operations can be divided into four major steps: separation, conversion, treating, and blending. The crude oil is first separated into selected fractions (gasoline, kerosine, fuel oil, etc.). Some of the less valuable products such as heavy naphtha, are converted to products with a greater sale value such as gasoline. The final step is the blending of the refined base stocks with each other and various additive to meet final product specifications. The major pollutants emitted are sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and malodorous materials. + chaîne pétrolière + catena petrolifera + olieproductie + Ölförderung + + + + + + + + hydrocarbon storage tank + A container or a reservoir for the storage of hydrocarbons. + dépôt d'hydrocarbure + deposito di idrocarburi + koolwaterstoftank + Kohlenwasserstofftank + + + + + + + drilling for oil + Boring a hole for extracting oil. + forage pétrolier + perforazione petrolifera + naar olie boren + Ölbohrung + + + + + + + + + + cement manufacture + Cement is produced by heating a mixture of clay or shale plus chalk or lime in a rotary kiln up to 250 m long per 8 m diameter rotating at 1 rpm.

Among them are DDT, aldrin, dieldrin, heptachlor, chlordane, lindane, endrin, mirex, hexachloride, and toxaphene. In insects and other animals these compounds act primarily on the central nervous system. They also become concentrated in the fats of organisms and thus tend to produce fatty infiltration of the heart and fatty degeneration of the liver in vertebrates. In fishes they have the effect of preventing oxygen uptake, causing suffocation. They are also known to slow the rate of photosynthesis in plants. Their danger to the ecosystem resides in their rate stability and the fact that they are broad-spectrum poisons which are very mobile because of their propensity to stick to dust particles and evaporate with water into the atmosphere. + hydrocarbure chloré + idrocarburi clorurati + chloorkoolwaterstoffen + Chlorkohlenwasserstoff + + + + + + approval + approbation + approvazione + goedkeuring + Genehmigung + + + + + chlorination + The application of chlorine to water, sewage or industrial wastes for disinfection or other biological or chemical purposes. + chloration + clorurazione + chlor(er)en + Chlorung + + + + + + cleansing + The act or process of washing, laundering or removing dirt and other unwanted substances from the surface of an object, thing or place. + nettoyage + pulitura + reiniging + Reinigung + + + + + + + + chlorine + A very reactive and highly toxic green, gaseous element, belonging to the halogen family of substances. It is one of the most widespread elements, as it occurs naturally in sea-water, salt lakes and underground deposits, but usually occurs in a safe form as common salt (NaCl). Commercially it is used in large quantities by the chemical industry both as an element to produce chlorinated organic solvents, like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and for the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride plastics, thermoplastic and hypochlorite bleaches. Chlorine was the basis for the organochlorine pesticides, like DDT and other agricultural chemicals that have killed wildlife. The reactivity of chlorine has proved disastrous for the ozone layer and has been the cause of the creation of the ozone hole, which was first detected in the Southern Hemisphere over Antarctica and then over the Northern Hemisphere. + chlore + cloro + chloor + Chlor + + + + + inner city + 1) Part of a city at or near the centre, especially a slum area where poor people live in bad housing. +2) City centres of many industrialized countries which exhibit environmental degradation. The numerous and highly competitive activities entailing land use overwhelm the limited space and create a situation of overcrowding, functional incompatibility and cultural degradation. Inner city areas have a high level of commercial specialization, a large number of offices and a sizeable daytime population. At the same time, city centres generally remain a sort of ghetto for a permanent, low-income population living in run-down housing and enjoying little in the way of public services and civic amenities. The concentration of service industries inevitably entails the replacement of traditional housing and shops by office blocks, the provision of basic utilities at the expense of civic amenities and the provision of major access roads which eat up urban space. Structures of historic origin are often unable to meet modern requirements and, notwithstanding their value, frequently face demolition. + centre ville + area urbana degradata + binnenstad + Innenstadt + + + + + + chloroethylene + A flammable, explosive gas with an ethereal aroma; soluble in alcohol and ether, slightly soluble in water; boils at -14° C; an important monomer for polyvinyl chloride and its copolymers; used in organic synthesis and in adhesives. + chloroéthylène + cloroetilene + chloorethenen + Chlorethylen + + + + + + + sluice-gate + A valve or gate fitted to a sluice to control the rate of flow of water. + porte d'écluse + lente di paratoia piana + sluisdeur + Schleusentor + + + + + + + chlorofluorocarbon + Gases formed of chlorine, fluorine, and carbon whose molecules normally do not react with other substances; they are therefore used as spray can propellants because they do not alter the material being sprayed. + chlorofluorocarbure + clorofluorocarburi + chloorfluorkoolstof + Fluorchlorkohlenwasserstoff + + + + + + + + + noise effect + effet du bruit + effetto del rumore + geluidseffect + Lärmwirkung + + + + + + + + + + CFC and halons prohibition + An interdiction on the manufacture or use of products that discharge chlorofluorocarbons and bromine-containing compounds into the atmosphere, thereby contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer. + interdiction des C.F.C. et haloalcalines + messa al bando dei clorofluorocarburi e degli halons + verbod op CFKs en halons + FCKW-Halon-Verbot + + + + + + + + partially halogenated chlorofluorohydrocarbon + Hydrocarbons whose hydrogen atoms have been partially substituted with chlorine and fluorine.

Many aspects of the Earth's geography affect the climate. Equatorial, or low, latitudes are hotter than the polar latitudes because of the angle at which the rays of sunlight arrive at the Earth's surface. The difference in temperature at the equator and at the poles has an influence on the global circulation of huge masses of air. Cool air at the poles sinks and spreads along the surface of the Earth towards the equator. Cool air forces its way under the lower density warmer air in the lower regions, pushing the lighter air up and toward the poles, where it will cool and descend. + climat + clima + klimaat + Klima + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + pH-value + valeur pH + valore del pH + zuurtegraad + pH-Wert + + + + + climatic effect + Climate has a central influence on many human needs and activities, such as agriculture, housing, human health, water resources, and energy use. The influence of climate on vegetation and soil type is so strong that the earliest climate classification schemes where often based more on these factors than on the meteorological variables. While technology can be used to mitigate the effects of unfavorable climatic conditions, climate fluctuations that result in significant departures from normal cause serious problems for modern industrialized societies as much as for primitive ones. The goals of climatology are to provide a comprehensive description of the Earth's climate, to understand its features in terms of fundamental physical principles, and to develop models of the Earth's climate that will allow the prediction of future changes that may result from natural and human causes. + effet climatique + effetto climatico + de invloed van veranderingen in het klimaat + Klimawirkung + + + + + + + + + + + + + craft industry + industrie manufacturière + industria dell'artigianato + bedrijfstak + Handwerksbetrieb + + + + + animal remain + Any substances or components left over from animal life, including body parts and, later, decomposed materials. + restes d'animaux + resti di animali + dierlijke resten + Tierkadaver + + + + + + climate protection + Precautionary actions, procedures or installations undertaken to prevent or reduce harm from pollution to natural weather conditions or patterns, including the prevailing temperature, atmospheric composition and precipitation. + protection du climat + protezione del clima + klimaatbescherming + Klimaschutz + + + + + + + chart (nautical) + A map for navigation that delineates a portion of the sea, indicating the outline of the coasts and the position of rocks, sandbanks and other parts of a sea. + charte nautique + carta nautica + zeekaart + Seekarte + + + + + climate resource + ressource climatique + risorse climatiche + van het klimaat afhankelijke natuurlijke hulpbronnen + Klimaressourcen + + + + + + nature conservation policy + politique de protection de la nature + politica di conservazione della natura + beleid inzake natuurbehoud + Naturschutzpolitik + + + + + climate type + Weather conditions typical of areas roughly corresponding to lines of latitude. + type de climat + tipo di clima + klimaattype + Klimatyp + + + + + + + + + + + + + climatic alteration + The slow variation of climatic characteristics over time at a given place.

The colour picture formed by this process is called a "colour composite" (a colour image produced through optical combination of multiband images by projection through filters) and is produced by assigning a colour to an image of the Earth's surface recorded in a particular waveband. For a Landsat colour composite, the green waveband is coloured blue, the red waveband is coloured green and the infrared waveband is coloured red. This produces an image closely approximating a false colour photograph. Colour composite images are easier to interpret than separate images recording different wavebands. US national experimental crop inventories are based upon visual interpretation of Landsat colour composites. + composition de couleurs + composizione dei colori + kleursamenstelling + Farbzusammensetzung + + + + + atmospheric correction + The removal from the remotely sensed data of the atmospheric effects caused by the scattering and absorption of sunlight by particles; the removal of these effects improves not only the quality of the observed earth surface imaging but also the accuracy of classification of the ground objects. + correction atmosphérique + correzione atmosferica + atmosferische correctie + Atmosphärische Korrektur + + + + + GIS digital system + An organized collection of computer hardware, software, geographic data, and personnel designed to efficiently capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display all forms of geographically referenced information that can be drawn from different sources, both statistical and mapped. + système numérique SIG + sistema digitale GIS + GIS digitaal systeem + GIS Digitalsystem + + + + + + GIS digital format + The digital form of data collected by remote sensing. + format électronique de données géo-référencées + formato digitale GIS + GIS digitaal formaat + GIS Digitalformat + + + + + vector + One of the two major types of internal data organization used in GIS. Vector systems are based primarily on coordinate geometry and take advantage of the convenient division of spatial data into point, line, and polygon types. Vector structures are especially suited to storing definitions of spatial objects for which sharp boundaries exist or can be imposed. + vecteur + vettore + vector + Vektor + + + + + point + A position on a reference system determined by a survey. + point + punto + punt + Punkt + + + + + + line + Term used in GIS technologies in the vector type of internal data organization: spatial data are divided into point, line and polygon types. In most cases, point entities (nodes) are specified directly as coordinate pairs, with lines (arcs or edges) represented as chains of points. Regions are similarly defined in terms of the lines which form their boundaries. Some vector GIS store information in the form of points, line segments and point pairs; others maintain closed lists of points defining polygon regions. Vector structures are especially suited to storing definitions of spatial objects for which sharp boundaries exist or can be imposed. + ligne + linea + lijn + Linie + + + + + + polygon + In the vector type of GIS internal data organization spatial data are conveniently divided into point, line and polygon types. Some vector GIS store information in the form of points, line segments and point pairs; others maintain close lists of points defining polygon regions. + polygone + poligono + veelhoek + Polygon + + + + + raster + One of the two major types of internal data organization used in GIS. Raster systems superimpose a regular grid over the area of interest and associate each cell-or pixel, to use the image term- with one or more data records. The values associated with each grid cell may represent either real values or any scalar or nominal data values associated with the cell coordinates. Among the strengths of the raster method is its ability to accept data directly from remote sensing systems and to represent transitional information. Raster systems tend to be relatively storage-intensive and this imposes practical limits on the area of coverage, the resolution, or both of these. Capacity constraints are, however, becoming less significant as computer memory and storage become more powerful and as data compression techniques become more readily available. + trame + raster + raster + Raster + + + + + attribute + A distinctive feature of an object. In mapping and GIS applications, the objects are points, lines, or polygons that represent features such as sampling locations, section corners (points); roads and streams (lines); lakes, forest and soil types (polygons). These attributes can be further divided into classes such as tree species Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine) for forest types and paved and gravel for road types. Multiple attributes are generally associated with objects that are located on a single map layer. + attribut + attributo + eigenschap + Eigenschaft + + + + + GIS digital technique + The transformation to digital form of data collected by remote sensing, traditional field and documentary methods and of existing historical data such as paper maps, charts, and publications. + technique digitale SIG + tecnica digitale GIS + GIS digitale techniek + GIS Digitalverfahren + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + interpolation + A process used to estimate an intermediate value of one (dependent) variable which is a function of a second (independent) variable when values of the dependent variable corresponding to several discrete values of the independent variable are known. + interpolation + interpolazione + interpolatie + Interpolation + + + + + gridding + A system of uniformly spaced perpendicular lines and horizontal lines running north and south, and east and west on a map, chart, or aerial photograph; used in locating points. + maillage + grigliatura + raster + Gitternetz + + + + + raster to vector + Methods to convert remotely sensed raster data to vector format.

They provide an inventory on the threat to rare plants and animal species. Information includes status, geographical distribution, population size, habitat and breeding rate. The books also contain the conservation measures, if any, that have been taken to protect the species. There are five categories of rarity status: endangered species; vulnerable organisms, which are those unlikely to adapt to major environmental effects; rare organisms, which are those at risk because there are few of them in the world, such as plants which only grow on mountain peaks or on islands; out of danger species, which were formerly in the above categories, but have had the threat removed because of conservation actions; and indeterminate species, which are the plants and animals probably at risk, although not enough is known about them to assess their status. + liste rouge + lista rossa + rode lijst + Rote Liste + + + + + coagulation + A separation or precipitation from a dispersed state of suspensoid particles resulting from their growth; may result from prolonged heating, addition of an electrolyte, or from a condensation reaction between solute and solvent. + coagulation + coagulazione + stolling + Koagulation + + + + + + coal + The natural, rocklike, brown to black derivative of forest-type plant material, usually accumulated in peat beds and progressively compressed and indurated until it is finally altered in to graphite-like material. + charbon + carbone + steenkool + Kohle + + + + + + + + + + coal-based energy + Power generated by the steam raised by burning coal in fire-tube or water-tube boilers. + énergie à base de charbon + energia da carbone + steenkoolenergie + Energie auf Kohlebasis + + + + + + insulating material + Material that prevents or reduces the transmission of electricity, heat, or sound to or from a body, device or region. + matériau isolant + materiale isolante + isolerend materiaal + Dämmstoff + + + + + + + + decantation + Sizing or classifying particulate matter by suspension in a fluid (liquid or gas), the larger particulates tending to separate by sinking. + décantation + decantazione + klaring van een vloeistof + Dekantieren + + + + + + wood resource + + + + + + + fishing fleet + + + + + coal-fired power plant + Power plant which is fuelled by coal. + centrale à charbon + centrale a carbone + steenkoolcentrale + Kohlekraftwerk + + + + + + + + emission to air + + + + + + air quality impact + + + + + + climate change mitigation + + + + + + + + + climate change adaptation + process of preparing to cope with living in a changing climate + adaptation au changement climatique + processus d'adaptation à la vie dans des conditions de changement climatique + adattamento ai cambiamenti climatici + processo di preparazione inteso ad affrontare la vita in un clima che cambia + aanpassing aan klimaatverandering + het proces waarbij men zich voorbereidt op het leven in veranderende klimaatomstandigheden + Anpassung an den Klimawandel + Vorbereitung auf die Lebensumstände in einem sich verändernden Klima + + + + + + + + + alternative fuel + + + + + + material flow + + + + + + non-mineral waste + + + + + waste prevention + + + + + + + other waste + + + + + above-ground biomass + all living biomass above the soil including stem, stump, branches, bark, seeds and foliage + biomasse aérienne + toute biomasse vivante au-dessus du sol, y compris les tiges, les souches, les +branches, l’écorce, les graines et le feuillage + biomassa aerea + Tutta la biomassa vivente che si trova in superficie, compresi steli, ceppi, rami, cortecce, semi e fogliame + bovengrondse biomassa + de totale hoeveelheid bovengronds organisch materiaal, met inbegrip van stammen, stronken, takken, schors, zaden, naalden en bladeren + oberirdische Biomasse + die gesamte lebende Biomasse oberhalb des Erdbodens einschließlich Stamm, Stumpf, Ästen, Rinde, Samen und Blattwerk + + + + + + + + + + + + above-ground biomass growth + oven-dry weight of net annual increment (s.b) of a tree, stand or forest plus oven-dry weight of annual growth of branches, twigs, foliage, top and stump + + + + + + + + above-ground non-tree biomass + all living matter above-ground excluding trees with trees defined as generally five cm or greater diameter at breast height (4.3 feet above ground) + + + + + + + + + above-ground tree biomass + all living matter composed of trees defined as generally five cm or greater diameter at breast height (4.3 feet above ground) + + + + + + + + + + adaptation strategy + The process of adjustment to actual or expected climate and its effects.

There is now a whole arsenal of chemicals with which to combat agricultural pests and diseases, but this development has itself many drawbacks. Such sophisticated techniques are available only to a minority of farmers; in most parts of the world the standard of crop protection remains abysmally low. In addition, modern crop protection methods have been criticized for relying too heavily on chemical control. Biological controls, both natural and contrived, have been neglected. In some cases involving misuse of agricultural chemicals, crops must be protected from the very measures intended for their protection. Meanwhile previously localized pests and diseases continue to spread worldwide. + protection des cultures + protezione delle colture + gewasbescherming + Pflanzenschutz + + + + + + + + + crop rotation + An agricultural technique in which, season after season, each field is sown with crop plants in a regular rotation, each crop being repeated at intervals of several years. Crop rotation minimizes the risks of depleting the soil of particular nutrients. In rotation systems, a grain crop is often grown the first year, followed by a leafy-vegetable crop in the second year, and a pasture crop in the third. The last usually contains legumes; such plants can restore nitrogen to the soil. Notwithstanding, high yields tend to depend upon the continued addition of chemical fertilizers to the soil. + rotation des cultures + rotazione delle colture + vruchtwisseling + Fruchtfolge + + + + + crop waste + Any unusable portion of plant matter left in a field after harvest. + résidus de cultures + rifiuto dei raccolti + afval van gewassen + Ernteabfall + + + + + + + crossing place + A place, often shown by markings, lights, or poles, where a street, railway, etc. may be crossed. + passage + attraversamento + oversteekplaats + Überquerung + + + + + + + + + crossing place for animals + Bridges and tunnels provided for animals for crossing roads and railways.

It became dispersed all over the world and, with other organochlorines, had a disruptive effect on species high in food chains, especially on the breeding success of certain predatory birds. DDT is very stable, relatively insoluble in water, but highly soluble in fats. Health effects on humans are not clear, but it is less toxic than related compounds. It is poisonous to other vertebrates, especially fish, and is stored in the fatty tissue of animals as sublethal amounts of the less toxic DDE. Because of its effects on wildlife its use in most countries is now forbidden or strictly limited. + DDT + DDT + DDT + DDT + + + + + + + + acceptable risk level + Level of risk judged to be outweighed by corresponding benefits or one that is of such a degree that it is considered to pose minimal potential for adverse effects. + niveau de risque acceptable + livello di rischio accettabile + toelaatbaar risico + Zulässiges Risikoniveau + + + + + + + + + debt + Something owed to someone else. + dette + debiti + schuld + Schuld + + + + + + + debt service + The fees or amount of money necessary to pay interest on an outstanding debt, the principal of maturing serial bonds, and the required contributions to an amortization or sinking fund for term bonds. + service de la dette + restituzione del debito + rentebetaling + Kapitaldienst + + + + + + racking + The mechanical dewatering of a wet solid by pouring off the liquid without disturbing the underlying sediment or precipitate. + décantation + travaso + klaring + Dekantierung + + + + + + decentralisation + Basic organizational leadership concept and process of shifting and delegating power and authority from a higher level to subordinate levels within the administrative/managerial hierarchy in order to promote independence, responsibility, and quicker decision-making in applying or interpreting policies and procedures to the needs of these levels. + décentralisation + decentramento + decentralisatie + Dezentralisierung + + + + + deciduous forest + The temperate forests comprised of trees that seasonally shed their leaves, located in the east of the USA, in Western Europe from the Alps to Scandinavia, and in the eastern Asia.

These activities tend to be counterproductive for several reasons. People may not completely understand the long-term consequences of their activities on the natural resource base. The most important ways in which human activity is interfering with the global ecosystem are: a) fossil fuel burning which may double the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration by the middle of the next century, as well as further increasing the emissions of sulphur and nitrogen very significantly; b) expanding agriculture and forestry and the associated use of fertilizers (nitrogen and phosphorous) are significantly altering the natural circulation of these nutrients; c) increased exploitation of the freshwater system both for irrigation in agriculture and industry and for waste disposal. + dégradation des ressources naturelles + degrado delle risorse naturali + verval van natuurlijke rijkdommen + Abbau von natürlichen Ressourcen + + + + + + + + degradation product + Those chemicals resulting from partial decomposition or chemical breakdown of substances. + produit de dégradation + prodotto di degradazione + afbraakproduct + Abbauprodukt + + + + + + + degreasing + 1) Removing grease from wool with chemicals. +2) Removing grease from hides or skins in tanning by tumbling them in solvents. +3) Removing grease, oil, or fatty material from a metal surface with fumes from a hot solvent. + dégraissage + sgrassaggio + ontvetten + Entfettung + + + + + + + + + de-inking + Series of processes by which various types of printing inks are removed from paper fibre pulp during the pre-processing and recycling of recovered paper products.

The nutrient-rich sediment is deposited by rivers at the point where, or before which, the river flows into the sea. Deltas are formed when rivers supply and deposit sediments more quickly that they can be removed by waves of ocean currents. The importance of deltas was first discovered by prehistoric man, who was attracted to them because of their abundant animal and plant life. Connecting waterways through the deltas later provided natural routes for navigation and trade, and opened up access to the interior. Deltas are highly fertile and often highly populated areas. They would be under serious threat of flooding from any sea-level rise. + delta + delta + delta + Delta + + + + + + demand + The desire, ability and willingness of an individual to purchase a good or service. The consumer must have the funds or the ability to obtain funds in order to convert the desire into demand. The demand of a buyer for a certain good is a schedule of the quantities of that good which the individual would buy at possible alternative prices at a given moment in time. + demande (offre et demande) + domanda + vraag + Nachfrage + + + + + + democracy + A system of governance in which ultimate authority power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their freely elected agents. + démocratie + democrazia + democratie + Demokratie + + + + + demographic development + Growth in the number of individuals of a population. + croissance démographique + sviluppo demografico + demografische ontwikkeling + Demographische Entwicklung + + + + + + + demographic evolution + The gradual pattern of change in the growth of human populations in a particular region or country, from a rapid increase in the birth and death rates to a leveling off in the growth rate due to reduced fertility and other factors. + évolution démographique + evoluzione demografica + demografische evolutie + Demographische Evolution + + + + + + + agricultural legislation + Agricultural law is a blend of traditional fields of law including the law of contracts, bailments, torts, criminal, environmental, property, nuisance, wills and estates, and tax law.

Despite its benefits in increasing yields, mechanisation has clearly had some adverse environmental effects: deep ploughing exposes more soil to wind and water erosion; crop residues can be removed as opposed to ploughing back into the soil; removal of residues can lead to a serious loss of organic content in the soil, which may increase the risk of soil erosion. + machine agricole + macchinario agricolo + landbouwmachine + Landmaschine + + + + + + dendrometry + The measuring of the diameter of standing trees from the ground with a dendrometer that can also be used to measure tree heights. + dendrométrie + dendrometria + dendrometrie + Dendrometrie + + + + + + denitrification + 1) The loss of nitrogen from soil by biological or chemical means. It is a gaseous loss, unrelated to loss by physical processes such as through leachates. +2) The breakdown of nitrates by soil bacteria, resulting in the release of free nitrogen. This process takes place under anaerobic conditions, such as are found in water-logged soil, and it reduces soil fertility. + dénitrification + denitrificazione + denitrificatie + Denitrifikation + + + + + + + + + + denitrification of waste gas + Current methods for controlling NOx emissions in motor vehicles include retardation of spark timing, increasing the air/fuel ratio, injecting water into the cylinders, decreasing the compression ratio, and recirculating exhaust gas. For stationary sources, one abatement method is to use a lower NOx producing fuel or to modify the combustion process by injecting steam into the combustion chamber. + dénitrification des effluents gazeux + abbattimento dei composti di azoto dai gas + denitrificatie van afvalgas + Abgasentstickung + + + + + + + + + + agricultural management + The administration or handling of soil, crops and livestock. + gestion agricole + gestione agricola + landbouwbeheer + Agrarmanagement + + + + + + + + deposited particulate matter + dépôt de particules fines + materiale particolato depositato + neergeslagen deeltje + Abgelagerte Partikel + + + + + deposition + The process by which polluting material is precipitated from the atmosphere and accumulates in ecosystems. + rétombée atmosphérique + deposizione + afzetting + Ablagerung + + + + + + + + + + + + deregulation + The removal or relaxation of government control over the economic activities of some commercial entity, industry or economic sector. + dérégulation + deregolamentazione + deregulering + Deregulation + + + + + dermapteran + dermaptère + dermatteri + dermapterans + Dermaptera + + + + + desalination + Removal of salt, as from water or soil. + déssalement + desalinazione + ontzilting + Entsalzung + + + + + + + + desalination plant + 1) Plants for the extraction of fresh water from saltwater by the removal of salts, usually by distilling. +2) Parts of the world with severe water shortages are looking to desalination plants to solve their problems. Desalination of water is still nearly four times more expensive than obtaining water from conventional sources. However technology is improving and costs are likely to decrease slightly in the future. There is now more interest in building distillation plants beside electric installations so that the waste heat from power generation can be used to drive the desalination process. + usine de déssalement + impianto di desalinazione + ontziltingsinstallatie + Entsalzungsanlage + + + + + + + + + agreement (administrative) + A coming together of minds; a coming together in opinion or determination; the coming together in accord of two minds on a given proposition.

The consent of two or more persons concerning respecting the transmission of some property, right, or benefits, with the view of contracting an obligation, a mutual obligation. The union of two or more minds in a thing done or to be done; a mutual assent to do a thing. + agrément + accordo amministrativo + overeenkomst (administratieve) + Verwaltungsabkommen + + + + + agricultural method + Practices and techniques employed in agriculture to improve yields and productivity. Over the last few decades they have undergone big changes: tilling, sowing and harvesting have become increasingly mechanised, and the methods of applying fertilisers and pesticides have become more sophisticated. Many changes within the agricultural system can be summed up by "intensification". The result and aim of intensification has been to achieve increases in production, yields and labour productivity in agriculture. + méthodes agricoles + metodi agricoli + landbouwmethode + Agrarmethode + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + desert + A wide, open, comparatively barren tract of land with few forms of life and little rainfall. + désert + deserto + woestijn + Wüste + + + + + + desertification + 1) The development of desert conditions as a result of human activity or climatic changes. +2) The process of land damage which allows the soil to spread like a desert in arid and semi-arid regions. There is a loss of vegetative cover and the soil deteriorates in texture, nutrient content and fertility. Desertification affects the lives of three-quarters of the world's population, 70% of all drylands and one quarter of the total land area of the planet. There are many reasons for desertification, but the majority are caused by human activities, overgrazing, deforestation, poor land management and over-exploitation. Agenda 21 states that the priority in combating desertification should be establishing preventive measures for lands that are not yet, or are only slightly, degraded. + désertification + desertificazione + woestijnvorming + Wüstenausbreitung + + + + + + + + + desertification control + Remedial and preventive actions adopted against desertification include irrigation, planting of trees and grasses, the erection of fences to secure sand dunes, and a careful management of water resources. + lutte contre la désertification + controllo della desertificazione + beheersing van de woestijnvorming + Wüstenausbreitungskontrolle + + + + + + + desert locust + criquet pélérin + locusta del deserto + woestijnsprinkhaan + Wüstenheuschrecke + + + + + design (project) + A graphic representation, especially a detailed plan for construction or manufacture. + dessin industriel ou architectural + disegno (progetto) + ontwerp + Gestaltung + + + + + + + + desk study + étude de bureau + studio compilativo + kantoorstudie + Bürostudie + + + + + desorption + The process of removing a sorbed substance by the reverse of adsorption or absorption. + désorption + eluzione + desorptie + Desorption + + + + + + + + agricultural pest + Insects and mites that damage crops, weeds that compete with field crops for nutrients and water, plants that choke irrigation channels or drainage systems, rodents that eat young plants and grain, and birds that eat seedlings or stored foodstuffs. + parasites agricoles + infestante delle colture agricole + landbouwongedierte + Agrarschädling + + + + + + + desulphurisation + The removal of sulphur, as from molten metals or petroleum oil.

It is found in chromosomes and consists of molecules that are long unbranched chains made up of many nucleotides. Each nucleotide is a combination of phosphoric acid, the monosaccharide deoxyribose and one of four nitrogenous bases: thymine, cytosine, adenine or guanine. The number of possible arrangements of nucleotides along the DNA chain is immense. Usually two DNA strands are linked together in parallel by specific base-pairing and are helically coiled. Replication of DNA molecules is accomplished by separation of the two strands, followed by the building up of matching strands by means of base-pairing, using the two halves as templates. By a mechanism involving RNA, the structure of DNA is translated into the structure of proteins during their synthesis from amino acids. + ADN + DNA + DNA + DNA + + + + + + + + document + Material of any kind, regardless of physical form, which furnishes information, evidence or ideas, including items such as contracts, bills of sale, letters, audio and video recordings, and machine readable data files. + document + documento + document + Dokument + + + + + + + + + documentation + The process of accumulating, classifying and disseminating information, often to support the claim or data given in a book or article. + documentation + documentazione + documentatie + Dokumentation + + + + + + + + + + + documentation centre + Centre for assembling, coding, and disseminating recorded knowledge comprehensively treated as an integral procedure, utilizing various techniques for giving documentary information maximum accessibility and usability. + centre de documentation + centro di documentazione + documentatie centrum + Dokumentationszentrum + + + + + + + + document type + Any one of a number of diverse classes of written, printed or digitized items furnishing information or evidence, and distinguished by content, form or function. + type de document + tipo di documento + soort document + Dokumenttyp + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + dog + A common four-legged animal, especially kept by people as a pet or to hunt or guard things. + chien + cane + hond + Hund + + + + + + agricultural waste + Unusable materials, liquid or solid, that result from agricultural practices, such as fertilizers, pesticides, crop residue (such as orchard prunings) and cattle manure. + déchet agricole + rifiuto agricolo + landbouwafval + Landwirtschaftlicher Abfall + + + + + + + + domestic appliance + A machine or device, especially an electrical one used domestically. + appareil électro-ménager + apparecchiatura domestica + huishoudelijk apparaat + Haushaltsgerät + + + + + + + + + + + domesticated animal + 1) Wild animal which has been trained to live near a house and not be frightened of human beings; 2) species which was formerly wild, now selectively bred to fill human needs. + animal domestique (élevage) + animale addomesticato + huisdier + Domestiziertes Tier + + + + + + + + domestic fuel + Fuels obtained from different sources that are used for domestic heating. + fioul domestique + combustibile domestico + huisbrandstof + Haushaltsbrennstoff + + + + + + domestic fuel oil + Liquid petroleum product used in domestic heaters. + mazout de chauffage + gasolio per riscaldamento + huisbrandolie + Heizöl (leicht) + + + + + + + + domestic noise + Noise caused by domestic facilities and activities. + bruit domestique + rumore domestico + huishoudelijk lawaai + Hauslärm + + + + + + access to culture + The ability, right and permission to approach and use, or the general availability of resources that transmit the beliefs, customs, artistic activity and knowledge of a people. + accès à la culture + accesso alla cultura + toegankelijkheid van de cultuur + Zugang zur Kultur + + + + + + + + domestic trade + Trade wholly carried on at home; as distinguished from foreign commerce. + commerce intérieur + commercio interno + binnenlandse handel + Binnenhandel + + + + + + domestic waste + Waste generated by residential households and comprised of any material no longer wanted or needed. + ordures ménagères + rifiuto domestico + huishoudelijk afval + Haushaltsabfall + + + + + + + + + domestic waste landfill + Site for the disposal of wastes arising from domestic activities. + décharge d'ordures ménagères + discarica per rifiuti domestici + huisvuilstortplaats + Hausmülldeponie + + + + + + + + + + domestic waste water + Wastewater principally derived from households, business buildings, institutions, etc., which may or may not contain surface runoff, groundwater or storm water. + eau usée domestique + acqua di rifiuto domestica + huishoudelijk afvalwater + Haushaltsabwasser + + + + + + + + dosage + The amount of a substance required to produce an effect. + dosage + dosaggio + dosering + Dosierung + + + + + dose + The amount of test substance administered.

The treatment to be used depends on the quality of the water abstracted. The Directive uses imperative values for parameters known to have an adverse effect on health and also guide values for those which are less adverse. There is also a directive which complements the "surface water abstraction" Directive by indicating the methods of measurement and the frequency of sampling and analysis required. + traitement de l'eau potable + trattamento dell'acqua potabile + het behandelen van drinkwater + Trinkwasserbehandlung + + + + + + + + + drought + A period of abnormally dry weather sufficiently prolonged so that the lack of water causes a serious hydrologic imbalance (such as crop damage, water supply shortage) in the affected area. + sécheresse + siccità + droogte + Dürre + + + + + + + agriculture framework plan + A formulated or systematic method for the management of soil, crops and livestock. + plan cadre de l'agriculture + piano di inquadramento agricolo + landbouwkundig kaderplan + Landwirtschaftsrahmenplan + + + + + + drought control + Measures taken to prevent, mitigate or eliminate damage caused to the ecosystem, especially crops, by a sustained period of dry weather. + lutte contre la sécheresse + controllo della siccità + droogtebeheer + Dürreschutz + + + + + + drug abuse + toxicomanie + abuso di farmaci + misbruik van geneesmiddelen + Drogenmißbrauch + + + + + drug (medicine) + A chemical substance used internally or externally as a medicine for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment or cure of disease, for the relief of pain or to control or enhance physical or mental well-being. + médicament + farmaco + geneesmiddel + Arzneimittel + + + + + + + + + + dry cleaning + To clean fabrics etc. with a solvent other than water. + nettoyage à sec + pulitura a secco + chemisch reinigen + Chemischreinigung + + + + + + + + dry deposition + The accumulation of both particles and gases as they come into contact with soil, water or vegetation on the earth's surfaces. + retombée sèche + deposizione secca + droge depositie + Trockene Deposition + + + + + + + dry farming + A system of extensive agriculture allowing the production of crops without irrigation in areas of limited rainfall.

Industry was given the option to set up a third party organization which would carry out the collection and sorting of sales packaging for care of manufacturers and retailers. Thus, Some 600 companies created "Duales System Deutschland" in 1990 ("Dual" because it meant creating a second collection system in parallel to the existing waste collection system of the local authorities). Duales System Deutschland (DSD), now has overall responsibility for the separate collection and recycling of packaging. At present, the Dual System is the only nationwide system for the collection and sorting of sales packaging.

The scheme came into operation in late 1992 and was designed to identify products which are less harmful to the environment than equivalent brands. For example, eco-labels will be awarded to products that do not contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which damage ozone layer, to those products that can be, or are, recycled, and to those that are energy efficient. The labels are awarded on environmental criteria set by the EC. These cover the whole life cycle of a product, from the extraction of raw materials, through manufacture, distribution, use and disposal of the product. The first products to carry the EC eco-labels were washing machines, paper towels, writing paper, light bulbs and hairsprays. + CE écolabel + marchio di qualità ecologica della CE + EG-milieukeur(merk) + EU-Umweltzeichen + + + + + + + echinoderm + Marine coelomate animals distinguished from all others by an internal skeleton composed of calcite plates, and a water-vascular system to serve the needs of locomotion, respiration, nutrition or perception. + échinoderme + echinodermi + stekelhuidigen + Stachelhäuter + + + + + AIDS + The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is caused by HIV-virus manifested by opportunistic infections and/or malignancies, and the mortality rate is very high. The syndrome results from a breakdown of the body's disease-fighting mechanism that leaves it defenceless against infections, such as pulmonary tuberculosis, Pneumocystis pneumonia, certain blood infections, candidiasis, invasive cervical cancer, Kaposi's sarcoma or any of over 20 other indicator diseases. No effective treatment is available. A striking feature of AIDS is the wide spectrum and frequency of infections with life-threatening pathogens seldom seen in normal hosts. The illness may begin with insidious signs and symptoms, and the process may be more diffuse than when the same conditions are seen in other immune-compromised patients. Four patterns of disease occur in AIDS patients. The pulmonary pattern, the central nervous system pattern, the gastrointestinal pattern, and the pattern of fever of unknown origin. Most patients who recover from a given opportunistic infection subsequently either have a relapse or develop a new type of infection. Many patients continue to have a wasting syndrome and experience such infections as oral thrush. Feelings of depression and isolation are common among AIDS patients and can be intensified if health care workers display fear of the syndrome. + SIDA + AIDS + AIDS + AIDS + + + + + ecodevelopment + 1) Conservative development based on long term optimization of biosphere resources. +2)An approach to development through rational use of natural resources by means of appropriate technology and system of production which take into account and provide for the conservation of nature. + ecodéveloppement + ecosviluppo + ecologische ontwikkeling + Ökoentwicklung + + + + + + ecolabelling + The European Community's initiative to encourage the promotion of environmentally friendly products. The scheme came into operation in late 1992 and was designed to identify products which are less harmful to the environment than equivalent brands. It was hoped that by buying labelled goods, consumers would be able to put pressure on manufacturers and retailers both to make and to stock "greener" products. This includes the effects they have on the environment at all stages.

Its purpose is to analyze and explain the behaviour of the various economic elements. The body of economic theory can be divided into two broad categories, positive theory and welfare theory. Positive theory is an attempt to analyze the operation of the economy without considering the desirability of its results in terms of ultimate goals. Welfare theory is concerned primarily with an evaluation of the economic system in terms of ethical goals which are not themselves derived from economic analysis. + théorie économique + teoria economica + economische theorie + Wirtschaftstheorie + + + + + + + economic trend + Changes of variables and parameters of an economic system, analysed in statistical calculations. + conjoncture + andamento economico + economische trend + Wirtschaftstendenz + + + + + + + + economic viability + Capability of developing and surviving as a relatively independent social, economic or political unit. + viabilité économique + vitalità economica + economische levensvatbaarheid + Wirtschaftlichkeit + + + + + economic zoning + A land-use planning design or control where specific types of businesses or private sector investment are encouraged within designated boundaries. + zonage économique + zonizzazione economica + industriezone + Wirtschaftszonenaufteilung + + + + + + + economy + The system of activities and administration through which a society uses its resources to produce wealth. + économie + economia + economie + Wirtschaft + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + eco-paediatrics + Branch of medical science concerning the study and the therapy of children diseases caused by environmental factors. + écopédiatrie + ecopediatria + eco-pediatrie + Ökopädiatrie + + + + + + ecophysiology + The study of biophysical, biochemical and physiological processes used by animals to cope with factors of their physical environment, or employed during ecological interactions with other organisms. + écophysiologie + ecofisiologia + eco-fysiologie + Ökophysiologie + + + + + + ecosystem + A community of organisms and their physical environment interacting as an ecological unit. + écosystème + ecosistema + ecosysteem + Ökosystem + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + ecosystem analysis + Detailed study of an ecosystem carried out to ascertain its features from the point of view of its soil composition, energy flux, biogeochemical cycles, biomass, organisms and their relationship with the environment. + analyse de l'écosystème + analisi dell'ecosistema + ecosysteem-analyse + Ökosystemanalyse + + + + + + + + + ecosystem degradation + Degradation or destruction of large natural environments. When one ecosystem is under attack as a result of natural or man-made disaster it is extremely difficult to calculate the ripple effects throughout nature. When two or more ecosystems are being degraded the probabilities of synergistic destructiveness multiply. Ecosystems in many regions are threatened, despite their biological richness and their promise of material benefits. + dégradation de l'écosystème + degrado degli ecosistemi + achteruitgang van het ecosysteem + Ökosystemabbau + + + + + + + + + + + + + ecosystem research + Study of the ways in which plants, animals, and microbes interact with each other and with their physical environment and of the processes involving the circulation, transformation and accumulation of both matter, especially nutrient materials, and energy. + recherche sur les écosystèmes + ricerca sugli ecosistemi + onderzoek aan het ecosysteem + Ökosystemforschung + + + + + + + ecosystem type + Ecosystems can be classified according to various criteria: from the point of view of energy source, two major types of ecosystems can be distinguished. Autotrophic ecosystems have primary producers as a principal component and sunlight has the major initial energy source; etherotrophic ecosystems depend upon preformed organic matter that is imported from autotrophic ecosystems elsewhere. Ecosystems can also be classified in terrestrial, marine and freshwater. + type d'écosystème + tipo di ecosistema + soort ecosysteem + Ökosystemtyp + + + + + + + + + + + + ecotourism + Excursions to relatively untouched lands, which for the tourist promise the chance to observe unusual wildlife and indigenous inhabitants. The travel industry, in an attempt to market adventure and authenticity to those travellers weary of "civilisation" promote travel to environments free of modern technology. Ecotourism's inherent contradiction is the promotion of untouched lands, which immediately become touched by the hands of tourism. + écotourisme + ecoturismo + ecotoerisme + Ökotourismus + + + + + + ecotoxicity + Quality of some substances or preparations which present or may present immediate or delayed risks for one or more sectors of the environment. + écotoxicité + ecotossicità + milieugiftige eigenschappen + Ökotoxizität + + + + + + + ecotoxicological evaluation + Evaluation of the adverse effects of chemicals, physical agents, and natural products on population and communities and plants, animals and human beings. + évaluation écotoxicologique + valutazione ecotossicologica + ecotoxicologische evaluatie + Ökotoxikologische Bewertung + + + + + + + + aircraft + Any structure, machine, or contrivance, especially a vehicle, designed to be supported by the air, either by the dynamic action of the air upon the surfaces of the structure or object or by its own buoyancy. + appareil volant + velivolo + vliegtuig + Luftfahrzeug + + + + + + + ecotoxicology + The science dealing with the adverse effects of chemical, physical agents, and natural products on populations and communities of plants, animals and human beings. + écotoxicologie + ecotossicologia + ecotoxicologie + Ökotoxikologie + + + + + ecotype + Species that has special characteristics which allow it to live in a certain habitat. + écotype + ecotipo + ecotype + Ökotyp + + + + + + + + EC policy + politique communautaire + politica della UE + EG-beleid + EU-Politik + + + + + + + + + + EC regulation + règlement de la CE + disposizioni della CE + EG-verordening + EU-Verordnung + + + + + + + + + + EC regulation on eco-management and audit + règlement (CEE) en matière de management environnemental et d'audit + disposizioni comunitarie sul controllo e la gestione ambientali + EG-verordening betreffende milieubeheer en + EU-Umweltaudit-Verordnung + + + + + + + EC regulation on existing chemicals + Regulation designed to identify and control of risks deriving from existing chemicals.

This is done by first projecting the emission inventory into the future, taking into account changes in population, housing, employment in specific business sectors, and vehicle miles traveled. These data are obtained from various sources and the resulting emissions are adjusted to account for regulations and control measures scheduled for implementation during the same time period. Additional adjustments are made to reflect large facilities that are expected to start up, modify, or shut down. The resulting inventory is an emission forecast, and is usually expressed in tons per day of particular pollutants for a given year. Additional steps may be required to determine how the forecasted quantities of air pollution will affect the overall air quality. One way to accomplish this is through computer modeling. A computer model simulates how pollutants disperse, react, and move in the air. The inputs to such a computer model are complex. They include weather patterns, terrain, and the chemical nature of air pollutants. + prévision d'émission + previsione delle emissioni + emissievoorspelling + Emissionsprognose + + + + + + + + + + + + + + airport + A landing and taking-off area for civil aircraft, usually with surfaced runways and aircraft maintenance and passenger facilities. + aéroport + aeroporto + vliegveld + Flughafen + + + + + + + emission reduction + The act or process of limiting or restricting the discharge of pollutants or contaminants, such as by setting emission limits or by modifying the emission source. + réduction d'émission + riduzione delle emissioni + emissiereductie + Emissionsminderung + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + emission reduction banking + A system for recording qualified air emission reductions for later use in bubble, offset, or netting transactions.

The environmental problems directly related to energy production and consumption include air pollution, water pollution, thermal pollution, and solid waste disposal. The emission of air pollutants from fossil fuel combustion is the major cause of urban air pollution. Diverse water pollution problems are associated with energy usage. One major problem is oil spills. In all petroleum-handling operations, there is a finite probability of spilling oil either on the earth or in a body of water. Coal mining can also pollute water. Changes in groundwater flow produced by mining operations often bring otherwise unpolluted waters into contact with certain mineral materials which are leached from the soil and produce an acid mine drainage. Solid waste is also a by-product of some forms of energy usage. Coal mining requires the removal of large quantities of earth as well as coal. In general, environmental problems increase with energy use and this combined with the limited energy resource base is the crux of the energy crisis. An energy impact assessment should compare these costs with the benefits to be derived from energy use. + impact de l'énergie sur l'environnement + impatto ambientale dell'energia + invloed van energie op het milieu + Energiebedingte Umweltbelastung + + + + + + + environmental impact of fishing + Fishing may have various negative effects on the environment: effluent and waste from fish farms may damage wild fish, seals, and shellfish. Fish farmers use tiny quantities of highly toxic chemicals to kill lice: one overdose could be devastating. So-called by-catches, or the incidental taking of non-commercial species in drift nets, trawling operations and long line fishing is responsible for the death of large marine animals and one factor in the threatened extinction of some species. Some fishing techniques, like the drift nets, yield not only tons of fish but kill millions of birds, whales and seals and catch millions of fish not intended. Small net holes often capture juvenile fish who never have a chance to reproduce. Some forms of equipment destroy natural habitats, for example bottom trawling may destroy natural reefs. Other destructive techniques are illegal dynamite and cyanide fishing. + mpact de la pêche sur l'environnement + impatto ambientale della pesca + invloed van visserij op het milieu + Umweltbelastung durch Fischerei + + + + + + + + environmental impact of forestry + The world's forestry resources are shrinking at an alarming rate. The need for foreign exchange encourages many developing countries to cut timber faster than forests can be regenerated. This overcutting not only depletes the resource that underpins the world timber trade, it causes loss of forest-based livelihoods, increases soil erosion and downstream flooding, and accelerates the loss of species and genetic resources. + impact de la sylviculture sur l'environnement + impatto ambientale delle attività forestali + invloed van bosbouw op het milieu + Umweltbelastung durch Forstwirtschaft + + + + + + + environmental impact of households + Household impacts on the environment include domestic heating emissions (hot air, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapour and oxide of nitrogen, sulphur and other trace gases); domestic sewage consisting of human bodily discharges, water from kitchens, bathrooms and laundries; the dumping of bulky wastes such as old washing machines, refrigerators, cars and other objects that will not fit into the standard dustbin and which are often dumped about the countryside, etc. + impact des ménages sur l'environnement + impatto ambientale delle attività domestiche + invloed van huishoudens op het milieu + Umweltbelastung durch Haushalte + + + + + + environmental impact of industry + The effects on the environment connected with industrial activities are mainly related to the production of industrial wastes that can be divided into various types: solid waste, such as dust particles or slag from coal; liquid wastes from various processes, including radioactive coolants from power stations; and gas wastes, largely produced by the chemical industry. + impact de l'industrie sur l'environnement + impatto ambientale dell'industria + invloed van industrie op het milieu + Umweltbelastung durch Industrie + + + + + + + environmental impact of recreation + Recreation and tourism are often accompanied by extensive damage to the environment. Aquatic ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to the effects of an increased tourist trade and the resultant building of hotel accommodations, sewage disposal works, roads, car parks and landing jetties on banks and coastlines; and the increased angling, swimming, water skiing, shooting or use of motor-boats in the water body. These all produce direct deleterious effects when conducted on a massive scale, including shore damage, chemical changes in the water, and sediments and biological changes in the plant and animal communities. + impact des loisirs sur l'environnement + impatto ambientale delle attività ricreative + invloed van recreatie op het milieu + Umweltbelastung durch Freizeitgestaltung + + + + + + environmental impact of tourism + Extensive damage to the environment caused by recreation and tourism, including despoiling of coastlines by construction of tourist facilities;

With irradiation, foods can be treated after packaging, thus eliminating post-processing contamination. In addition, foods are preserved in a fresh state and can be kept longer without noticeable loss of quality. Food irradiation leaves no residues, and changes in nutritional value due to irradiation are comparable with those produced by other processes. Irradiation is the process of applying high energy to a material, such as food, to sterilize or extend its shelf-life by killing microorganisms, insects and other pests residing on it. Sources of ionizing radiation that have been used include gamma rays, electron beams and X-rays. Gamma rays are produced by radioactive isotopes such as Cobalt-60. Electron beams are produced by linear accelerators, which themselves are powered by electricity. The dose applied to a product is the most important factor of the process. At high doses, food is essentially sterilized, just as occurs in canning. Products so treated can be stored at room temperature almost indefinitely.

Although these practices may lead to a temporary increase in productivity, there are also many indications that in the long run there is usually a decrease in productivity per unit of surface and that erosion and irreversible soil deterioration often accompany this process. Many factors contribute to forest cover destruction: timber production, clearance for agriculture, cutting for firewood and charcoal, fires, droughts, strip mining, pollution, urban development, population pressures, and warfare. + réduction de la surface boisée + distruzione della copertura forestale + ontbossing + Zerstörung der Waldbedeckung + + + + + + + + + forest damage + Reduction of tree population in forests caused by acidic precipitation, forest fires, air pollution, deforestation, pests and diseases of trees, wildlife, etc. + dégâts forestiers + danno forestale + schade aan het bos + Waldschaden + + + + + + + + forest ecosystem + Any forest environment, in which plants and animals interact with the chemical and physical features of the environment, in which they live. + ecosystème forestier + ecosistema forestale + bosecosysteem + Waldökosystem + + + + + + + forest fire + A conflagration in or destroying large wooded areas having a thick growth of trees and plants. + incendie de forêt + incendio di foresta + bosbrand + Waldbrand + + + + + + + + alpha radiation + A stream of alpha particles which are ejected from many radioactive substances having a penetrating power of a few cm in air but can be stopped by a thin piece of paper. + rayonnement alpha + radiazione alfa + alfastraling + Alphastrahlung + + + + + forest industry + A sector of the economy in which an aggregate of establishments is engaged in the management of an extensive area of woodland, often to produce products and benefits such as timber, wildlife habitat, clean water, biodiversity and recreation. + industrie forestière + industria forestale + bosbouw + Forstindustrie + + + + + + + + forest management + Planning of forest utilization for wood production, conservation purposes, fauna and flora protection, recreation and water supply. + gestion forestière + gestione delle foreste + bosbeheer + Forstwirtschaft + + + + + + + + + forest pest + Organisms that damage trees. + déprédateur des forêts + infestazione forestale + voor het bos schadelijke dieren of planten + Forstschädling + + + + + + + forest policy + A course of action adopted and pursued by government or some other organization, which seeks to preserve or protect an extensive area of woodland, often to produce products and benefits such as timber, wildlife habitat, clean water, biodiversity and recreation. + politique forestière + politica forestale + bosbeleid + Forstpolitik + + + + + + + forest production + Forests produce a range of products including firewood and charcoal, lumber, paper, and crops such as coffee, oil palm, and rubber. With careful planning of growth and harvesting, wood and other forest products are, in principle, renewable resources. But achieving renewability takes time - often decades, sometimes centuries. Without careful management, pressure for short-term exploitation can lead to tree removal, soil degradation, and conversion of woodland to other uses.

It is extracted mainly from bauxite by electrolysis of a molten mixture of purified bauxite and cryolite. The metal and its alloys are used for aircraft, cooking utensils, electrical apparatus, and for many other purposes where its light weight is an advantage. Aluminium became implicated as an environmental health hazard in the 1980s on two counts. Biomedical scientists looking for possible causes of Alzheimer's disease, the premature senility indicated by loss of memory and confusion, found a circumstantial link with aluminium. The theory is a controversial one. + aluminium + alluminio + aluminium + Aluminium + + + + + fungicide + Chemicals used to kill or halt the development of fungi that cause plant disease, such as: storage rot; seedling diseases; root rots; vascular wilts; leaf blights, rusts, smuts and mildews, and viral diseases.

The extent to which gas needs to be processed will depend on its quality, the amount of associated impurities such as water, carbon dioxide and sulphur compounds, and the ultimate end-use for the gas. Common gaseous impurities found in natural gas are carbon dioxide and sulphur compounds. Both have an acidic reaction and are given the generic name 'acid gases'. These gases can be removed by a number of commercial processes, using either a physical or a chemical solvent. Physical solvent processes tend to be used where gas pressures are high and for gases with lower levels of propane and heavier hydrocarbons. + traitement des gaz + trattamento dei gas + behandeling van gassen + Gasbehandlung + + + + + + + + + + + gasification + 1) Any chemical or heat process used to convert a substance to a gas. +2) The production of gaseous fuels by reacting hot carbonaceous materials with air, steam or oxygen. The process takes place at high temperature. The gasification product is a mixture of combustible gases and tar compounds, together with particles and water vapour. Depending on the gasification method, the proportion of components varies, but common to all the processes is that the gas has to be purified before it can be used directly in a gas engine or a gas turbine. + gazéification + gassificazione + vergassing + Vergasung + + + + + + + + + gas liquefaction + Conversion of a gas to the liquid phase by cooling or compression. + liquéfaction de gaz + liquefazione del gas + vloeibaar maken van gas + Gasverflüssigung + + + + + + gas mixture + mélange gazeux + miscela gassosa + gasmengsel + Gasgemisch + + + + + + gas network + Interconnected system of pipes for the distribution and supply of gas. + réseau gazier + rete di distribuzione del gas + gasnetwerk + Gasnetz + + + + + + + + + + + gasohol + A mixture of 80% or 90% petrol with 20% or 10% ethyl alcohol, for use as a fuel in internal combustion engines. + gazohol + combustibile petrolio-alcool + alcoholbenzine + Gasohol + + + + + + gasoline engine + An internal combustion engine that uses a mixture of air and gasoline vapour as a fuel. + moteur à essence + motore a benzina + benzinemotor + Ottomotor + + + + + + + + gas pipeline + A long pipe, especially underground, used to transport gas over long distances. + gazoduc + gasdotto + gaspijpleiding + Gasrohrleitung + + + + + + + + gas powered plant + Power station which burns gas, as opposed to a coal-fired station or nuclear power station. + centrale à gaz + centrale a gas + gascentrale + Gaskraftwerk + + + + + + + gas purification + Removal of pollutants or contaminants from waste incineration or other combustion processes. + épuration des gaz + depurazione dei gas + gaszuivering + Gasreinigung + + + + + + + + vapour recovery system + Gas feedback device: while refuelling gasoline vapors are sucked off and led back again into the storage tank. + recirculation des gaz + riconduzione dei gas + hercirculatie van gas + Gasrückführung + + + + + + + gas reservoir + Large tank for storing coal gas or natural gas. + réservoir à gaz + serbatoio di gas + gasreservoir + Gasspeicher + + + + + + + gas supply + The provision and storage of any fuel gas, or the amount of any fuel gas stored, for the use of a municipality, or other fuel gas user. + alimentation en gaz + fornitura di gas + gasvoorziening + Gasversorgung + + + + + + + + + + + accumulation in body tissues + accumulation dans les tissues corporels + accumulo nei tessuti del corpo + weefselophoping + Anreicherung im Körpergewebe + + + + + + alveolus + A tiny, thin-walled, capillary-rich sac in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.

Sometimes known as seed banks or germ plasm banks. their contents mostly originate from a wide range of primitive strains and wild crop varieties. The International Board for Plant Genetic Resources (IBPGR), which was established in 1974, promotes the collection, documentation, evaluation, conservation and eventual use of genetic resources of significant plant species. Gene banks are the subject of international controversy because they contain seeds that have mostly been acquired from the developing countries by the industrially rich countries, where they have been used in breeding programmes to develop new strains. Instead of taking decades over a traditional plant breeding programme by fertilization, it is now possible to manipulate directly the genes of plants, creating genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which are plants modified to give a higher resistance to disease and improved growth and yields and, therefore, increase the profit of the plant breeder and farmer. + banque de gênes + banca di geni + genenbank + Genbank + + + + + + general administrative order + An administrative mandate outlining the process by which a concept, plan, decree or law is to be put into actual practice by a specific organization or government agency. + instruction administrative générale + regolamento di esecuzione + algemene administratieve opdracht + Allgemeine Verwaltungsmaßnahme + + + + + general chemistry + The study of the elements and the compounds they form. + chimie générale + chimica generale + algemene scheikunde + Allgemeine Chemie + + + + + + gene + A unit of heredity composed of DNA occupying a fixed position on a chromosome.

Landfill sites are usually disused quarries and gravel pits. When they were filled, previous practice was to cover them up with soil and forget about them. Housing estates have been built, often with disastrous consequences, on old landfill dumps. Waste burial has now become a serious technology and a potential source of energy. Landfill sites can be designed to be bioreactors, which deliberately produce methane, gas as a source of biofuel or alternative energy. Traditionally, waste tips remained exposed to air and aerobic microbes - those which thrive in air - in order to turn some of the waste into compost. However, open tips also encourage vermin, smell in hot weather and disfigure the landscape. In the 1960s, as a tidier and safer option, landfill operators began to seal each day's waste in a clay cell. While excluding vermin, the clay also excluded air. Decomposition relied on anaerobic microbes, which die in air. However, the process produced methane (natural gas), which was a safety hazard. The methane is now extracted by sinking a network of perforated pipes into the site. + décharge + discarica + afvalstortplaats + Deponie + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + landfill covering + The protective shielding, consisting of soil or some other material, that encloses disposal sites for compacted, non-hazardous solid waste, or secures disposal sites for hazardous waste to minimize the chance of releasing hazardous substances into the environment. + couche de couverture (décharge) + interramento di discarica + afdekking van een afvalstortplaats + Deponieabdeckung + + + + + + landfill degasification + Landfill gas is highly dangerous as methane is highly explosive; therefore it must be controlled at all operational landfill sites, whether by active or passive ventilation or both especially in the case of deep sites.

It consists of a mixture of gases and is colourless with an offensive odour due to the traces of organosulphur compounds. Aside for its unpleasantness, it is highly dangerous as methane is explosive in concentrations in air between 5 per cent, the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL), and the Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) of 15 per cent. Landfill gas must be controlled at all operational landfill sites, whether actively or passively vented or both especially in the case of deep sites. + gaz de décharge + gas di discarica + stortgas + Deponiegas + + + + + + + landfill leachate + Liquid that has seeped through solid waste in a landfill and has extracted soluble dissolved or suspended materials in the process. + lixiviat de décharge + lisciviato di discarica + afvalstortplaatspercolaat + Deponiesickerwasser + + + + + + + + land forming + remodelage de terrain + prosciugamento di terreno + landvorming + Bodengestaltung + + + + + + landform + Any physical, recognizable form or feature of the Earth's surface, having a characteristic shape and produced by natural causes; it includes major forms such as plane, plateau and mountain, and minor forms such as hill, valley, slope, esker, and dune.

This is usually done in inland waters, estuaries or coastal waters. It is estimated that commercial fish farming accounts for more than 10% of the world's fish needs. Fish farming usually concentrates on molluscs, including oysters, mussels and clams, because they are usually immobile and fetch high prices. Shrimps and salmon are also farmed, but the stock have to be caught in the wild first, so that they can be brought up to commercial standards in pens. Aquaculture in not new.

small summit area. Mountains are an important source of water, energy, minerals, forest and agricultural products, and recreation. They are storehouses of biological diversity and endangered species and an essential part of the global ecosystem. About 10% of the world's population depend on mountain resources and nearly half of these people are affected by the degradation of mountain watershed areas. + montagne + montagna + berg + Berg + + + + + + + + + mountain ecosystem + Ecosystems found on high-mountains at low latitudes. Mountain ecosystems are very vulnerable. They are increasingly sensitive to soil erosion, landslide and rapid loss of habitat and genetic diversity. Widespread poverty and an increase in the numbers of mountain inhabitants lead to deforestation, cultivation of marginal lands, excessive livestock grazing, loss of biomass cover and other forms of environmental degradation. Because little is known about mountain ecosystems, Agenda 21 has proposed the establishment of a global mountain database. This is essential for the launch of programmes that would contribute to the sustainable development of mountain ecosystems. The proposals also focus on promoting watershed development and alternative employment for people whose livelihoods are linked to practices that degrade mountains. + écosystème montagnard + ecosistema montano + gebergte-ecosysteem + Gebirgsökosystem + + + + + + mountaineering + escalade + alpinismo + bergsport + Bergsteigen + + + + + mountainous area + Area characterized by conspicuous peaks, ridges, or mountain ranges. + zone de montagne + area montuosa + berggebied + Bergland + + + + + + + + + + + mountain range + A single, large mass consisting of a succession of mountains or narrowly spaced mountain ridges, with or without peaks, closely related in position, direction, formation, and age. + massif montagneux + catena montuosa + bergketen + Gebirge + + + + + + Arctic ecosystem + écosystème arctique + ecosistema artico + Arctisch ecosysteem + Ökosystem der Arktis + + + + + + + mowing + The cutting down of grass, crops or grain with a scythe or a mechanical device. + fauchage + mietitura + maaien + Mahd + + + + + mud flat + A relatively level area of fine silt along a shore (as in a sheltered estuary) or around an island, alternately covered and uncovered by the tide, or covered by shallow water. + vasière + terreno inondabile dall'alta marea + (slik)wad + Schlickwatt + + + + + + mud (sediment) + A mixture of clay and/or silt with water to form a plastic mass with a particle size preponderantly below 0.06 mm diameter.

There is also concern that an uncontrolled genetic mutation could produce from such an engineered microorganism, a form with hazardous consequences for the environment. + dissémination de micro-organismes mutés + rilascio di microorganismi mutati + afgifte gemuteerde micro-organismen + Freisetzung von mutierten Mikroorganismen + + + + + + + + + mutation + A change in the chemical constitution of the DNA in the chromosomes of an organism: the changes are normally restricted to individual genes, but occasionally involve serious alteration to whole chromosomes. When a mutation occurs in gametes or gametocytes an inherited change may be produced in the characteristics of the organisms that develop from them. Mutation is one of the ways in which genetic variation is produced in organisms. A somatic mutation is one that occurs to a body cell, and is consequently past on to all the cells derived from it by mitosis. Natural mutations, at this stage of biological evolution, when they occur in the cells of higher animals, almost always produce deleterious characteristics. Both natural and artificial mutations can be brought about by ionizing radiation (hence the genetic and carcinogenic dangers of nuclear weapons) and by certain chemical substances called mutagens. + mutation + mutazione + mutatie + Mutation + + + + + + + + mycology + The branch of botany concerned with the study of fungi. + mycologie + micologia + mycologie + Mykologie + + + + + + mycorrhiza + The symbiotic association of the root of a higher plant with a fungus.

They differ from national park, which are largely a place for public recreation, because they are provided exclusively to protect species for their own sake. Endangered species are increasingly being kept in nature reserves to prevent them from extinction, particularly in India, Indonesia and some African countries. Natural reserves were used once to preserve the animals that landowners hunted, but, in the 19th century, they became places where animals were kept to prevent them from dying out. Special refuges and sanctuaries are also often designated to protect certain species or groups of wild animals or plants, especially if their numbers and distribution have been significantly reduced. They also serve as a place for more plentiful species to rest, breed or winter. Many parts of the world also have marine and aquatic reserves to protect different species of sea or freshwater plant and animal life. + réserve naturelle + riserva naturale + natuurreservaat + Naturschutzgebiet + + + + + + + + + + nausea + nausée + nausea + misselijkheid + Übelkeit + + + + + + navigational hazard + Any obstacle encountered by a vessel in route posing risk or danger to the vessel, its contents or the environment. + dangers de navigation + pericolo per la navigazione + navigatiegevaar + Navigationsgefahr + + + + + + + + necrosis + The pathologic death of living tissue in a plant or animal. + nécrose + necrosi + afsterving + Nekrose + + + + + need + The fact or an instance of feeling the lack of something. + besoin + necessità + behoefte + Bedarf + + + + + + + neighbourhood improvement scheme + plan d'amélioration du voisinage + programma di miglioramento di quartiere + buurtverbeteringsplan + Stadtteilentwicklungsprogramm + + + + + + + armament + The weapons, ammunition and equipment, or the total force held by a military unit or state. + armement + armamento + wapens + Bewaffnung + + + + + + + nematode + A group of unsegmented worms which have been variously recognized as an order, class, and phylum. + nématodes + nematodi + aaltjes + Nematoden + + + + + nervous system + A coordinating and integrating system which functions in the adaptation of an organism to its environment; in vertebrates, the system consists of the brain, brainstem, spinal cord, cranial and peripheral nerves, and ganglia. + système nerveux + sistema nervoso + zenuwstelsel + Nervensystem + + + + + + armament conversion + Change in character, form or function of the arms and equipment with which a military unit is supplied. + conversion de l'armement + conversione degli armamenti + wapenomschakeling + Rüstungskonversion + + + + + + + + net resource depletion + The total decrease in the amount of natural materials available for use by humans and other living beings. + appauvrissement direct des ressources + riduzione netta delle risorse + netto grondstofvermindering + Direkter Ressourcenabbau + + + + + + netting policy (emissions trading) + All emission sources in the same area that are owned or controlled by a single company are treated as one large source, thereby allowing flexibility in controlling individual sources in order to meet a single emissions standard. + règle de compensation àl'intérieur d'un groupe (permis d'émissions) + politica di rete (commercio delle emissioni industriali) + netting-beleid + Netting Policy + + + + + + + + neurotoxicity + The occurrence of adverse effects on a nervous system following exposure to a chemical. + neurotoxicité + neurotossicità + neurotoxiciteit + Neurotoxizität + + + + + + neutralisation + To make a solution neutral by adding a base to an acidic solution, or an acid to a basic solution. + neutralisation + neutralizzazione + neutraliseren + Neutralisierung + + + + + + armed forces + The military units of a state, typically divided by their differing contexts of operations, such as the army, navy, air force and marines. + forces armées + forze armate + strijdkrachten + Militär + + + + + + + + new community + A sociopolitical, religious, occupational or other group of common characteristics and interests formed as an alternative to social, and often residential, options currently available. + nouvelle communauté + nuova comunità + nieuwe gemeenschap + Neue Gemeinschaft + + + + + new installation + A device, system, or piece of equipment that has been recently installed. + nouvelle installation + nuova installazione + nieuwe installatie + Neuanlage + + + + + + new material + Novel high-performance materials obtained through the interdisciplinary research of chemistry, applied chemistry, chemical engineering, and mechanical engineering. + matériau nouveau + materiale innovativo + nieuw materiaal + Neuartige Materialien + + + + + new technology + Electronic instruments and devices which have recently been developed and are been introduced into industry.

Excess nitrate can be leached into surface waters and groundwaters, causing pollution. Excess nitrate may also be converted by microbes back into gaseous nitrogen, which is an important greenhouse gas, and released back into the atmosphere. The ultimate source of nitrogen in the ecosystem is the molecular nitrogen in the atmosphere. To a very limited extent, some dissolves in water. However, none is found in rock. + nitrification + nitrificazione + nitrificatie + Nitrifikation + + + + + + + + aromatic compound + Compounds characterized by the presence of at least one benzene ring. + composé aromatique + composto aromatico + aromatische verbindingen + Verbindung (aromatisch) + + + + + + nitrite + A salt or ester of nitric acid, included in compounds such as potassium nitrite, sodium nitrite and butyl nitrite. + nitrite + nitrito + nitrieten + Nitrit + + + + + nitro compound + Any one of a class of usually organic compounds that contain the monovalent group, -NO2 (nitro group or radical) linked to a carbon atom. + composé nitré + nitrocomposti + stikstofverbinding + Stickstoffverbindung + + + + + + nitrogen + An essential nutrient in the food supply of plants and the diets of animals. Animals obtain it in nitrogen-containing compounds, particularly amino acids. Although the atmosphere is nearly 80% gaseous nitrogen, very few organisms have the ability to use it in this form. The higher plants normally obtain it from the soil after micro-organisms have converted the nitrogen into ammonia or nitrates, which they can then absorb. + azote + azoto + stikstof + Stickstoff + + + + + + + + + + nitrogen cycle + The complex set of processes by which crops acquire the large amount of nitrogen they need to make proteins, nucleic acids and other biochemicals of which they are composed, and how the nitrogen returns to the atmosphere. + cycle de l'azote + ciclo dell'azoto + stikstofkringloop + Stickstoffkreislauf + + + + + nitrogen dioxide + A reddish-brown gas; it exists in varying degrees of concentration in equilibrium with other nitrogen oxides; used to produce nitric acid. + dioxyde d'azote + diossido di azoto + stikstofdioxide + Stickstoffdioxid + + + + + + nitrogen fixation + Assimilation of atmospheric nitrogen by a variety of microorganisms which live freely in soil. Once the nitrogen has been captured by one of the microorganisms, there are many different routes by which it is handled. Some is retained in the soil as decomposing plant matter, waiting to be released and taken up by new crops as a nitrate. That nitrate is produced by nitrifying bacteria living in the soil that thrive on ammonia, which is produced by decaying plant and animal material. In processing nitrogen the nitrifying bacteria produce nitrate that can be absorbed by the roots of plants. + fixation de l'azote + fissazione dell'azoto + stikstofbinding + Stickstoffixierung + + + + + + + + + nitrogen monoxide + A colourless gas, soluble in water, ethanol and ether. It is formed in many reactions involving the reduction of nitric acid, but more convenient reactions for the preparation of reasonably pure NO are reactions of sodium nitrite, sulphuric acid, etc. + monoxyde d'azote + monossido di azoto + stikstofmonoxide + Stickstoffmonoxid + + + + + + nitrogen oxides + Oxides formed and released in all common types of combustion; they are formed by the oxidation of atmospheric nitrogen at high temperatures. Introduced into the atmosphere from car exhausts, furnace stacks, incinerators, power stations and similar sources, the oxides include nitrous oxide, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen pentoxide and nitric acid. The oxides of nitrogen undergo many reactions in the atmosphere to form photochemical smog. + oxydes d'azote + ossidi di azoto + stikstofoxiden + Stickstoffoxide + + + + + + + + + + nitrosamine + Any one of a class of neutral, usually yellow oily compounds containing the divalent group = NNO. + nitrosamine + nitrosammine + nitrosamine + Nitrosamin + + + + + aromatic hydrocarbon + Hydrocarbons having an unsaturated ring containing alternating double and single bonds, especially containing a benzene ring. + hydrocarbure aromatique + idrocarburi aromatici + aromatische koolwaterstoffen + aromatischer Kohlenwasserstoff + + + + + + NOEL + Acronym for No Observed Effects Level. + dose maximale admissible + NOEL + NOEL + NOEL + + + + + + + + + + + noise + Sound which is unwanted, either because of its effects on humans, its effect on fatigue or malfunction of physical equipment, or its interference with the perception or detection of other sounds. + bruit + rumore + geluid + Lärm + + + + + + + + + + noise abatement + Measures to reduce noise at the source, to encourage quieter technologies or equipment or to prevent or reduce the propagation of sound.

Herding survives as a way of life around the Sahara, in the Middle East, in Asia as far east as western India, and in the Asian parts of the USSR. The end of pastoral nomadism would be regrettable not merely on account of the independence and distinctiveness of this way of life but because this type of economy may be a more rational means of raising large numbers of animals under arid conditions than is capital-intensive ranching. + nomade + nomade + nomade + Nomade + + + + + nomenclature + A system of names or terms, particularly those related to a specific area of science or art, or the assignment of names to things. + nomenclature + nomenclatura + nomenclatuur + Nomenklatur + + + + + non-biodegradable pollutant + An organic compound, usually synthetic, that is not decomposed or mineralized by microorganisms or other biological processes. + polluant non biodégradable + inquinante non biodegradabile + niet biologisch afbreekbare verontreinigende stof + Biologisch nicht abbaubarer Schadstoff + + + + + + + non-built-up area + Areas which are not intensely developed for housing, commerce, industry, etc. + zone peu construite + zona non edificata + onbebouwd gebied + Nicht bebaute Fläche + + + + + + + + + + + + + non-conventional energy + Energy that is renewable and ecologically safe, such as tidal power, wind power, etc. + énergie non-conventionnelle + energia non convenzionale + niet-conventionele energie + Nicht konventionelle Energie + + + + + + + + + + + + + non-ferrous metal industry + Industry that deals with the processing of metals other than iron and iron-base alloys. + industrie des métaux non ferreux + industria dei metalli non ferrosi + non-ferro metaalnijverheid + NE-Metallindustrie + + + + + + arsenic + A toxic metalloid element, existing in several allotropic forms, that occurs principally in realgar and orpiment and as the free element.

Novel foods, including those altered using biotechnology, should not differ 'significantly' from the foods they are to replace. Labels should not be misleading, but must make clear any differences between the novel food and its 'conventional' alternative, and must say how that difference was achieved. Foods containing a genetically modified living organism, such as a live yogurt made with an altered culture, would always be labelled. Any food whose modification might raise moral or health worries to consumers would also have to carry a label. This would include genes from an animal considered unclean by some religions, or from a plant that might cause allergic reactions. However, foods which, although made using novel methods, are identical to conventional foods, would not have to be labelled. + aliment nouveau + alimento modificato geneticamente + nieuw voedingsmiddel + Novel Food + + + + + + nuclear accident + An event occurring in a nuclear power plant or anywhere that radioactive materials are used, stored, or transported and involving the release of potentially dangerous levels of radioactive materials into the environment. + accident nucléaire + incidente nucleare + kernongeval + Kerntechnischer Unfall + + + + + + + + + + arthropod + The largest phylum in the animal kingdom; adults typically have segmented body, a sclerotized integument, and many-jointed segmental limbs. + arthropodes + artropodi + geleedpotigen + Arthropoden + + + + + + + + nuclear energy + Energy released by nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. + énergie nucléaire + energia nucleare + kernenergie + Kernenergie + + + + + + + nuclear energy legislation + législation en matière d'énergie nucléaire + legislazione sull'energia nucleare + wetgeving inzake kernenergie + Kernenergierecht + + + + + + + nuclear energy use + Nuclear energy is employed in the industrial sector, in the production of other energy types, in the medical and scientific research field, in transportation, in the production of nuclear weapons, etc. + usage de l'énergie nucléaire + uso dell'energia nucleare + kernenergiegebruik + Kernenergienutzung + + + + + + nuclear explosion (accident) + An unintentional release of energy from a rapid reaction of atomic nuclei yielding high temperatures and radiation potentially harmful to human health and the environment. + explosion nucléaire (accident) + esplosione nucleare (incidente) + kernontploffing (ongeval) + Kernexplosion (Unfall) + + + + + + + Articulata + Animals characterized by the repetition of similar segments (metameres), exhibited especially by arthropods, annelids, and vertebrates in early embryonic stages and in certain specialized adult structures. + articulata + articolati + Articulata + Gliedertier + + + + + + + nuclear facility + A place, including buildings, where all the activities relating to nuclear research are performed. + installation nucléaire + struttura nucleare + nucleaire installatie + Kerntechnische Anlage + + + + + + + nuclear fission + The division of an atomic nucleus into parts of comparable mass; usually restricted to heavier nuclei such as isotopes of uranium, plutonium, and thorium. + fission nucléaire + fissione nucleare + kernsplitsing + Kernspaltung + + + + + + nuclear fuel + Nuclear fuels are obtained from inorganic minerals extracted by mining. Although they are at least partially consumed when used in nuclear reactors for the production of heat, they differ from fossil fuels in the way they release energy. Burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and gas, is a chemical reaction. Nuclear fuels, such as uranium, are destroyed by a process of spontaneous disintegration, called fission, and prompted by natural radioactivity. If the process is left to occur naturally in uranium-bearing rock, the rate of change is imperceptibly small. In a man-made nuclear reactor the energy-releasing processes of disintegration, which in the natural state happen slowly over thousands of millions of years, are compressed into minutes. The release of energy is harnessed to generate steam which drives electricity generators. + combustible nucléaire + combustibile nucleare + kernbrandstof + Kernbrennstoff + + + + + + + + + + nuclear fuel element + A piece of nuclear fuel which has been formed and coated, and is ready to be placed in a reactor fuel assembly. + élément de combustible nucléaire + barre di combustibile nucleare + splijtstofelement + Brennelement + + + + + + + + nuclear fusion + Combination of two light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus with release of some binding energy. + fusion nucléaire + fusione nucleare + kernfusie + Kernfusion + + + + + + nuclear physics + The study of the characteristics, behaviour and internal structures of the atomic nucleus. + physique nucléaire + fisica nucleare + kernfysica + Kernphysik + + + + + + + + nuclear debate + The ongoing, public discussion and dispute over the uses of energy. + débat sur le nucléaire + dibattito sul nucleare + overleg over kernenergie + Atomdebatte + + + + + + + + nuclear power plant + A power plant in which nuclear energy is converted into heat for use in producing steam for turbines, which in turn drive generators that produce electric power. + centrale nucléaire + centrale nucleare + kerncentrale + Kernkraftwerk + + + + + + + + + nuclear power plant disposal + démantèlement de centrale nucléaire + smantellamento di una centrale nucleare + opbergen kernafval + Kernkraftwerksentsorgung + + + + + + + + nuclear reaction + A reaction involving a change in an atomic nucleus, such as fission, fusion, neutron capture, or radioactive decay, as distinct from a chemical reaction, which is limited to changes in the electron structure surrounding the nucleus. + réaction nucléaire + reazione nucleare + kernreactie + Kernreaktion + + + + + + + + + + + nuclear reactor + Device which creates heat and energy by starting and controlling atomic fission. + réacteur nucléaire + reattore nucleare + kernreactor + Kernreaktor + + + + + + + + + + + + nuclear research centre + A facility in which scientists and other researchers study the behavior and characteristics of atomic nuclei through testing and other forms of experimentation, often to invent new technology with scientific, medical and industrial purposes. + centre de recherche nucléaire + centro di ricerca nucleare + nucleair onderzoekscentrum + Kernforschungszentrum + + + + + + + nuclear safety + Measures and techniques implemented to reduce the possibility of incidence and the potential harm posed by radioactive substances used as an energy source, a test material or in weaponry. + sécurité nucléaire + sicurezza nucleare + nucleaire veiligheid + Nukleare Sicherheit + + + + + + + + nuclear test + Test performed to evaluate nuclear weapons. + essai nucléaire + test nucleare + kernproef + Kernwaffenversuch + + + + + + + + nuclear weapon + Any bomb, warhead, or projectile using active nuclear material to cause a chain reaction upon detonation. + arme nucléaire + arma nucleare + kernwapen + Kernwaffen + + + + + + + nucleic acid + Any of several organic acids combined with proteins (DNA or RNA) which exist in the nucleus and protoplasm of all cells. + acide nucléïque + acidi nucleici + nucleïnezuur + Nukleinsäure + + + + + + + nuisance + Anything that affects or prejudices health. + nuisance + disturbo + hinder + Belästigung + + + + + nursery (plant breeding) + Place where plants are grown until they are large enough to be planted in their final positions. + pépinière + coltura in vivaio + (planten)kwekerij + Pflanzenzuchtbetrieb + + + + + nutrient medium + A medium providing or contributing to nourishment. + milieu de culture (microbiologie) + mezzo nutritivo + voedingsbodem + Nährmedium + + + + + + + + nutrient balance + Condition in which there is equilibrium between intake and excretion of nutrients. + bilan nutritif + bilancio dei nutrienti + voedingsbalans + Nährstoffhaushalt + + + + + nutrient content + The amount of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, inorganic salts (e.g. nitrates, phosphates), minerals (e.g. calcium, iron), and water. + teneur en nutriments + contenuto in nutrienti + voedingswaarde + Nährstoffgehalt + + + + + + + + nutrient cycle + A biogeochemical cycle, in which inorganic nutrients move through the soil, living organisms, air and water or through some of these. + cycle des substances nutritives + ciclo dei nutrienti + nutriëntenkringloop + Nährstoffzyklus + + + + + nutrient removal + Elimination of nutrients as, for example, from sewage in order to prevent eutrophication of water in reservoirs. + extraction des nutriments + rimozione dei nutrienti + onttrekking van voedingsstoffen + Nährstoffelimination + + + + + + nutrient + Chemical elements which are involved in the construction of living tissue and which are needed by both plant and animal.

Fresh oil cargo is loaded on top of the final residue left after further discharges of water, the resulting mixture being acceptable to refineries despite some additional cost in removing the salt and water. Under the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, all oil-carrying ships will be required to be capable of operating with this method of retention, or alternatively to discharge to reception facilities. Another method consists in spraying on the oil dispersives and/or blasting straw and sawdust, functioning as "blotting paper", onto water, beaches, rocks and docks. The Vikoma System for the containment of oil spills at sea, developed by British Petroleum, a seaboom of about 500 metres in length, is inflated and towed downwind of the oil slick and formed into a U-shape; under the influence of wind, the oil becomes trapped within the boom. Skimming equipment travels into the boom enclosure and the oil is pumped into containers. + réduction de la pollution par le pétrole + abbattimento dell'inquinamento da petrolio + vermindering van olievervuiling + Ölpestbekämpfung + + + + + + + + oil recovery vessel + Boats used for recovering oil spilled at sea from oil tankers. The recommended procedure is to contain and physically recover the spill with or without the use of adsorbents. This approach entails three processes: a) confinement of the spill by spill booms; b) recovery of the spill by sorbing agents; c) physical removal of the contained oil by oil pick-up devices. + navire dépollueur + nave per il ricupero del petrolio sversato + (olie)opruimingsschip + Ölauffangschiff + + + + + + + + + + oil refinery + System of process units used to convert crude petroleum into fuels, lubricants, and other petroleum-derived products. + raffinerie de pétrole + raffineria di petrolio + olieraffinaderij + Ölraffinerie + + + + + + + + + oil refining + The separation of petroleum mixtures into their component parts. + raffinage de pétrole + raffinazione del petrolio + olieraffinage + Erdölraffination + + + + + oil residue recuperation + The recovery of oil that is leftover or left behind, usually following the primary containment operations for an oil spill. + récupération des résidus de pétrole + recupero dei residui del petrolio + terugwinning van olieresten + Ölrückstandswiederaufarbeitung + + + + + + + + + + oil shale + A kerogen-bearing, finely laminated brown or black sedimentary rock that will yield liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons on distillation. + schiste bitumineux + argillite petrolifera + olie in kleilagen + Ölschiefer + + + + + + + oil slick + The mass of oil that floats on a surface of water, which is discharged accidentally, naturally or by design, and can be moved by currents, tides and the wind. + nappe de pétrole + chiazza di petrolio + drijvende olielaag + Ölteppich + + + + + + + + oil spill + The accidental release of oil, or other petroleum products usually into freshwater or marine ecosystems, and usually in large quantities.

The most common end use for landfills is open spaces with no active recreation taking place over the completed landfill. The obvious reason for this use is that the completed surface is steeply sloped to provide rapid runoff. Also, no irrigation of the cover grasses should be allowed. It is very unlikely to think that commercial or industrial buildings will be constructed on a completed landfill. If the end use is such that the public will be walking on the site, it is important that all manholes be properly secured, leachate lagoons fenced, and other potential hazards eliminated. + dépôt ancien + vecchia discarica + oude afzetting + Altablagerung + + + + + + + + + polluted site + Any place that has been made unclean or unsafe by the discharge of high concentrations of hazardous or detrimental substances into its water, soil or atmosphere. + site pollué + sito inquinato + verontreinigde plaats + Verunreinigter Standort + + + + + + + + + antiquated plant + Old installation that do not respond to new rules for the prevention of environmental pollution and whose redevelopment requires investments for adopting technologies related to the protection of waterways, waste management, noise reduction and emission control. + installation ancienne + vecchio impianto + oude installatie + Altanlage + + + + + + olfactory pollution + Pollution produced by gaseous emissions in the atmosphere that, even in very small amounts, may cause injuries or a condition of general unease or sickness to persons living in the vicinity. + pollution olfactive + inquinamento olfattivo + geurvervuiling + Geruchsbelastung + + + + + + olfactometry + The testing and measurement of the sensitivity of the sense of smell. + olfactométrie + olfattometria + olfactometrie + Olfaktometrie + + + + + onchocerciasis + Infection with the filaria Onchocerca volvulus; results in skin tumours, papular dermatitis, and ocular complications. + onchocercose + oncocercosi + onchocerciasis + Onchozerkiasis + + + + + artificial satellite + Any man-made object placed in a near-periodic orbit in which it moves mainly under the gravitational influence of one celestial body, such as the earth, sun, another planet, or a planet's moon. + satellite + satellite artificiale + kunstmaan + Künstlicher Satellit + + + + + + + + + + oncology + The study of the causes, development, characteristics, and treatment of tumors. + oncologie + oncologia + oncologie + Onkologie + + + + + + opencast mining + Extracting metal ores and minerals that lie near the surface by removing the overlying material and breaking and loading the ore. + exploitation à ciel ouvert + attività mineraria a cielo aperto + dagbouw + Tagebau + + + + + + + open sea fishing + Fishing in the deepest parts of the sea. + pêche en haute mer + pesca d'altura + zeevisserij + Hochseefischerei + + + + + operating data + Data referring to the practical carrying-out of a process. + données d'exploitation + dati operativi + besturingsgegevens + Betriebsdaten + + + + + + opinion + Judgement or belief not founded on certainty or proof. + opinion + opinione + mening + Meinung + + + + + + + + + + + installation optimisation + Adjustments made to a building or to a mechanical or electrical system or apparatus in order to maximize its functionality and efficiency. + optimisation des installations + ottimizzazione delle installazioni + optimalisering van installaties + Anlagenoptimierung + + + + + + + + ore + A mineral or mineral aggregate, more or less mixed with gangue, that can be worked and treated at a profit. + minerai + minerale metallifero + erts + Erz + + + + + + + + organ + A fully differentiated structural and functional unit, such as a kidney or a root, in an animal or plant. + organe + organo + orgaan + Organ + + + + + + + + organic carbon + Carbon which comes from an animal or plant. + carbone organique + carbonio organico + organisch gebonden koolstof + Organischer Kohlenstoff + + + + + + + + + organic chemistry + A branch of chemistry dealing with the study of composition, reaction, properties, etc. of organic compounds. + chimie organique + chimica organica + organische scheikunde + Organische Chemie + + + + + + organic farming + Farming without the use of industrially made fertilizers or pesticides. + agriculture biologique + coltura biologica + biologische landbouw + Biologischer Landbau + + + + + acoustic property + The characteristics found within a structure that determine the quality of sound in its relevance to hearing. + propriété acoustique + proprietà acustiche + geluidseigenschap + Akustische Kenngröße + + + + + + + organic pollutant + A plant- or animal-produced pollutant containing mainly carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. + polluant organique + inquinante organico + organische vervuilende stof + Organischer Schadstoff + + + + + + + + + asbestos + Generic name for a group of fibrous mineral silicates. It includes blue asbestos (crocidolite), white asbestos (chrysotile) and brown asbestos (amosite). After they are mined the asbestos fibres are separated from the rock and are spun into a cloth. When inhaled the fibres penetrate the lungs and the tissues of the bronchial tubes, resulting in asbestosis, a crippling lung disease. Asbestos also causes cancer of the lung and the gastro-intestinal tract, and mesothelioma, a malignant cancer of the inner lining of the chest. However, because it is a poor conductor of electricity and highly resistant to heat it has been widely used over the years in fire-fighting suits, and building and insulating materials. The fibrous form of several silicate minerals, at one time widely used for electrical and thermal insulation; the use of all forms of asbestos is now either banned or strictly controlled in many countries since it causes cancer. + amiante + amianto + asbest + Asbest + + + + + + + + + + organic solvent + Organic materials, including diluents and thinners, which are liquids at standard conditions and which are used as dissolvers, viscosity reducers, or cleaning agents. + solvant organique + solvente organico + organisch oplosmiddel + Organisches Lösungsmittel + + + + + + organic substance + Chemical compounds, based on carbon chains or rings and also containing hydrogen with or without oxygen, nitrogen, or other elements. + substance organique + sostanze organiche + organische stoffen + Organische Stoffe + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + organic waste + Waste containing carbon compounds; derived from animal and plant materials. + déchet organique + rifiuto organico + organisch afval + Organischer Abfall + + + + + + + + organism + An individual constituted to carry out all life functions. + organisme + organismi (tassonomia) + organismen (taxonomie) + Organismen + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + organochlorine compound + Organic compounds containing a C-Cl bond. + composé organochloré + composto organoclorurato + organische chloorverbinding + Organische Chlorverbindungen + + + + + + organohalogen compound + Organic compounds containing a C-halogen bond. + composé organohalogèné + composti alogenati organici + organische halogeenverbinding + Organische Halogenverbindungen + + + + + + + + organometallic compound + Molecules containing carbon-metal linkage; a compound containing an alkyl or aryl radical bonded to a metal. + composé organométallique + composti metallorganici + organische metaalverbinding + Metallorganische Verbindung + + + + + + + + organonitrogen compound + Organic compounds having a C-N bond. + composé organique azoté + composti organici azotati + organische stikstofverbinding + Organische Stickstoffverbindung + + + + + + + + + + organooxygen compound + Compounds, both aliphatic and aromatic, which have a C-O bond, including alcohols, aldehydes, etc. + composé organique oxygéné + composti organici ossigenati + organische zuurstofverbinding + Organische Sauerstoffverbindungen + + + + + + + + + + organophosphorous compound + Pesticides that contain phosphorous; short-lived, but some can be toxic when first applied. + composé organophosphoré + composti fosforo-organici + organische fosforverbinding + Organische Phosphorverbindungen + + + + + organosilicon compound + Any natural substance composed of two or more unlike atoms held together by chemical bonds and containing silicon, a non-metallic element often found in rocks or minerals. + composé organosilicié + composti organosiliconici + organische silicoonverbinding + Organische Silikonverbindung + + + + + organosulphur compound + One of a group of substances which contain both carbon and sulfur. + composé organosulfuré + composti organici solforati + organische zwavelverbinding + Organische Schwefelverbindung + + + + + organotin compound + Chemical compounds used in anti-foulant paints to protect the hulls of boats and ships, buoys and pilings from marine organisms such as barnacles. + composé organostannique + composti organici dello stagno + organische tinverbinding + Organische Zinnverbindung + + + + + asbestos cement + A hardened mixture of asbestos fibers, Portland cement and water used in relatively thin slabs for shingles, wallboard and siding. + ciment amianté + cemento-amianto + asbestcement + Asbestzement + + + + + + + + ornithology + The branch of zoology that deals with the study of birds, including their physiology, classification, ecology, and behaviour. + ornithologie + ornitologia + vogelkunde + Ornithologie + + + + + orography + A rarely used word referring to the study of mountain systems and the depiction of their relief. + orographie + orografia + gebergtebeschrijving + Orographie + + + + + + orthopteran + A heterogeneous order of generalized insects with gradual metamorphosis, chewing mouthparts, and four wings. + orthoptère + ortotteri + rechtvleugeligen + Orthopteren + + + + + + + osmosis + The passage of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane separating two solutions of different concentrations. A semipermeable membrane is one through which the molecules of a solvent can pass but the molecules of most solutes cannot. There is a thermodynamic tendency for solutions separated by such a membrane to become equal in concentration, the water (or other solvent) flowing from the weaker to the stronger solution. Osmosis will stop when the two solutions reach equal concentration, and can also be stopped by applying a pressure to the liquid on the stronger-solution side of the membrane. The pressure required to stop the flow from a pure solvent into a solution is a characteristic of the solution, and is called the osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure depends only on the concentration of particles in the solution, not on their nature. + osmose + osmosi + osmose + Osmose + + + + + + + ASEAN + Association of Southeast Asian Nations. + ANASE + ASEAN + ASEAN + Asean + + + + + local recreation + A pastime, diversion, exercise or other means of enjoyment and relaxation that is carried out in a particular city, town or small district. + loisirs locaux + turismo locale + plaatselijke vrijetijdsbesteding + Naherholung + + + + + + overburden + The material such as soil and rock lying above a mineral deposit that must be removed in order to work the deposit. + surcharge + cappellaccio + overbelasting + Abraum + + + + + + + + + overcrowding + An excess of people gathered together in a confined space. + entassement + sovraffollamento + overbevolking + Überfüllung + + + + + overexploitation + The use of raw materials excessively without considering the long-term ecological impacts of such use. + surexploitation + sfruttamento eccessivo + overexploitatie + Raubbau + + + + + + + overfertilisation + Putting too much fertilizer on land; the runoff from overfertilisation can cause water pollution. + surfertilisation + uso eccessivo di fertilizzanti + vermesting + Überdüngung + + + + + + + + + + ash + The incombustible matter remaining after a substance has been incinerated. + cendre + cenere + as + Asche + + + + + + + + + overfishing + Taking out of the sea more than natural population growth can sustain. Overfishing has a number of causes, the most ruthless being "chronic over capacity" of modern fishing fleets to effectively take far more fish than can be replaced. + surpêche + pesca eccessiva + overbevissing + Überfischung + + + + + + + overgrazing + Intensive grazing by animals, for example cattle, sheep or goats, on an area of pasture. It has become a serious threat to the world's rangelands and grasslands. Several factors have led to overgrazing, which leads to the soil being degraded and becoming liable to erosion by wind and rain, and even to desertification. The main pressures leading to widespread overgrazing have been the need to increase the size and numbers of herds to produce more food for an increasing human population, and the transformation of traditional pasture land into plantations to grow cash crops. Throughout the dry tropics, where traditionally herds ranged over vast areas, intensive livestock-rearing schemes have taken over, mostly to provide meat for the export market. Well-digging operations have also led to heavy concentrations of animals in small areas. + surpâturage + pascolo eccessivo + overbeweiding + Überweidung + + + + + + + + + overhead power line + Suspended cables by which electrical power is distributed throughout a country. + ligne électrique aérienne + cavo di tensione sospeso + bovengrondse elektriciteitsleiding + Überlandleitung + + + + + + + overpopulation + A population density that exceeds the capacity of the environment to supply the health requirements of the individual organism. + surpopulation + sovrappopolazione + overbevolking + Übervölkerung + + + + + + overturn (limnology) + The circulation, especially in the fall and spring, of the layers of water in a lake or sea, whereby surface water sinks and mixes with bottom water; it is caused by changes in density differences due to changes in temperature, and is especially common wherever lakes are icebound in winter. + brassage convectif + circolazione (limnologia) + stratificatie-omkering (limnologie) + Zirkulation + + + + + + + overwintering + To spend winter in a particular place. + hivernage + svernamento + (laten) overwinteren + Überwinterung + + + + + ownership + Collection of rights to use and enjoy property, including right to transmit it to others.

The main chemicals that are depleting stratospheric ozone are chlorofluorocarbons which are used in refrigerators, aerosols, and as cleaners in many industries, and halons, which are used in fire extinguishers. The damage is caused when these chemicals release highly reactive forms of chlorine and bromine. Over the past 30 years ozone levels over parts of Antarctica have dropped by almost 40% during some months and a "hole" in ozone concentrations is clearly visible in satellite observations. + appauvrissement de la couche d'ozone + distruzione dello strato di ozono + aantasting van de ozonlaag + Abbau der Ozonschicht + + + + + + + + + ozonisation + The process of treating, impregnating or combining with ozone. + ozonation + ozonizzazione + ozonisatie + Ozonierung + + + + + + + + packaging + All products made of any materials of any nature to be used for the containment, protection, handling, delivery and presentation of goods, from raw materials to processed goods, from the producer to the user or the consumer. + emballage + imballaggio + verpakking + Verpackung + + + + + + + + + + + + acoustics + The science of the production, transmission and effects of sound. + acoustique + acustica + geluidsleer + Akustik + + + + + + + + + + packaging waste + Waste comprised of materials, or items, used to protect, contain, or transport a commodity or product and usually considered a type of consumer waste. + déchet d'emballage + rifiuto da imballaggio + verpakkingsafval + Verpackungsabfall + + + + + + + paint + A mixture of pigment and a vehicle, such as oil or water, that together form a liquid or paste that can be applied to a surface to provide an adherent coating that imparts colour to and often protects the surface. + peinture + vernice + verf + Anstrichmittel + + + + + + painting business + A commercial service through which paint, a decorative or protective coating product, or similar products are applied to the interiors and exteriors of buildings and other surfaces. + entreprise de peinture + impresa di tinteggiatura e verniciatura + schildersbedrijf + Malerbetrieb + + + + + + paint shop + A shop where paint and related items are sold. + magasin de peinture + negozio di vernici + verfwinkel + Lackiererei + + + + + + palaeontology + The study of life in past geologic time, based on fossil plants and animals and including phylogeny, their relationship to existing plants, animals, and environments, and the chronology of the Earth's history. + paléontologie + paleontologia + paleontologie + Paläontologie + + + + + paper + Felted or matted sheets of cellulose fibers, formed on a fine-wire screen from a dilute water suspension, and bonded together as the water is removed and the sheet is dried. + papier + carta + papier + Papier + + + + + + + paper industry + Industrial production of paper: pulp is produced by mechanically or chemically processing wood or other vegetative materials to extract usable cellulosic fibers as an aqueous slurry. The pulp slurry may be used directly in paper making or it may be shipped elsewhere for processing into paper products.

Other uses include: lubricants, fluorescent light ballasts, paints, glues, waxes, carbonless copy paper, inks including newspapers, dust-control agents for dirt roads, solvents for spreading insecticides, cutting oils. PCBs are stable compounds and although they are no longer manufactured they are extremely persistent and remain in huge quantities in the atmosphere and in landfill sites. They are not water-soluble and float on the surface of water where they are eaten by aquatic animals and so enter the food chain.

Also known as sea floor; sea bottom. The ocean floor is defined as the near-horizontal surface of the ocean basin. + fond marin + fondo del mare + zeebodem + Meeresboden + + + + + + + + sea bed exploitation + Marine mineral resources extend far beyond those presently exploited; minerals are derived from two separate types of marine sources: from sedimentary deposits underlying the continental shelves and from inshore deposits on the surface of the continental shelves. By far the most valuable of the mineral resources exploited from marine environments is petroleum. Offshore placer deposits on the surface of the continental shelves yield gold, platinum, and tin. On the floors of the world's oceans manganese nodules are found as a result of pelagic sedimentation or precipitation; they are small, irregular, black to brown, friable, laminated concretionary masses consisting primarily of manganese salts and manganese-oxide minerals. + exploitation des fonds marins + sfruttamento del fondo marino + exploitatie van de zeebodem + Ausbeutung des Meeresgrundes + + + + + + + sea bed mining + The activity or processes involving the extraction of mineral deposits from the surface, or below the surface, of the ocean floor. + extraction minière sur le fonds marin + attività mineraria sul fondo marino + zandbankontginning + Meereslagerstättenabbau + + + + + + sea circulation + Large-scale horizontal water motion within an ocean. The way energy from the sun, stored in the sea, is transported around the world. The currents explain, for example, why the UK has ice-free ports in winter, while St. Petersburg, at the same latitude as the Shetland Islands, needs ice breakers. Evidence is growing that the world's ocean circulation was very different during the last ice age and has changed several times in the distant past, with dramatic effects on climate. The oceans are vital as storehouses, as they absorb more than half the sun's heat reaching the earth. This heat, which is primarily absorbed near the equator is carried around the world and released elsewhere, creating currents which last up to 1.000 years. As the Earth rotates and the wind acts upon the surface, currents carry warm tropical water to the cooler parts of the world. The strength and direction of the currents are affected by landmasses, bottlenecks through narrow straits, and even the shape of the sea-bed. When the warm water reaches polar regions its heat evaporates into the atmosphere, reducing its temperature and increasing its density. When sea-water freezes it leaves salt behind in the unfrozen water and this cold water sinks into the ocean and begins to flow back to the tropics. Eventually it is heated and begins the cycle all over again. + circulation maritime + circolazione del mare + zeestroming + Meereskreislauf + + + + + + + beach + The unconsolidated material that covers a gently sloping zone, typically with a concave profile, extending landward from the low-water line to the place where there is a definite change in material or physiographic from (such as a cliff), or to the line of permanent vegetation (usually the effective limit of the highest storm waves); a shore of body of water, formed and washed by waves or tides, usually covered by sand or gravel, and lacking a bare rocky surface. + plage + spiaggia + strand + Strand + + + + + + + sea level + The level of the surface of the ocean; especially, the mean level halfway between high and low tide, used as a standard in reckoning land elevation or sea depths. + niveau de la mer + livello del mare + zeespiegel + Meeresspiegel + + + + + + + + sea level rise + Sea-level rises are a possible consequence of global warming. As the amount of free water in the oceans increases, and as the water becomes warmer, global warming will increase.

Sea-water accounts for more than 98% of the mass of the hydrosphere and covers just over 70% of the globe. Because of the composition and stability of the oceans, and the way they are controlled, they are of great importance to the climate, and great attention has been given to studying the effects of pollution.

Sensitivity analysis is an integral part of simulation experimentation and may influence model formulations. It is commonly used to examine model behaviour. The general procedure is to define a model output variable that represents an important aspect of model behaviour. The values of various inputs of the model are then varied and the resultant change in the output variable is monitored. Large changes in the output variable imply that the particular input varied is important in controlling model behaviour. Within this general definition, sensitivity analysis has been applied to a variety of model inputs including state variables, environmental variables and initial conditions. + calcul de sensibilité + analisi della sensibilità + gevoeligheidsanalyse + Sensitivitätsanalyse + + + + + + separated collection + The collection of individual components of solid waste from any source, usually separated into different collection containers, in order to recover, reuse or recycle the material or to facilitate its collection and disposal. + collecte sélective des déchets + raccolta differenziata + gescheiden inzameling + Getrennte Sammlung + + + + + + beef cattle + Cattle bred for the production of meat. + bétail de boucherie + vacche da carne + slachtvee + Schlachtrind + + + + + + separation at source + Segregating various wastes at the point of generation (e.g. separation of paper, metal and glass from other wastes) to make recycling simpler and more efficient. + tri à la source + separazione alla fonte + scheiding bij de bron + Mülltrennung (an der Abfallquelle) + + + + + separator + A machine for separating materials of different specific gravity by means of water or air. + séparateur + separatore + (af)scheider + Abscheider + + + + + + + + + septic tank + A tank, usually underground, into which sewage flows, the deposited matter being wholly, or partially broken down through anaerobic action.

The generally accepted impact of soil acidification on the productivity of terrestrial plants is summarised as follows: as soil becomes more acidic the basic cations (Ca, Mg) on the soil exchange are replaced by hydrogen ions or solubilized metals. The basic cation, now in solution, can be leached through the soil. As time progresses the soil becomes less fertile and more acidic. Resultant decreases in soil pH cause reduced, less-active population of soil microorganisms, which in turn slow decomposition of plant residues and cycling of essential plant nutrients. + acidification des sols + acidificazione del suolo + bodemverzuring + Bodenversauerung + + + + + + + + soil air + The air and other gases in spaces in the soil; specifically that which is found within the zone of aeration.

A study financed by UNEP, reporting in 1992, found that about 10,5% of the world's vegetative surface had been seriously damaged by human activity since 1945. The study found that much of the damage had been masked by a general rise in global agricultural productivity resulting from expanded irrigation, better plant varieties, and greater use of production inputs, such as fertilizers and pesticides. More than 1/3 of the damaged land was in Asia, almost 1/3 in Africa, and 1/4 in Central America. Some land had been damaged beyond restoration. The greatest sources of soil degradation were overgrazing, unsuitable agricultural practices, and deforestation. + déterioration du sol + danno al suolo + schade aan de bodem + Bodenschädigung + + + + + + soil decontamination + Technologies employed in the removal of PCBs, PAH, pesticides and, more generally, of organic compounds by physical, chemical or biological treatments. + décontamination des sols + decontaminazione del suolo + bodemsanering + Bodendekontamination + + + + + + + + soil degradation + Soil may deteriorate either by physical movement of soil particles from a given site or by depletion of the water-soluble elements in the soil which contribute to the nourishment of crop, plants, grasses, trees, and other economically usable vegetation.

It is also known as pedogenesis. The most important soil-forming factors are parent material, terrain, climate, aspect, vegetation cover, microorganisms in the soil and the age of the land surface. Some pedologists would add to this list the influence of human activities. All the factors exhibit varying degrees of interrelationship and some are more important than others, with climate often being singled out as the most important. + formation du sol + formazione del suolo + bodemvorming + Bodenbildung + + + + + + soil improvement + Process of protecting the soil from excessive erosion and making soil more fertile and productive. + amendement du sol + miglioramento del suolo + grondverbetering + Bodenverbesserung + + + + + + + soil layer + Distinctive successive layers of soil produced by internal redistribution processes.

Since it is held against the force of gravity it is permanently available for plant growth and it is this type of soil water which contains plant nutrients in solution. c) Water in excess of hygroscopic and capillary water is termed gravitational water, which is of a transitory nature because it flows away under the influence of gravity. When the excess has drained away the amount of water retained in the soil is termed its field capacity, when some of its pore spaces are still free of water. + humidité du sol + umidità del suolo + bodemvocht + Bodenfeuchtigkeit + + + + + + + + soil moisture regime + The water regime of the soil is determined by the physical properties and arrangement of the soil particles.

Biosphere reserves and buffer zones were regarded as examples of a new generation of conservation techniques. + réserve de biosphère + riserva della biosfera + reserve van de biosfeer + Biosphärenreservat + + + + + + + + ventilation + The process of supplying or removing air, by natural or mechanical means, to or from any space; such air may or may not have been conditioned. + ventilation + ventilazione + luchtverversing + Lüftung + + + + + + + vermin + Small animals and insects that can be harmful and which are difficult to control when they appear in large numbers. + vermine + animali molesti + ongedierte + Ungeziefer + + + + + + vertebrate + Any chordate animal of the subphylum Vertebrata, characterized by a bony or cartilaginous skeleton and a well-developed brain: the group contains fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. + vertébré + vertebrati + gewervelde dieren + Vertebraten + + + + + + + + + + + + biosynthesis + Production, by synthesis or degradation, of a chemical compound by a living organism. + biosynthèse + biosintesi + biosynthese + Biosynthese + + + + + + + + + veterinary medicine + The branch of medical practice which treats of the diseases and injuries of animals. + médecine vétérinaire + medicina veterinaria + diergeneeskunde + Tiermedizin + + + + + + + viaduct + A long high bridge, usually held up by many arches, which carries a railway or a road over a valley or other similar area at a lower level. + viaduc + viadotto + viaduct + Viadukt + + + + + + vibration + A periodic motion of small amplitude and high frequency, characteristic of elastic bodies. + vibration + vibrazioni + trillingen + Erschütterung + + + + + video + A format or system used to record and transmit visual or audiovisual information by translating moving or still images into electrical signals. + vidéo + video + video + video + + + + + village + A group of houses and other buildings, such as a church, a school and some shops, which is smaller than a town, usually in the countryside. + village + villaggio + dorp + Dorf + + + + + + + + vinasse + The residual liquid from the distillation of alcoholic liquors, specifically, that remaining from the fermentation and distillation of beet-sugar molasses, valuable as yielding potassium salts, ammonia, etc. + vinasse + vinaccia + vinasse + Schlempe + + + + + + + virology + The study of submicroscopic organisms known as viruses. + virologie + virologia + virologie + Virologie + + + + + + + virus + Submicroscopic agents that infect plants, animals and bacteria, and are unable to reproduce outside the tissues of the host. A fully formed virus consists of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein and lipid (fat) coat. The nucleic acid of the virus interferes with nucleic acid-synthesizing mechanism of the host cell, organizing it to produce more viral nucleic acid. Viruses cause many diseases (e.g., mosaic diseases of many cultivated plants, myxomatosis, foot and mouth disease, the common cold, influenza, measles, poliomyelitis). Many plant viruses are transmitted by insects, some by eelworms. Animal viruses are spread by contact, droplet infection or by insect vectors and some are spread by the exchange of body fluids. + virus + virus + virussen + Virus + + + + + + + viscosity + Energy dissipation and generation of stresses in a fluid by the distortion of fluid elements; quantitatively, when otherwise qualified, the absolute viscosity.

It is a highly dynamic ecosystem with tidal channels, sands, mud flats, salt marshes, beaches, dunes, river mouths and a transition zone to the North Sea, the offshore zone. Most parts of the Wadden Sea, in particular in The Netherlands and Lower Saxony, are sheltered by barrier islands and contain smaller or wider areas of intertidal flats. The present form of the Wadden Sea is the result of both natural forces and action by man. Twice a day, on average, 15 km3 of sea water enter the Wadden sea. With the water from the North Sea, large amount of sand and silt are imported which settle in places with little water movement. During low tides large parts of the Wadden Sea emerge. These so-called tidal flats cover about 2/3 of the tidal area and are one of its most characteristic features. Nowhere in the world can such a large unbroken stretch of tidal flats be found. They account for 60% of all tidal areas in Europe and North Africa. + mer des Wadden + mare di Wadden + Waddenzee + Wattenmeer + + + + + + + biotope network + Intersection of corridors connecting patchy ecological communities.

Wassergefährdung + + + + + + + + + water erosion + The breakdown of solid rock into smaller particles and its removal by water. As weathering, erosion is a natural geological process, but more rapid soil erosion results from poor land-use practices, leading to the loss of fertile topsoil and to the silting of dams, lakes, rivers and harbours. There are three classes of erosion by water. a) Splash erosion occurs when raindrops strike bare soil, causing it to splash, as mud, to flow into spaces in the soil and to turn the upper layer of soil into a structureless, compacted mass that dries with a hard, largely impermeable crust. b) Surface flow occurs when soil is removed with surface run-off during heavy rain. c) Channelized flow occurs when a flowing mixture of water and soil cuts a channel, which is then deepened by further scouring. A minor erosion channel is called a rill, a larger channel a gully. + érosion par l'eau + erosione idrica + watererosie + Wassererosion + + + + + water extraction + Pumping of water for different purposes (i.e. agriculture, land reclamation, domestic and industrial use, etc.). + extraction d'eau + estrazione di acqua + wateronttrekking + Wasserentnahme + + + + + + + + birth control + Limitation of the number of children born by preventing or reducing the frequency of impregnation. + régulation des naissances + controllo delle nascite + geboortebeperking + Geburtenregelung + + + + + waterfall + A perpendicular or steep descent of the water of a stream, as where it crosses an outcrop of resistant rock overhanging softer rock that has been eroded or flows over the edge of a plateau of cliffed coast. + cascade + cascata + waterval + Wasserfall + + + + + + water flea + Fresh-water branchiopod crustaceans characterized by a transparent bivalve shell. + puce d'eau + pulci d'acqua + watervlooien + Daphnien + + + + + hydrologic flow + The characteristic behaviour and the total quantity of water involved in a drainage basin, determined by measuring such quantities as rainfall, surface and subsurface storage and flow, and evapotranspiration. + régime hydrologique + flusso idrologico + hydrologische stroming + Wasserfluß + + + + + + + + water for agricultural use + Water used in agriculture for irrigation and livestock.
