| Terms for subject Environment (7489 entries) |
| socioeconomic factor (An essential element in a society's make-up, organization or behavior that combines financial dimensions with inter-personal or inter-group dynamics) | sotsiaalmajanduslik tegur | |
| socioeconomic impact of biotechnologies (Biotechnology is the application of biological and technical solutions to problems, and often refers to the industrial use of microorganisms (perhaps genetically altered) to perform chemical processing, for example of waste or water, or to manufacture hormones or enzymes for medicinal and commercial purposes. Biotechnology offers great potential to increase farm production and food processing efficiency, to lower food costs, to enhance food quality and safety and to increase international competitiveness) | biotehnoloogia sotsiaalmajanduslik mõju | |
| socioeconomics (Economic and social structure of communities, tax rates, characteristic types of development) | sotsioökonoomika | |
| socioeducational activity (Instruction or events designed to offer learning or cultural experiences to populations without access to traditional educational institutions due to social or economic barriers) | sotsiaalhariduslik tegevus | |
| sociological survey (Research on social questions or problems, especially focusing on cultural and environmental factors) | sotsioloogiline uuring | |
| sociology (The study of the development, organization, functioning and classification of human societies) | sotsioloogia | |
| sociopolitical aspect (Any part, feature or quality of society that combines governmental dimensions with inter-personal or inter-group dynamics) | sotsiaalpoliitiline aspekt | |
| softening (Reduction of the hardness of water by removing hardness-forming ions (chiefly calcium and magnesium) by precipitation or ion exchange, or sequestering them as by combining them with substances such as certain phosphates, that form soluble but non-ionized salts) | veepehmendus | |
| softening agent (1. A substance added to another substance to increase its softness, pliability, or plasticity. 2. A substance, such as a zeolite, for softening water) | veepehmendusaine | |
| software (Software is the general term used to describe all of the various programs that may be used on a computer system. Software can be divided into four main categories: systems software, development software, user interface software, applications software) | tarkvara | |
| software development (No definition needed) | tarkvaraarendus | |
| soil (The top layer of the land surface of the earth that is composed of disintegrated rock particles, humus, water and air) | muld | |
| soil | muld | |
| soil | mullastik | |
| soil acidification (A naturally occurring process in humid climates that has long been the subject of research, whose findings suggest acid precipitation effects. 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) | mulla hapestumine | |
| soil air (The air and other gases in spaces in the soil; specifically that which is found within the zone of aeration. Also known as soil atmosphere) | mullaõhk | |
| soil amendment | mullaparandusaine | |
| soil analysis (The use of rapid chemical analyses to determine the fertility status of a soil. It is used to identify those nutrients or substances that are present in either insufficient or excessive quantities for optimum plant growth. Analyses are also used to monitor increases or decreases in soil fertility over time) | mullaanalüüs | |
| soil biology (The study of the living organisms, mainly microorganisms and microinvertebrates which live within the soil, and which are largely responsible for the decomposition processes vital to soil fertility) | mullabioloogia | |
| soil capability (The suitability of soils for various uses, e.g. sustained production of cultivated crops, pasture plants, etc., depending on depth, texture, kinds of minerals, salinity, kinds of salts, acidity, etc.) | mulla suutvus |
