| Terms for subject Environment (24829 entries) |
| soil colloid | Kolloid | |
| soil colloid | Bodenkolloid | |
| soil compaction (An increase in bulk density (mass per unit volume) and a decrease in soil porosity resulting from applied loads, vibration, or pressure. More compacted soils (or other materials) can support greater loads (load-bearing capacity). Bulk density can be increased by controlling the moisture content, compaction forces and treatment procedures, as well as by manipulating the type of material being compacted) | Bodenverdichtung | |
| soil condition (Description of the character of the surface of the ground at the time of observation, especially in relation to the influence of rain and snow) | Bodenzustand | |
| soil conditioner | Bodenverbesserer | |
| soil conservation (Management of soil to prevent or reduce soil erosion and depletion by wind and water. Preservation of soil against deterioration and loss by using it within its capabilities; application of conservation practices needed for its protection and improvement) | Bodenschutz | |
| soil conservation legislation (A binding rule or body of rules prescribed by a government to protect and prevent the loss of an area's surface layer of decomposed rock and organic material, valued for its nutrients and ability to support life) | Bodenschutzrecht | |
| soil contamination | Bodenverseuchung | |
| soil damage (Soil impaired as a consequence of human activity. 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) | Bodenschädigung | |
| soil decontamination | Bodendekontamination | |
| soil decontamination | Bodenreinigung | |
| soil decontamination | Bodensanierung | |
| soil decontamination | Entgiftung von Böden | |
| soil decontamination (Technologies employed in the removal of PCBs, PAH, pesticides and, more generally, of organic compounds by physical, chemical or biological treatments) | Bodendekontamination | |
| soil degradation | Bodendegradation | |
| soil degradation | Degradation der Böden | |
| soil degradation | Verschlechterung der Böden | |
| soil degradation | Zustand der Böden | |
| soil degradation | Landverödung | |
| 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. The physical movement generally is referred to as erosion. Wind, water, glacial ice, animals and tools in use may be agents of erosion) | Bodendegradation |
